WOW!
You sure do awesome work Larry. Beautiful job splicing the sheetmetal. Also,
that sure is encouraging to the rest of us that almost anything is posible to
reconstruct on a Healey.
My friend Karl found a 1960 Healey 3000 in southern Iowa four years ago and it
was in about the same shape. No drivetrain, no carbs, no exhaust, no
interrior, no glass, super rusty frame that did not break in half but was very
close. However, the body panels were in good shape. It was still a deal for
$500. Karl built new frame rails and attached the front and rear scuttles,
outriggers, X- brace, door pillars etc. Well, $20,000 later and it should be
on the road next year.
