Four days of work taking of parts. I would work on this day and night if I wasn't married. I will take time off this weekend of course. All I have left is the steering and the front wheel linkage to disassemble. Next will be sending it to be soda blasted.

Looking good- I've always loved those. I a guy that lived near me had one, and on rare occasion I'd see him launch it at the ramp... I always wanted one!

My neighbor had one and sold it when I was about 15 years old. It was out of the question for me to purchase at that time. I have wanted one since that time. Took me 30 years but I finally got one and I will use it all I can. There is a club of 30 members near me that is very helpful.

Gilligan Seeing how much you have done so far makes me think you are not married.
Couple things that might help you on your restoration. First The car definitely needs bigger fins, Second Probably should repower with Scott power, and a nice dual axel Tee Nee to tow it around with.
Great work T thanks for sharing the restoration pictures with us.
