356 style racer based on a Formula Vee

I saw this at the weekend.
It's an alloy hand beaten body over a Formula Vee chassis.

Wish I had more time to take a few more pics - will go back to the car meet next month and see if it's there again.
The young guy in the background with the white T was the owner / maker. Single (alloy) seater with a fly screen. Exposed rivets and some period decals. Soooo cool!

Inspirated on the Glockler Porsche. Mid engined racecar build just before Porsche introduced the 550.

Just read the build from start to finish Ron from your link. Very talented kid, although sounds like he has a few master craftsman watching is back. Excellent

Wow. I saw it in a sea of 356s, special porsches and other cars like Lamborghini Murcis and ferraris and this just shone out as special.
I darednt go near it as I though it was from the 40's but the owner said, go on let your son sit in it! I didn't for fear of damaging anything but not only super talented but a super nice guy too!
Thanks so much for the link, I've been trying to find out more about it on various forums!
