Not yet. This project was picked up recently by the publisher/editor of Classic Motorsports magazine and
recently discussed on their online forum:

I'm shocked they would take on that car as a restoration project. The engine and Trans are worth what ever they paid for it, but the rest of the car will take a huge amount of labor and parts to complete. Will be interesting to watch.

Quite an adventure in the making...they just vacuumed up all the valuable fiberglass bits that they need to jigsaw puzzle back together..lol

May be better off starting with a new body and more than likely frame. Will be interesting to watch how it comes together.

A bent axle? :roll:

I bet he hoovered up loads of small crucial parts made of unobtanium.

Like my model T loving neighbor says, "If it's made out of metal you can fix it" Substitute fiberglass for steel and you get the idea.
