I thought I posted this before, I guess not!
Anyway this is the restoration of a Howmet Turbine TX.

I could only wish for a virgin kit. Haha What I started with.

As you can see It's missing quite a bit. But, thanks to the re-issue of the Can-Am, (the roadster version of this car), I have most of the parts needed to restore this car.

Well I got it apart!!!

The rebuild has begun.

At least it's some progress, A good start I think.

I think I know why you don't see many of these, they do try one's patience. The front suspension was very finicky. I had to trim the front wheel openings so the body would fit the chassis correctly.

Still a ways to go!

Thanks for the support on this one.
The windows were glued in pretty good, (luckily they didn't scrape the chrome off the underside of the roof). I cut the down to 3 pieces and now they fit better.
