Interestingly, I have access to a factory 507 motor but decided to pass for several reasons. Zero experience with them, not sure on parts, and transmission adapters would be a nightmare. Not to mention the cost!
 Rear wheel tubs are in and the trunk floor is formed. Photos soon!!  Cheers Dave

Amongst the Jag distraction and finishing moving the folks, I found time to get the windshield frame done along with some trunk floor and rear wheel well forming.
The frame is bent to shape and bolted in place now, so I'll go back and finish the welds and modify the cowl body panel to get things wrapped up with that area. Up next will be door jambs. The window frame required a double lower frame that gets welded in place on the dash area and then the frame gets bolted to that. I'm using Apache Series truck hinges since they are pocket style and similar to the original. Next week more metal comes for the hood, trunk, and doors. With the window frame in it's really starting to look like a car! More to come.... Cheers Dave Last edited by A12pilot; 09-16-2022 at 01:37 AM.

Thanks guys! I just noticed that it’s looking eerily similar to the poster I put in the back. It’s serene…sirendip….
 saranwrap……destiny that I bought that poster and placed it right behind the car! Glad you’re enjoying to updates. Can’t wait for you all to see it next year. It’ll be like a hands on exhibit on the rotisserie. Hey, maybe we can make it like a prize wheel thing?  “Step right up and spin the Wheel of Fabrication! That’s right, everyone is a winner,,…until it falls off the twirler.”Cheers Dave

Dave, had the pleasure of seeing the elusive 507 just pulled from the garage in Philly. It was actually the second 507 I saw this past weekend but I’m not able to post pics of the first one. Enjoy! This is a 1 repaint survivor type.

That's my friend Albert's car. I'm headed up to Philly next week to see the one he owns being restored at a shop. I already went up there last year to take pictures of it. Him and his brother own three: a black one that sold at Hershey two years ago, the one being restored, and this blue one. Among other things, they have a bunch of 507 stuff too that I'll be browsing over.
He's intrigued by my project and loves the project updates I send him. Can't wait to get up there next week and get the more detailed photos I need of the door jambs and such for my car. The one being restored is in bare metal which makes for perfect structure photos. Windshield set in place. I just want to grab a glass of wine and look at it! Problem is, then nothing gets done. But sometimes you have to stop and smell the roses too!Cheers Dave

Do they use a true knock off wheel, Dave?
