Great looking car. Bet you are looking forward to putting some miles on it. Who did the great Phoenix on the trunk lid?

ok, the top is the original Hard top. I took lead from Dr Ruth and cut it to fit the roadster windshield. We stood the windshield a little straighter to allow the side windows to stay intact. We reshaped the front pillars and inside of roof to fit windshield. I used over center latches to connect. The front visor was just how the top hit, but gave it a really cool look.
the fenders and rear exhaust are from Lang. I took deliver of the car Sept 2009 and purchased those items from him early on. I borrowed many ideas from others on forum.
I built full console inside car, My body guy Ron Garrett built kick panels and smoothed out many parts of the body. He has done 100s of older vettes so he is a wiz with fiberglass work.
Local airbursh artist Paul Harrington did the trunk. He has an image of replica I wrecked hidden in the smoke and flames. He wants me to turn him loose on rest of car to add more. Haven't decided yet.
I bonded aluminum strips inside the top with rivnuts and used 1/8 hardboard to create a headliner that I had wrapped in vinyl to match door panels. It came out great. It just screws in with 8/32 stainless button heads. Attached my door panels the same way.
