After collecting parts for 4 years, upon my retirement in 1989, began assembly. Within 9 months and almost finished, 1st entered in the Vancouver Motorsport Indoor Show in Vancouver, BC. and won Best Open and Best in Class.
The 1st ‘driven to show’ was the Goodguys Nats in Puyallup, Wa. A regular year-round driver, the car is now 15 years old, has logged over 35,000miles and never been towed.
To get started, the Gibbons glass body, original ’34 frame, TCI 4 bar front suspension and a few small parts were purchased from a friend in North Vancouver, the fenders, top irons, top bows and windshield came from Vintique Parts in Tacoma,Wa. Trips to the Portland Swap, Turlock, Ca. and several other coastal swaps netted a lot more new and used parts.
