Roof repair was significant... F'ing cancer... Cameron at Volksfab is an OG surgeon. Driver's side roof corner sectioned in from a donor.

By now it was July 2012, had the DCab shipped to Texas in the move, out of funds, patience, time, and left my network behind...

Put her back together, started sourcing the missing parts, and enjoyed the progress for a few years...

Correct bumpers, sourced fuel dividers, correct apron, gauges back in.

New Year resolution -2014- to get moving on the project again. It has been a blast to be out driving the DC again.

Hoops / Bows / Tilt installed (garage height 6 inches lower), Derek Gregg, Busware, Ken Hippensteel. All three vendors are top notch.

Hurst shifter that was in the DC when I got it. Restored by "Glandnut."

Pictures don't do the quality justice, better than what you can buy new!!

(Yes, I opted for black powder coat.)

Installed. Found a vendor who cut a spare key for my working Neiman Steering Lock also...
