For those with a LOT of free cash. A Delehaye in progress. Credit to my buddy Jared and his boss Al. They are building this tribute vehicle for a customer.  |

Ah,thanks,hated to break out my other pair of glasses You state this as being a tribute vehicle-is this made from scratch of from an entirely different vehicle? Or 1 Delehaye to look like another 'custom' Delehaye? |

This vehicle is being made completely by hand. If I recall correctly it uses a Jag drive train and . I am not positive what the frame is. Off hand I believe it's a Chevy truck. All the body parts are being hand formed in aluminum . As the customer car is being built they are also building an extra pf each panel to provide another vehicle to sell off.

I now have a burning urge to build a car. As if I didn't already have enough ideas floating around my head. |

I lost the address for the shop owners site. I'll get hold of my buddy and see if I can get that. There are a lot of WIP pics of this rig and others.

Depends on the client when they finish. He's one for making running changes in the build.

This question is going to sound stupid, but I'm going to ask it anyway. Are they going to paint it or will it stay the raw metal color a la John Delorean? |

UNDER a spreading chestnut tree
The village smithy stands;
The smith, a mighty man is he,
With large and sinewy hands;
And the muscles of his brawny arms
Are strong as iron bands.
His hair is crisp, and black, and long,
His face is like the tan;
His brow is wet with honest sweat,
He earns whate'er he can,
And looks the whole world in the face,
For he owes not any man.
Week in, week out, from morn till night,
You can hear his bellows blow;
You can hear him swing his heavy sledge
With measured beat and slow,
Like a sexton ringing the village bell,
When the evening sun is low.
