1996 Excalibur Cobra
When ever I'm on here, my grandson always asks to see everyone's cars. So this morning he asked if I could put his car on, so here is his.

Some progress since the arrival, but still a long way to go on the build.

Paint and body done, but some interior work still to finish it. I would like some dog dish style caps for this, similar to the old Malibu police cruisers..

Oh Yeah. Guess I better show my grand daughters' ride too!
I'm beginning to wonder if I'm going to live long enough to see this little beast completed .............. 1948 English Ford Thames panel ............ has been in rebuild for three years now

This is what we started with ........ looked okay from the outside but was really bad underneath .......... 25 years of hard launches had done a job on it

Ken and Stu I missed the kids' rides until today! Those are great. So I have to ask if anyone hear has modified any kids toy cars for "more power!" the Tim the tool man Taylor way?:LOL:
I too like the Isetta. I believe one of those is alive and well living here in my town. I see it about once every two years. Both times it was being driven by a very large man, which always provokes a bout of laughter from the wife and I. Cool rides.:LOL:
A lot of enjoyment for the last 36 years:)

That is one BEAUTIFUL 57 Ranchero!
i agree...any pics of the interior and engine
It's even nicer in person, I got a chance to see it at the Orange County show. Hard to believe it ever was a race car. It's beautiful!

Kind of wish I still had them both but I needed money and space for my next project.
