Guys, check it out!!
I finally got contact with the old owner of the oval 
It's a funny story !
Especially the part of the front seat 
Here's what he wrote:
Hello!!
Sorry to say but I must have my old oval back!!
Oh no, just joking
Thank you for the mail and the pictures. I am very happy to see the car
again, in almost the same shape that it was when i sold it.
I have been a little bit worried that it hade been "chopped up" and sold in pieces, but now I feel great again !
Some old facts... The original cars that "the greyone" has been put together of was a late '55 and a '58. I bougt the '55 as a sleeping project that was pact down in boxes as a 1000 pieces puzzle.
You can allmost had called it as a barnfind. It had been put out of the roads in 1968 and then just standing still untill the late 90´s. I found it 2001. The puttogether mission started in April 2004.
It all started with a friend who had a '58 with a very bad body but a great chassi with narrowed beam, new breaks and four Centerline copies on. And it all was for sale....... At first I built it as an ratlook and showed it on Bug Run 2004.
But after a little while the hotrodder in me took over and other wings was put on and a black primer sprayed on, unsuccesfuly. That is wy its black inside.
PANIC IN MY GARAGE! No more black paint left... So that is how it became grey.
The scallops on the frontwings is a fast repair of my bad trying pinstriping.
**By the way, the original driverseat has been missing for many years now. The old man that put the car away took the seat too the forrest, to sit on while he was hunting elk. Some story...But its true!
Keep up the good work!

Happy Birthday Le-Ohn!
Weet je waar jij nu een beetje op lijkt?
Een feestvarken! Een feestvarken!
Weet je wat ik zie als ik naar je kijk?
Een feestvarken! Een feestvarken!
Vol met gekke streken
En met een lieve lach
Ja, zo'n prettig dier
Vol met feestplezier
En jij kwam op de wereld
Op deze mooie dag!
Oo-hoo! A-ha!
Happy birthday!
Happy birthday to
You-hoo! A-ha!
Happy birthday!
Happy birthday!
Jij bent jarig en dat hou ik niet stil!
Wat dacht je nou? Wat dacht je nou?
[...euhm, ja... dus]
Jij mag alles met me doen wat je wilt
Ik ben van jou! Ik ben van jou!
[/...euhm, ja... dus]
Ooit pak ik mezelf nog
Van kop tot tenen in
Met wat goudpapier
En met een grote strik
Want niemand houdt zoveel
Van jouw gekke snoet als ik
Refrein
Happy birthday! Happy birthday!
Ik wens je een gelukkige verjaardag
Een gelukkige verjaardag!
Een gelukkige verjaardag
Voor jou!

oke!
You guys aren't making any progress, so her's what I've been up to last week
Bought another car...........a 412LS !
And we're building a new engine for the '66, because the engine that we have will leave his last breath any moment now
In between, I'm working on Joop's bus to earn some goodies !
Mounted a set of OG safari''s, and next week we will start on his 1600 with dual 36 Webers
