Yes, that is what I thought when I see your pic. Remember me on a road at the Cote azure I drive once.
And yes, that was a expensive trip.

Côte d'azur en français.
That's great progress!
Finally! You’ve been very patient. Can’t wait to see it finished.
Looking good Wobdog!
Trunk Elephant Skin spacers were finally found and installed.
Several years ago,I discovered that the gap on the outer side of the rear wheel housings was covered with crescent-shaped elephant skin spacers. The right side of our USA cars has the vapor canister bracket that prevents a full spacer from fitting in the gap. I cut out the bracket and installed a right-side spacer I bought. Finding the left-side spacer was a little more difficult. Carlos dug into his 50-year supply of all things BMW and found the correct left-side spacer. I painted it with SEM Storm Gray and the gap is now filled.

Spend 20 hours to mount the 6 Celette brackets on 4 massive steel tube sections, trying to get them all centered, vertical and parallel.
I think i have them within 0,5mm of BMW's spec.
Now all that's left is to space them correctly on 2 long beams and fit 4 coaster wheels. (Another 20 hours?)

We drove Athena cross lots missing the Friday Tour & Meet & Greet Dinner. Made the most of Saturday, Sunday morning was breakfast. Stayed with friends for 2 days due to my continuing back problems. Drove to Pittsburgh for a Niece's Wedding October 19th.
Athena is safely below the hotel in the parking garage.
