If you\u2019ve been following the build on Bill Evans\u2019 coupe, you saw in our last post<\/strong><\/a> that we\u2019d progressed into the trunk area with fabrication of the trunk\u2019s aluminum side and rear panels. The cockpit of the car, originally designed by Chip Foose, features broad, swooping expanses of brushed aluminum, trimmed with leather inserts. (You\u2019ll find several photos of the interior metalwork here<\/strong><\/a>). The same motif carries into the trunk. Follow along\u00a0 as Gary hammers out and welds up these panels.

The body of the car is vintage fiberglass from Poliform<\/em> and is, as you can see from our earlier posts, heavily modified. Unfortunately, much of the work was left rough. It\u2019s taken a good deal of labor and a lot of itching but the aluminum-to-fiberglass fit is coming together.

Although not nearly as photogenic, we\u2019ve made a lot of progress on the wiring, too. We\u2019re close to conquering the snake farm that energizes the coupe\u2019s audio visual system\/computers\/back-up camera\/GPS\/remote controls\/etc, etc. Check back in, we\u2019ll keep you posted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
