I'd love to see this thing up close, but now I'm half a continent away so not too likely to run into it. I've enjoyed watching all of it and it's a beautiful ride.

Thanks, guys.

I heard yesterday that it moved from the storage building into the mechanic shop. Don't know any story.

Owner specifically requested an engine cover. Here is a sketch of the idea-

Mike has been making up some interior pieces. I hear tell that the upholsterer will be ready for it this month some time, and that the bumper is promised next month. It seems as though theres a push to get it to SEMA this year. Nothing went last year but we had been in the habit of taking two before that..

SEMA was cancelled, Matt.

Scratch that then. :oops:

I'd be happiest if it just went to another four letter place... home!

Three years deep in vehicle construction I am, with nothing on the road yet. You built three or four in that time.

Interesting look to that engine cover, very sleek. It's almost like a hood under the hood.

That is the idea. I am not aware of any styling choice options given by us that have been accepted so I have little reason to belive that idea will make it onto the car. I did spit out an image that the boss thought was cool. Taking the original tri-power emblems and modifying to read EFI power.



I think just one of those, at the front of the "inner hood" might be cute.

Here is an unrelated bonus image. The hovercraft I drove in college.

Cool hovercraft. did George Lucas see you drive that thing before he made Star Wars?  

I like it when builders make emblems which look like the originals but reflect the updated parts under the skin.

Catalina is at the interior place. Any action on color speculation? :?:
