Re: Not much left of the 1953.
The bodywork and interior aren't to my tastes, but they're nicely done.
But that sheet aluminum bottom screams MISSING FLOOR! And you'll notice the flat tin surrounding the engine, the lack of any heating arrangements and that horrible 'bridge beam' throttle linkage; you could repair that with a stick welder at 120Amps!
And "almost"; tons of money on the body and interior, but if you're going to do an outlaw, ya gotta finish it.

Why can't people do this to a kit car not a real 53!

Anyone remember this car from a prior East Coast Holiday-it was a "version" of Stone Grey at the time. Bonus points if you can name the famous owner!

A marriage of 356 and Chrysler Cordoba.
Did anyone happen to notice the torsion bar setup?
