Yup! It’s still on the list for sure! Sir Lancerlot won’t be leaving the stable.

You’re like a crack dealer! :shock:

I’m getting better (sort of) at withstanding temptation… sometimes… :roll: :lol:


We won’t talk about the $200 Barracuda shell or the ‘59 Chrysler fins…. Those don’t really count… 8) :mrgreen:

I had to go back and read from Post #1.
Not thru it yet, about halfway so far.
But a lot of parallels to my projects ( no military "business trips" though for me) and various delays.
I have a volare that's been in pieces for too long now

Remind me what state of completion this is in? It is a pretty almost "Rick Covalt" blue color. I love the look of that body style. It would make someone a super nice car. Now if I didn't already have a nice blue car......... :D :D

The chassis is done. It's ready for a motor and trans. (225/904) driveshaft is made as are headers. Needs wiring, shifter, and new belts. It's got a 4.56/spool in it with Moser axles. Radiator/fan are ready to drop in. Fuel cell and pump are in it.

The big bucks would be the Monocoque wheels.

Delivery available. :mrgreen:

I started the disassembly the other evening.

I got the fenders, nose off and cut the K member out. Man, I’m glad we didn’t try to race this thing the way it was butchered! :shock:

Next time I’m over at the Radcliff shop I’ll lop the front end off for Lee (crash damage repair for his Horizon). Then I’ll remove the shortened 8 3/4 and cut up the rest for scrap.

I got the core support and inner fenders lopped off last night.

I’ll take that and the K member to the Lemons race at Road Atlanta in December to hand off to Lee for his Horizon.
