A warm welcome to CHR!!! Enjoy...

Thanks for the photo 23willys, I thought it was but was puzzled with no hinges showing. I am fitting opening doors to my fibreglass Bucket body at the moment and purchased small bearclaw catches like yours but I 'm using exposed hinges and when your doors are closed they look as if they don't open. Again nice car and it must be rare now. One last question.... are the pipes baffled???

Yes, each and every one of them. I welded washers onto the tubes shown, and bolted them through with a stainless bolt each. I have a pretty decent cam in the little 305, but it's not extremely loud. I could still pack them each with some "copper" or "stainless" steel wool.

Seems I've been gone a while. I've made a top for this car since I last posted, and drove the wheels off it.
