Ugly duckling, testing

Had to test a color that has been on my mind, silver paint mixed with black paste.
should be flat, will see... but the color is great. atleast for this.
if only the other side would be welded...and the front too... :-(
but, Boys will be boys...this was a fun experiment.
i made some things to the stroker too...

a face that only a mother could love....


even this might be one of the ugliest "pretty car"
it could be better, so i ordered some panels from 
www.karmannghia.de to get the face look decent.
The guys at texas modified the front ...well ...badly.
now it really needs the help of the "plastic surgery".
i don't know, should i just give up or go with the flow?


it is ...a beauty indeed. :-) but i love "layout" :-)


 you got to have faith? don't know anymore... ;-)


some parts still needed, especially the nose panel.

Super flo - under cover.

Time to cut up the new cylinder tins for the Super Flo heads,
They needed some cutting, and looks like i have to 
make more room for the spark plugs. not sure but it looks like
that theres no space at all for the wires. next stop is the alternator and 
the fan. maybe theres some plans how and where to cut, 
but lets learn this from the hard way.and the full flow areas
tinware needs to be modified as well, also because 
theres this cam position sensor. more of this later on.

ugly duckling - this time naked

This time without the flares, but drivers side welded..
I'm waiting for the headlamp area repairpanels to come from karmannghia.de,
but seems to take long, because of the bank transfer.
theres a lot to do, but i somehow fell in love with this piece of s..t, 
atleast after i used the saw to do room for the tires...

btw...what color would you choose?
