There are so many cool things happening in these pictures; awesome cases, interesting just how big Reale is relative to 1765 Vic, impeccable ‘Nova!

 

Did you have to do a lot of metal work on the body, or was the car in good shape from the start?

Hi Marc,

I bought the car in 1984 off the original owner for $75 and had rust in the usual areas that I fixed when I painted her up back then, but after 25 years new areas started to rust so I made the decision to replace all the sheet except the roof, tail light panel, rockers and windshield cowl. This was the 3rd and final go around, needless to say I put in countless hours to get it into the shape its in.

Thank you Dave, I've been checking out your builds and they are very nice indeed👍. One of these days I'll work up enough courage to tackle a wood kit.
