Pictured is the engine, and completed frame work. I made a tempory dash board to check the engine operation while test driving the frame by driving it around the neighborhood.

The wood in the body has been replaced by new oak. Dave McDowell cut and shaped all the wood.

This car was purchased in Cupertino, Ca. in 1968. It arrived home in boxes. With blue poster paint after assembly, it made it to the first PBAC meet in Pasadena, Ca. Note decal in windshield. It showed up with Charlie Mews 1931 Austin roadster in the Redwood City 4th July Parade around the same time.
