Very Beginning of the 60 Starliner

[Jim-W]

Fantastic build! Look forward to following your progress. Best of luck on the air cleaner lid, I’ve only seen 1 of these in the past 30 years. Hopefully someone will come up with one for this well deserving project!

+1 Mike.  That's going to be a lovely car!

Thanks everyone!

Jim, yes I'm still hunting the air cleaner lid. I have a "61-62" hipo lid. I've gone back and forth with quite a few people about the air cleaner lid situation on these cars and I'm starting to believe that quite a few 60's actually left the factory with the later style lid. I talked to a guy at Carlisle that owned a '60 hipo and it had been in his family since new, it had the later style lid on it. We're going to put the "61-62" lid on it and not sweat it too much, if a 60 style lid ever lands in my lap we will put it on. I know where about 5 of them are.....but nobody wants to part ways with them.

That's a well thought out way to brace the body without tack welding in a bunch of junk.

Can't wait to see the final progression on this car. It should be stunning.

We have the car back in our possession now. It's been a long time coming between metal work and paint. We're getting the rolling chassis going now, more updates coming soon-ish.

Nice

I added a page on our website to document this project and get all pictures in one place. If you'd like to take a look, here's the link:
