"Here is a little history.(tooting my own horne) I have been building custom cars for over 30 years, both real, and in scale. I have even done cars for movies and tv. In 1983 I built the copy of JFKs 61 contenental X100 that has been in every Kennedy related movie since then. In the late 80s I took a job at the tooling dept. of Wahoo boats and learned fiberglass construction etc. At that time i decided to build a master plug of the Lincoln Futura, as it has always been my favorite inanimate object! After making molds I built a Batmobile for a record producer who then put it on tv comercials for Ziebart w/ Adam West. I still have the molds but havent built a Futura yet. Early this year i decided i would build one offs of dream cars that are no longer existant. To do this I get every photo and known dimension  of the car I can and  do a set of 1/4 scale plans. This is where a little art background and understanding of automotive surface development comes in as I have to take in account that a perspective photo has to be used to create a "flat "image. I then loft the plans ,like building a boat and cunstruct a wood form that is covered with foam. In the case of the De mer I am using the form to male mold body panels as I want this to be a one off. I am also finishing up  the plans for the Chrysler Norseman and would like to do that after the Pontiac. I have also started working on the doner chassis for this car . I'm not sure whether I will use an original 55 Pontiac 287 or a chevy small block customised to look like the Pontiac?In any event I'm planning on building a super nice drivable "re-creation" and am calling on my skills as an artist,model maker,sculptor,hotrod builder and general car nut! best regards Marty Martino , Gum Spring Va.  P. S. keep up the great work on the Huff report, its dynamite!"
