Welcome to the Prototype Fascination Restoration Photo Gallery. Enjoy the pictures
as you watch the prototype being restored. The car was originally designed
with a propeller. In a road test, that propeller became a problem, so the
design was changed and a Volkswagen engine was installed. The tails were
cut off so the car could be stored. So the first thing that had to be done
was the tails had to be reattached. After that, you follow the stages as
the car neared completion.
