These two photos were taken with a Kodak DC-20 camera. As you can see, the car really does have fins. And, quite a rear overhang too. It's the only thing I've ever driven where you can see the tail lights in the rear view mirror. But the tri-power makes it pretty fast. |

Well, it's now 2002 and the car is progressing slowly.
Very slowly. The engine is done, the body is back on the frame, but
there is a lot of woodwork to be done before I can remount the doors and
do the interior . In fact, it's sat so long there are some cracks in
the paint that will need to be repaired. But some day it will be on
the road. The question is, "When?".

| This photo shows the "after" view, I've replaced the
rear door support and the dogleg, this is, as you might imagine a bit
of a chore, it requires removing the rear window frame (half of which has
been reinstalled in this photo), removing the sheet metal covers
over the door support and dogleg, getting the old rotten wood out,
cleaning up the metal and priming to protect it, and then fighting to get
the new pieces of wood into the dogleg and behind the welded vertical bracket. Clearly there was no intent at the time that this would be
a routine operation.
