How do you "accidentally" scoop up an entire D8 Cat???!!!
I know the Krupp is big, but a D8 isn't exactly invisible.

Yep, his only example in Detroit. Long vacant and recently purchased for (the rumored) sum of 400-500k.

Fit check. The pictures are deceiving.
The only parts that are welded are the floor pan, center tunnel, longitudinals, rear shock cross member, rear engine mounts/cross member, and the forward firewall and it's components. All the rest is just clamped in position. The front clip is all that is left of the original car after a severe hit in the rear by a drunken corvette driver. Many years in the build, and the '73 RSR clone if finally coming together.

Sure would like to get a hold of the factory windshield, rear windshield, and pop-out window templates. Anybody know of a set?

That's not a "bug" it's a "feature".

I was going to post that it looked like you were building a new car from scratch from new parts except the front fenders. I was going to post that as a joke. I guess I'd have been pretty much right on. Too much work for me. I'd have had to just get a new car rather than try to rebuild one from the fenders.

Reminds me of the paleontologists that build a dinosaur from one tiny bone that they found.

Yep, building a new car from the front clip back. I probably should have abandoned this project long ago, and just gotten another car. But I kept getting the parts to rebuild the wreck and it is finally getting built.
