Beautiful work, what can you tell us about the car?

nuge 01-18-2018 11:59 PM

Its a 1959 AC Ace chassis no: BEX 1000. All i did was build the body, grille and fuel tank and fit it all, no mechanical or paint etc. Built quite a few of these, such an easy car to build construction method identical to Cobra, space frame superleggera etc wonderful things i love them.

Nice craftsmanship! That looks great. Sure looks like a lot of hours invested there.

Absolutely Beautiful!

'way to pretty to hide the skill and workmanship with paint.

Thanks, many hours in it as you could imagine.

Absolutely Beautiful! So fond of this car... The AC is where it all started for me as a kid growing up in SoCal in the late 60s. My neighbor had a 59 and his garage became my second home every weekend.

Thanks so much for sharing pictures of the car and your awesome workmanship!

Well, that was easy ;-)

This is an absolutely lovely job! I watched my coach builder for another car one day when I fiddled around with the brakes. It can be an amazingly quick process to wheel aluminium - if you know what you do. The hours, of course, go into the details. Like around the lamps.

Thanks Dominik.
