Jon - you have some ambitious projects going on. If you can, will you share the body number and build date. If you can't, I understand ... I've been working on a timeline of Pre-A vins and production dates ...

Ambitious project. Bob Raucher once said that the body on his Gmund coupe #17 was so lumpy it looked like a bag of walnuts. Looks like this car is close to that.
