Dave, you do realize that you have created an actual 1:1 scale Transformer? It converts from a BMW into a cooking stove.
You are truly one the immortals that Budweiser classified as the "Real Men of Genius". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsC3...nnel=zatoblade

Wow, thank you for the compliment!
 53 miles on it so far and nothing catastrophic, so that's good. All on track for disassembly later this month in preps for paint!  More to come!! Cheers Dave

Everything stock and correct inside and the door panels are 100% stock. Window handles, door actuators are correct too. The large black thing in the middle of the dash is the speaker grille/ cover.
Cheers Dave

No sale again at $1.4m. This isn't the venue for these cars and the bad part is that this one now has the stigma of a boomerang auction lot. Just keeps circling back. Too bad.
Cheers Dave

There's 100 miles on the car now, and luckily, only minor items that needed fixing. I turned my attention to the front bumper which I needed to shorten up since it was way too wide. I did that to the back bumper which required about 6" to be taken out. The front needed 8 total. This now fits correctly.
This week I'll install my 2x2 intake and once I know it's running correctly, the disassembly will start for paint and a few other things I still need to fab on. The grille openings need to be massaged to fit the real parts, then all the trim heads to the chrome shop. I'm in talks with a custom wheel maker to have a set of polished aluminum wheels made. Design will be like the Rudge, but a heck of a lot lighter. More to come! Cheers Dave
