CLUTCH : was all new when built , This is a Heavy Duty Clutch , meaning a real heavy Pedal ,

 I Have driven this car over 200 miles since I have owned it , and is real reliable , Starts good but the starter might need redoing , Every once in awhile it misses a start and free spins , maybe bad bendix return . But will always catch and start , This car drives real smooth on the freeway and is fast , might need  some fine tuning , like any car too run at its fastest .

Paint : The paint is fair for a driver has chips and scratches , but shows well for what it is . I buffed and polished it and took it too a local Goodguys Cars show , It get s lots of attentsion . Most peolpe can't tell it is not an original W-30 Car unless I tell them , The guy who built it did try too make the car look like a original car as much as possible . The  hood has some typical fiberglass stress cracks .

Also the removable One Piece Top Needs new Canvas Top . Due too being worn and torn in areas
