Invention is a combination of brains and materials.
The more brains you use, the less materials you need.

Very cool.

So here is the 64 thousand dollar question. What are you going to do DIFFERENT this time? In other words, what did you learn on the roadster that will impact what and how you proceed on the coupe?

It's not what i will do different so much but my thinking is different.
I never knew that i was going to be able to pull the roadster off. Learning and designing as i go and a full time job. Now that i have done it this will be a more relaxed build without the pressure.
I can only drive the roadster in certain weather and times. This car will have a heater/wipers/lockable etc. It will also be more of a reskin on the rear.
I started with a better donor and hope to leave stuff alone and not dump as much money in to it. So i guess my answer is i'm not trying to do one better just something different in the shop and in my head. Ray

Next i un taped the car and removed the rear window and the rest of the fiberglass around the back . re taped the car up with a gentle reverse curve style line and a baloney cut rear. I need to find some kinda back glass that will work. It may be to long. On the other car i removed a foot out of the frame and relocated the tank. sneaking up on it. Ray

Ray I admire your work.
I live just across the river from you in Vancouver.
Hope to see your car-cars one day.
Do you show them at any of the local events?
