Hey Bill!
Funny you mention it, since I'm going to do an update this week with things. I should have the engine back in and a bunch of other things done. It should start to resemble a car again by Friday!  More to come..... Cheers  Dave

They came out with these right after I came up with the idea to build it. They’re pretty cool! Amazing some of the details they incorporated into it.
 That’s a great price too! Thanks Mark!  Cheers Dave

Been steadily making progress and improvements along the way. More details soon, but it's really moving along!
Today the engine went in. I decided to do some more small details to add more "authenticity" to my fake!   A carburetor drip pan was used that drained the fuel off the intake on the original BMW V8. Yes, that's correct. Leaky carbs? No problem. Just getcha one of them drip pans under it! I fabricated my own air cleaners to look close to the originally installed Knechts. Still a few more details to fix on those. With vacation coming up I should have the car back on the road by the end of the month or early next month. Far from the finishline, but its really coming together and I'm happy with the progress. More to come soon! Cheers Dave

Wow, looking great Dave. Can't wait to see it all buttoned up, but enjoying the updates.
