<br class="">That roadster factory link doesn’t work, in fact none of the backdoor links I tried work either. Perhaps their server is down. I’m painfully interested, that sounds like a fun project, unfortunately, like you, I have a lot of fun projects.

<div class="" dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">I'm forced to admit failure in my attempt to get the Fornwalt project resurrected that I picked up from TRF a couple of years ago. Albert was kind enough to pass it on to me for free as long as I promised to pursue finishing the car, and I would like to do the same for someone capable of finishing the project. All I ask is a chance to buy one of the bodies if you complete the project.</div>

<div class="" dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">--Mr. Fornwalt (I know some of you knew him well) was a TR4 vintage racer who wanted an Aston Martin DBR and decided to build his own body to fit a TR4 chassis.</div>
<div class="" dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">--The body buck (male form) was completed, and the molds (female form) have been done for the front end, doors and hood. The rear was not started.</div>
<div class="" dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">--The buck is very high-quality work, done out of wood and plaster, and is formed over a "junk" rolling TR4 frame with engine and transmission. I was told the components were worthless apart from sizing but have not verified that. As the male buck was stored in the TRF warehouse for many years it has some very small, localized "bruises" that will need to be smoothed out with body filler prior to creating the female rear mold.</div>
<div class="" dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">--Mr. Fornwalt's widow had no interest in the project after his untimely death and passed the project on to Charles at TRF. After Charles' death, Albert was cleaning things up and offered it to interested parties -- and I was (and am) interested. However, I have to face facts and I'm not going to get to it any time soon -- the TR6 street car, TR6 race car, Italia and my Hathaway Hunter are all ahead of it in line.</div>
