That is an absolutely beautiful piece of work, the car and what you've done. I wish the whole world was full of as much ambition as you and some of the people on this site. Absolutely breathtaking.

GREAAAAAAT JOB!

Thanks Kevin! This means a lot coming from you!

I wish there were more pictures showing the in between steps. I know it is *magic* but even then the pictures just do not do justice to the amount of work and talent. I see Before and After but I really would love to see During pictures.

The chrome on the original one looked all rusted. Was it rechromed?

Sorry. I wish I had more pics but when I'm in the zone and working I just don't think about taking pics. I have a lot of others, but they are all before and after. I do plan to take more durring pics of the white Healey though.

The Chrome was not redone on this one. Close up pics will show some pitting from the surface rust that was on them. They do still look 100% better though.

Money is not an issue for the white one and I have all new chrome, interior, chrome wheels, tires sitting in the house.

You, sir, are ridiculous! Fantastic work

Thanks bro!

A couple of gorgeously restored examples sold at Barrett Jackson in West Palm Beach back in April for a bit over $100,000 each. These were both stunning examples, absolutely flawless in every way.

Nice!

What hurts the value of the red one is the fact that the motor is still original and doesn't look as nice as the rest of the car. The second one I'm doing has been rebuilt and painted...though I feel they could have done a better job on the painting. I'm sure he can still get $20-25K for the red one though.

Heck, someone wants $12.5k for this one!!!

That's alot of fluff! If I ever win the powerball I just may add one of these beauties to my list of cars to get. Again great job Rasky, I'm sure the detail alone added several thousand to the value!

LOL....we are all perfectionist around here!


Thanks Dawg!


Fully restored if seen them listed from $40k to $70K. I think he was hoping to get $20-$25k for the red one.

It must be an amazing feeling to be able to restore and detail a piece of history such as this car here.
