No my dads into restoring antique cars to original specs. What you see in that pic is a
1918 dodge roadster in the back left
A late 1920s Ford model A phaeton close up on the left
195X Chrysler New Yorker or something like that in the back right
1928 Reo Royal next to the Chrysler.
And lastly the body and frame with motor is a 192X nash roadster.

The Reo is for sale if someone who is into the hobby is interested.

Good progress Josh! Keep up the good work, and when you're done let me know. We'll do a proper photoshoot with our cabbys.

My dad had a Mk3 cabrio for a while. had a basketcase auto tranny that kept dying though. But I was young so i thought it was cool at the time.

agh. cabby=cabriolet=volkswagon cabriolet=volkswagon rabbit=FTL

I think another permutation (sp?) of this equation is: cabby=cabriolet=volkswagen cabriolet=volkswagen rabbit=CHICK CAR=FTL

Got the swap stuff from the paint shop today. I was fairly impressed with the work in general. I have gone to this place in the past for my painting needs.

Heres all the parts but the tech 1 fiberglass insert which i quickly took to my room for assembly.



A shot of the Mtech 2 replica rear valence and the IS lip.



Did a fairly good job taking the dent out of the front bumper



I will probably have another update tonight when i put the mtech wing back together.

Nice man! What'd it cost to get all that stuff sprayed?

500 bills for 6 parts. Now i need to visit the stealership to get those plastic expanding rivets to put the bumper skins back on the cores.
