    Hi John,

    Thanks for calling the other day regarding the J5. You mentioned that you may be able to find out who had molded the flip front body. If you could forward this info to me I'd be grateful. Thinking of my next project.

    Send your email address an I'll send a few pics of my hayabusa fury.

    Thanks in advance for any info you can get.

    Keith

    I worked on the final shape and fitment of the body. I wasn't completely happy with the rear deck. So, I did a mock up creating a slight arch from side to side and transition's from the wheel...

    Well it's been over a week since my last post. I went away for a few days to visit family and friends. Then I took some time to clean the shop. Then I decided that I needed to build a new frame! ...

    I worked on the car this afternoon. - Before I narrowed the body I cut out the license plate holder. I cut a new hole for it today, tabbed it in, and glassed it from the back. - I lowered the...

    I've been slowly working on the frame. A friend gave me a C4 Vette roller. I stripped it down and turned it over. Then I tack welded 2 by 2 tubing to the frame rails. Then tacked together jigs for...

    I've finished designing and mocking up the frame. I'll need the hood now to finish the radiator mounts, front upper cross member and hood pivots. Hopefully I'll be able to get the hood next week. ...
