top tint very nice, takes me back, used to get top tints fitted in my minis many moons ago
Fair play doesn't seem 5 minutes since you bought it
Dropped the crank off at the balanvers during a quiet period at work today.
Front end ironwork on

And back to playing with bodywork.

Yes. Ended up having to replace the front. At least two lots of accidents and bodged repairs in the original. I did salvage the left wheel arch line that was in about five bits.
does everything come from the states or are there uk suppliers
Yes. No one seems to do an off the shelf one for a Vette. They’re also doing a frame to mount the seats as the thoughts of them being on a fibreglass floor are a bit scary.

Yes, good idea about the frame - do you have a seat already? I have a spare Sparco Pro Adv I will be selling shortly if you're interested.
That split window looks bonkers!
Looks like it's in good professional hands! I see they have an Oval on the lift. But what a waste of a split back window rag top!! If your going to turn a bug into a drag car then use a later bug, not a super rare early 50's example!!

I hope your right Stu as I know you can get rear window kits to make your car look like an oval or a split (but the purist would be able to tell a mile off) looking at the thickness of the door and window surrounds it is certainly no younger than a 64 though! It has a one piece front end and a roof chop!I have a feeling it's not a genuine split window - the proportions & the shape look wrong to me, perhaps it's a retro recreation?
