Thanks Andy,
Did I see you posting an inquiry for making up (or better sourcing) these things a little while ago? Was there some thing else (another item) along with the crest that you can share? Good stuff to know! Paul |

Indeed. A while ago I posted that I was going to have the original style of these crests made without the Barris name if the interest was high enough. I received no takers so the project was dropped. Most people said they didn't care about the crests.
I think Eric even asked George if he wanted the original style made so that he could sell them on his site but I'm guessing George wasn't interested, I never heard anything. Andy |

John Your car looks great; could we see more pictures of it?
It looks like it took less than five months for you to put the car together that is amazing!

Johnny, Johnny, Johnny,
That looks pretty "trick" for a backyard hack! Is your wife helping you? Very impressive, tell us how you managed to work around everything and achieve such good results? Paul |

Nice to see the bottom "J" curves added to the windshield posts. Most people ignore this detail and just flatten the underside of that area.
