    We've been really busy trying to get my roadster done lately. It's getting tougher to get personal projects done in between race car prep for El Mirage and Bonneville.

    I thought I'd share a couple of pics of it with final paint. It's almost done, needs interior work and some other details.

    Special thanks go out to Fabian Valdez/ VINTAGE HAMMER GARAGE for metal work, body, and paint. He's taken this body from a pile of scrap metal to what you see now.

  26. Man, I saw that car out at Fabian's a few years ago, and it sure didn't look like that. When you say it started as a pile, you are right! Had my doubts then that it would ever look like anything, but you are right, Fabian is The Man!! Glad you perservered, it looks awesome!
