Sure did Tim, in's somewere it the shrine to I've got an idea, I wonder if this would work, I can fix that, the tinkerers retreat.
Mick I'd love to see a pic or two of your car. I'd heard about it but never seen it.

what a story and what a car, it really looks like a story from a big US custom showcar and the end result, it looks like a barely survived custom abandoned in the muscle car era, its so sad to see it there yet at the same time it looks so good there, i love the stages and changes over the years and i reckon this story would make a nice little book or magazine article, i think i have seen pics of this car, was it ever in any early newsledder magazines?
so whats on the cards, convertable or do you want to keep the 58 impala scoop, or is it there to stay.
i have done some custom work on my FC, with the hours that go in to restyling parts of the car you just hope no body will ever bump into it, its not like you can just get another panel of ebay and throw it on..
