It may not be the most cutting edge protouring build, but it incorporates most of the componants and look that embody the idea of a protouring car. I built this car entirely in my garage over the last 2 1/2 years with simple handtools, and some simple fabricating. The body and paint was done by a good local restoration shop as I am not equipped, nor do I have the experience to get the look I wanted. It was built to a pretty high level of detail, for my eye anyway and the car is almost dead on, to my original vision. I am still tweaking it and getting a few things ironed out, but the damn thing is fun to drive. I just thought I'd share, as I'm pretty proud of my accomplishment. :D

This is something I dreamed about since I was a kid, so it's pretty surreal. Oh, and I'm still trying to figure out the "Stagecoach" reference.

I had to snap a pic of the initial spread as it wouldn't fit my scanner.....

Thank you all very much for all of the good comments.

The best type of approval, is positve feedback from your peers. It is an experience that I wish everybody could go through, it's pretty damn cool!!!

I am STILL buying parts for the car, so it is like the age old saying "It truely is NEVER done!!!" and being in the Midwest, the Winter Projects are waiting to be completed!!
