Tom's Photo Album

Here is a beauty shot taken about a year later (~1978), soon after completion. It was an interesting looking sports car that got a bit of attention when I drove it. But the 1970's was a decade of kit built cars, so not really all that unusual for the era.

It was a fair-weather vehicle because it had an open T-Top roof. Getting in and out required stepping over the doors.

It was fun to drive and quickly accelerated because it was quite light. But not a great everyday driver because I felt every bump in the road.

It wasn't long after finishing the project that I decided to buy my first house. So my little sports car was sold to help fund the down payment. I think I got about $2,000 for it. In 1978 that price seemed like a good deal to me. BTW, the house I bought was only $29,950.
