Outstanding Rob, best of luck with it! I’ve seen a few Gelscoe 40s up close, they are superb.

"Don Hoevel will be putting it all together" - does this mean it is shipping as a rolling chassis rather than a compete car ? Is that typical with Gelscoe ? And finally will your car be finished as a particular tribute to an original or just as your own treat ? TIA

yes Gelscoe is shipping a rolling Chassis, they will build what you want but I thought having the Gurney Westlake motor built state side was a better option. Cobra Automotive is building the Gurney Westlake Motor.

also noted that before the fire 1078 chassis was one of I think 7, light weight aluminum roof chassis. So Gelscoe 1078/R is made with a light weight aluminum roof as well.
