Lettering finished. I will try to roll it out in the sun and get some more pictures. I think it came out ok.

Come out ok? You are selling yourself way short. You have created a beautiful master piece. So many of us are in absolute awe. Its a master piece! Its a once in a life time build and you are lucky enough to be the one building it. History has already happened but you are literally bringing a small part back to tangible life. Nothing could be more exciting from my standpoint.

This car needs to make a pass at the 2023 Pomona Winternats as a 60 year anniversary and tribute to Hayden Proffit.

Well the car is for sale.

It’s with much regret that I have had to sell the car… if it does ever make a pass down the strip it will be with someone else driving. Thanks to all who have helped and supported me in this endeavor.

That cardboard looks like the floor to my dads shop.

Great job on the model. I was looking for that model kit and found it in Hobby Lobby. wow the kits are expensive now 30.00 . I think I used to pay 3 or 4 something back in the later 70s,

On the home stretch, glass engine and decal install and Evan bound.

The new owner of the HP car has been keeping me updated on its progress. Sent me a picture from a racers reunion meet today where they inducted the car into their “hall of fame”

The car is 90% done… still needs a few little bits to be running but otherwise it came out great. Definitely bittersweet but I’m happy he is finishing the car for people to enjoy.

I plan to post photos showing the progress from the time I picked the car up from Evan till present. I will begin tomorrow if possible. This is when it arrived at its new home in Georgia.
