Lawrence I have a few more pictures of the coupe, before we put the body on.

Looking more and more like a car. Will it actually take that big of a tire with the body on it? If it will I'll have to get some more wheels. I don't think the ones I've got will take that big a tire and you know I've got to have the biggest meats that'll fit on it.
I'll add these to my collection. Thanks, |

Lawrence, these are my slicks off my cobra they 27X10 just to show you what will fit, let me know what size you have and I will confirm but you should be fine with your stock wheels.

I wonder why Clois hasn't posted here? I know he is working on the original B&B daytona and as Brian mentioned, he was part of the original plan to help distribute these cars. If you are looking to buy one of these cars, give Clois a call, he can be a great source of information. Maybe he will chime in here soon.
|
Call or PM me I will answer any questions you have.

Sounds good, Bryan. Looking forward to getting more pics.
I've got 15" x 8" fronts and 15" x 9" rear Vintage wheels. Not sure of the max size tire I can put on the 15" x 9" rears. Probably a 10" wide. I'll have to research that some more. Have you got recommendations? Lawrence |

Looks great, Bryan. It looks like your guys are doing a first rate job with it. I'm ready to go to work on it.
Thanks, |

Lawrence I have more shots of the coupe, we got the front clip on the car, let me Know what you think.

Looking great, Bryan. The pic with all four wheels on it makes it look like it's almost ready to hit the road.
With the new chassis under it are the door and hood seams coming together pretty well? That shop looks like the one up on the interstate. Is that where you're putting it together? Thanks for the new pics. Looks like you're making great progress. Lawrence |

Yes this is the shop Right on the interstate I moved it over their to assemble and get the exposure from the HWY, everything is fitting great, we will start putting the rear window and side glass, along with the light kit all of the finishing items are going on next week. here are a few more pics as well.

Continuing to look great, Bryan. And I also continue to be impressed by the quality of the components shown in the pictures. First rate piece of work.
And I see you've got my seat in the car. If I fit in the seat and the seat fits in the car we're good to go. For any of you oversize guys out there, I got a Kirkey seat that I would fit into (their next to largest, I think) and I took it out to B&B when I made my visit. I told Bryan the seat had to fit the car and needed to go as far back and down as it would go. As he mentioned previously, he dropped the floor pan a couple of inches and said he would slightly reposition the seat belt mounts so the seat would go all the way back to the rear bulkhead. Looks like it worked out fine. It'll still be kind of humorous watching me get into it, but I think I'll be fine once I get in. I was considering a Gurney bubble at one point but if the seat fits I won't need it. The removeable steering wheel that Bryan installs should help a lot too. |
Thank you Lawrence. With the totally redesigned frame, this has been a real experience to work on and around. I hope you like the little added "touches" I did. If you don't notice them, I'll tell you later. I also want a video of you practicing your "Bo and Luke dive in and go".
|
I'm afraid it would be more of a oversize "Boss Hog" dive in and go and we'd have to rig up some kind of chute in through the rear hatch to make it happen. An elegant LeMans start it won't be.
You and Laurie and family have a great Easter weekend and keep the progress pics coming next week. Thanks, |
