So...... the long awaited answer The Zwitter will ride again. All of the issues with the body have been fixed, correctly this time, and the car is currently painted. Here are some pictures of it in primer. I will have some painted pictures shortly. It will be on a full tube chassis with a CB Performance 2005cc engine. So that means the 52 chassis(believe it or not it was on a 52 chassis), 52 front seats and the (Mr Okrasa) Joe Ruiz built December 1952 engine will all be sold off.

You should contact him directly, he is not guaranteed to see some random Forum post.

Note: This goes for everyone that does this sort of thing.
If you want to know if a store sells something, do you put a sign in their parking lot or do you go into the store and ask? Smile

Kind of confirms that this car was a rusty Zwitter that someone pieced back together using an oval body as a donor. Very poorly.

So the owner that paid $70K for it, did they lose about $60K on the deal?

From what I heard from the guy that discovered the disaster build, the owner did not proceed legally but he still is a POS
