My name is Bobby Nunes. I owned Pristine Auto Body in San Luis
Obispo for 40 years. I rebuilt "Leg Show" T in 1989. The original
"Leg Show" T was sold in the mid '70's, ended up in
Illinois in 1989. I crack myself up for jumping guys!!

TRADITIONAL. There's nothing more traditional than a BEAUTIFUL fully
polished Jag rear-end, twisting and shimmering in the wind from the
'60's and 70's. There were only a handful in the '60's. The
cornerstone has always been buggy springs-- Model A and Model T.
They didn't ride well or work well.
It was scheduled to go to
Oakland in 1994 and was in promoter's brochure for AMERICA'S MOST
BEAUTIFUL ROADSTER award. I decided not to go and the car looked
just as shown. Danny's "LEG SHOW" T was featured in ROD AND CUSTOM,
COVER CAR, January 1971.
IT HASN'T BEEN SEEN OR SHOWN SINCE THE 70's.

LIKE A VERY EXPENSIVE MOTORCYCLE, everything is either polished
stainless steel, aluminum, chrome, or brass--every bolt, nut, and
washer. Every part underneath car is exquisitely detailed to
absolute perfection. Words cannot describe the elegance and masterful
craftsmanship, precision machine work-- which was done by myself and
machinist friends of mine. |

Cut
glass on windshield, floral design, one-of-a-kind. I bought a
new 327 Corvette engine, 375 horse. I added polished aluminum
heads. I polished and ground smooth the block. THE UPHOLSTERY
WAS DONE IN DARK CHAMPAGNE MOHAIR ,CANDY-APPLE PURPLE PAINT,
Same as the body and frame, rear- end center section ground
smooth candy paint also, 2-speed B and M power glide polished
transmission. Rear-end Jag mark 10-- completely chromed and
polished. Also, quick change center section, custom Buick wire
wheels, rear 12-inch, front-end torsion bar, machined
fabricated, all front suspension, including frame, parts of jag
rear, headlight brackets, radius rods, steering arm, washer and
bolts, handmade stainless steel steering wheel, all machined and
custom made. Original '09 headlights and taillight. { '09 BODY
IS A WORK OF ART.}
Brass battery box and 6 1/2 inch brass radiator. Air scoop,
mirrors, and gas tank--- all OCTAGON, --- ONE-OF-A-KIND ART AND
CANNOT BE DUPLICATED. |

Mike, Life is about
karma. Before you dig a grave for someone else, dig
one for yourself.
You lost your site because you are an idiot. You have
done this to yourself.
