Will it be painted or polished when finished David?

We sold two frame and bodies to customers in Europe. They will be painted by them. We only sold the frames and bodies to them, but we will not do that in the future. Ongoing sales will be of completed rollers. All chassis are the original 3" tubes for a leaf spring suspension. Suspensions are as original with tubular type control arms. Most customers will probably opt for the upgraded Wilwood brakes and calipers.

This is an adjustable pedal box. This will allow the customer to put the box where he needs it.
The pedal box will then be made without all of the slots and will just bolt in.
CSX2299 and I believe CSX2300 had removable pedal boxes.




The dash. Customer is going to outfit his own gauges.

Fitting the brace for the headlight bucket. The original coupes vary quite a bit in this detail


Back side of the oil access door. This door allows the dip stick to be checked and oil added to the engine
with out having to open the bonnet.

Passenger side foot box. Cut out is for the battery.




This is the part of the belly pan that covers the diff. The three holes at the bottom are for quarter turn fasteners that attach the belly pan to the rear diffuser.

Main portion of the belly pan. This is the bottom side, or the part you would see if you were looking under the car.


This is the other side of the belly pan. The two little pieces that are riveted on are to direct air into and out of the diff cooler.
The diff cooler sits just below the drive shaft.


Front portion of the belly pan. The scoop is for additional air to the radiator.

Still saving the last set of 48IDA Webers for a "Kirkham Coupe" Now if this "Brave New World" thang would pass in November and construction will get back going I can buy the rest.
What a car!!!
