He mentioned that he had purchased a car and was picking it up, and would like to stop by on the way home and see the shop- plus pick up some larger panels to save on shipping.<\/p>\n<p>We knew he would be coming around 1:00, and eventually, Brent said, &#8220;Hey &#8211; I think your guy is here.&#8221;\u00a0 I looked up, and saw the mess below, and just kind of instinctively blurted out, &#8220;Oh YEAH!!!&#8221;\u00a0 Then quickly wandered over to meet him, extending my hand and at the same time saying, &#8220;This is my kind of junk!!!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This is a 1964 E-Type Fixed-Head Coupe that has certainly seen better days&#8230;\u00a0 BUT &#8211; it is numbers matching and complete.\u00a0 And like me, he realizes that everything is restorable if you have the time and patience!\u00a0 So for those of you out there who see the photos of the pristine metalwork being turned out here, and wish your car was that nice (and I&#8217;m one of those &#8211; my &#8217;63 has some &#8220;interesting&#8221; repairs on it from my youth&#8230;) &#8211; take a look at this to make yourself feel better!<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-7218 gallery-columns-1 gallery-size-large'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.monocoque-metalworks.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/DSC_09501.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"244\" src=\"https:\/\/www.monocoque-metalworks.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/DSC_09501-1024x391.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-7220\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.monocoque-metalworks.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/DSC_09501-1024x391.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.monocoque-metalworks.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/DSC_09501-150x57.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.monocoque-metalworks.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/DSC_09501-300x114.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-7220'>\n\t\t\t\tIt looks like she has been outside for quite some time, and her &#8220;back is broken&#8221;&#8230;
