If I remember correctly, the limo is just simply a roadster with a bucket seat bracket that can be added in back. So you actually have a gray roadster on order with bonus parts. Perhaps it's a vintage Mercedes Benz?

I zoomed the Limo photo even more, from a manufacturer view it makes a Lot of sense if the Limo "kit" is really a grey Roadster with these additional parts:

Removing sunshade overhead canopy top

Rear seat (identical to front seat)

Brass windscreen frame

Wedge shaped tin rear seat mount.

That's it!!

(If) just by leaving the "wedge" shape rear seat base off...if there is standard "sloped" back Roadster tin underneath...THAT may change my game plan! In my heart I just really want to build a "Hotrod" Roadster...however the Truck "build" is to much fun to abandon completely, I think I will save all the limo "bonus" parts, and if I get the Roadster running well without big headaches, then source a second unit for the Truck build....I suppose with a bit of work I could convert to a Truck with ease, but I would paint a Truck very differently from a Roadster and likely gear the Truck for low speed Power and the Roadster for high speed motoring.
  I am Very eager to view kit parts....thanks for sharing CBWho!
