Default Lyrad project and intro

Presently working on a one of a kind 1967 Lyrad. Built in Montreal Canada imported to the USA in 1970. The original builder was using a metal framing process skinned in aluminum for the body. This was then covered in fiberglass. I will be reworking the rear section as the entire car gets restored. It runs a Jaguar engine and transmission/od that will hook to a Miata Independent Rear Suspension with a Torsen rearend (replaced a 1959 Sunbeam Alpine rear end with spring suspension) already installed.

Another project is a King size bed backboard sculpture using square tubing. The design has been completed with a strong mission style incorporated. It will include some wood accents.

Look forward to participating on this site.
