Thanks Jeff for the excellent photos. A couple of questions - what is the material on the backside & does it just sit on top of the leather (no edge treatment)?

The originals are more like a melamine pressboard which curls and degrades.
The PE is lasting and replication.

Been working on things unseen clearing brakes from wheels etc. A few additions via Mike Kraus will help as this frame was missing a few things. BTW Mike can also fabricate a frame. He has really done a great job making frame plans, attention to detail second to none.
THANKS MIKE!
Collecting parts on the side.

Hi Jeff, this one is going to be a street car, a clone of #2317 ? Instead of the T-10 why don't you go with a 5spd for a better highway cruise?

Tom
Great question. First the T10 is correct for the car. Using a 64 -289 five bolt block limits some fittment of new options.
A five speed would be nice but I think I prefer a fully functional period part.
Using a 3:31 rear should be fine at 70mph.

Jeff,
The frame looks great! What are you going to have done to it at the frame shop? I imagine that it is going tone powder coated. Looking forward to the nests photos.

Neat cars - amazingly roomy seating for two once inside. I have memory of tearing through a neighborhood with a crazy friend in his Mini about 1969. We apparently irritated a home owner who was not a foreign car fan and he ran out and chased us down the street with a rake.  |
