Space Coupe started in 1963 so had the Mach5 designers known in the 1980’s about the SC they may have copied some the design features but I doubt that ever happened.
This is my mind at night. Terrible visions and entities haunt my field of view, constantly changing shapes and molecular structures inside their bodies, its a constant state of fear.
Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam ." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window ? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?
I would love to have this man direct me to anywhere he would want me to do ,go or be for that matter. The man is a perfectionist which such professionalism its beyond belief. ❤❤❤❤
I understand. Working with Johnny was one of the highlights of my 40+ year career in film production. He was a delight and I was fortunate to spend so much time with him. Months we spent prepping before we ever started filming, drinking beers in the pool of a desert hotel, in the van for hours, for days scouting locations. It was hot as hell but it was a blast.
Me too! I started on this project in 2008 and we were supposed to have it ready to show in Spring 2009!!! Ha ha. What a long strange trip its been. But god willing and the creek don’t rise we’ll be showing it for the first time this year. Stay tuned.
It's a trip. These days, late 70's early 80's were chockablock with adventures and characters and these many years later - decades actually - to be in touch with fellow artists from that time is encouraging. Thanks for asking
@@BarryGremillion no art project is ever completed. Only abandoned. :) (I'm converting as junker Tesla into a Victorian Tea Parlor. :) Hope to "complete" that one day too! Lol)
Glad you enjoyed it Gary. If you want more info on this historic restoration project check out Pt 1 which gives you bit more history of this project and Pt 3 gets closer to where we are currently. Hopefully we'll be completing the restoration this year and showing the car. Stay tuned
So very cool. The whole crew should be really proud because the rest of us are. The way of conceiving a concept of capturing the audience to be honest and engaging in the emotions is stunning and the result of being with you all is well just absolutely gorgeous! OMJ
Hey David - they were made of plexiglass. Compared to the modern technology we have today to create these bubbles, back in the day - the 1960's they had to make due - Darryl Starbird told me and showed me some of the grass roots techniques they used - and he was the king of bubble tops.
Johnny is such a superb actor, and director! and a beautiful beautiful man. I love love love love love him. Thanks very very much for this. A beautiful fabulous film. 🌸💗💓💐💓
Thanks for interviewing Daryl and Gene. I remember seeing their cars in the car magazines in the early 60s, and wanting to do something similar. Best of luck with the Space Coupe.
Clearly a labor of love, and a great testimony to the greatest era in car customizing, using the techniques used at the time. When I was a kid in the early 60s, the Silhouette was my favorite custom, and I carefully built the plastic model. I only became aware of the Space Coupe much later, in the early 2000s, when I was using the internet to see what happened to some of the things I cared about when I was a kid. It is amazing that you were able to notice the Space Coupe components so long after it went missing. Now if you or someone else could find out what happened to the Silhouette since it was stolen in the early 80s.
We call them bat wing doors as gull wings hinge from the roof while these totally unique doors hinge behind the drivers head and when they close they wrap around the cockpit. Updates are on IG #projectspacecoupe
