This thing is beautiful. Truly a work of art.
One thing I want to ask. You have put so much work into making the body metal. Why not go all the way and create a split dash? |

Thank you for the compliment!
Actually it was not a matter of going all the way. Beleave me when I say we went "all the way" on this car.
The car is a 53. Not only is that the correct dash for a 53, it is a very rare dash that was produced in a vary narrow window of 53. Every part of this car (the pan, body, dash, transaxle, and even wheels) are all matching numbers right down to a specific month, week, and day of construction. |

Oh. I understand the concept.
Can we see pictures of the production? or is it a trade secret? |

For that money IŽd buy an original.
(Beside that I never could spend that much for a car.)

| To put this car in context I remember a few years back there was a beautiful Auburn boat tail speedster at the Pebble Beach Concours. I found out later that the car had begun life as a four door sedan and everything from the cowl back was less than 6 months old. I wonder if the same person that owned the Auburn bought it. |

Interesting going back and reading this thread, now 4 years old since the core of the discussion. All of the commentary and speculation.
So what happened? One car was built, it was Roger's? It was in the classified's for a couple years maybe, last posting at $99k? Are/have any more been built?
Just wondering....

Yes, more are built. I know a couple. Roger made at least another one. I know at least one in the States, one in the North of europe, and a couple in the home land Germany. I also know a couple of potentional buyers. And a lot of people who want one.....but due to the wrong color did not order one.

I know of one being built here in SoCal, and it will be far nicer than Rodger's IMO.
