This is a concept car in the neoclassic style designed by owner Leroy Cox. These photos show the creation of a temporary wooden "buck" to establish the shape of the body. The wires are added to designate a crease in the fenders, wheel well openings and the edges of the body panel.
These photos show the fabrication of the actual aluminum "skin" over the wooden buck. After the body skin is completed the buck is removed and replaced with a tubular steel cage that the skin is riveted to or "trapped" on. The drive train will consist of a Chevrolet LS6 engine, Tremec 6 speed transmission and late model Corvette independent transmission.
The first two photos show the fabrication of the deck lid. The three bottom photos from the left show the fabrication of the spare tire tub, the carrier and installation. The last photo shows the fabrication of the steel tubing for the trunk lid.
The photo top left shows the doorjam modification. The photo top right shows modifications to the door sill and the transmission tunnel. The bottom left photo shows the firewall being modified. The two middle photos show the wheelhouse being lengthened. The last photo on the bottom shows the fabrication of a custom rollbar.
The photo on the left shows the engine detail and the photo on the right shows the new location of the emergency brake. The two photos on the bottom left show the fabrication of the rear motor mount and its completion. The bottom third photo shows the locating of the engine in the chassis.

The photo on the left shows the installation of the custom gas tank. The photo on the right shows the creation of rear storage compartments. The photo bottom left shows the beginning of the door panel mockup. The last three photos show the near completion of the rear clip, the mockup of the nose and the fuel fill tube being fabricated.
