[DML] Re: The New Owner Of Proto 1 is.......

That is totally cool, and I wish you the best of luck! Especially on a car that I thought was 
supposed to have been destroyed along time ago...

Any chance that durring the process of your restoration, we can see some in depth photos 
of some of this car's engineering aspects? In particular, I've always wondered about how 
Bill Collins wanted to mount the sub frames to the underbody. Are they simply bolted to 
tthe underbody, or are there any steel supports that were supposed to have been moulded 
in? (like the spider cage on tthe production car)

Good luck, and congratulations! I look forward to seeing this car in person in a few 
months!
