Restoration and Coachwork

Information on: Spirit of America ' Sonic Arrow '

I was involved with specialist panel work for Craig Breedlove. ' Sonic Arrow ' is his latest car for an attempt on the Land Speed record. (after he crashed at over 600 MPH!)

Although Craig lost the 'race' with Thrust SSC to be the first 'car' to break the sound barrier he still aims to be the first past 800 MPH!. (this photo was taken by another of the 'Brits' on the team Phil Goss at the Black Rock desert in 1997).

This photo shows me working at Craig's workshop in Rio Vista California. It’s a tough life but someone's got to do it !.

 I made new double curvature panelwork and rear airfoil stabilisers.

Also a detail of the business end'.
