The Salerno Special

11 PART 2: THE BUILD THE BODY AND THE CHASSIS Note: Salvatore Salerno documented the build of his car from start to finish in a series of over 50 photos. Many of these photos are shown in Part 2 of this book. • On the left page are chassis photos. The Triumph chassis has been cleaned and painted with the engine and radiator shielding beginning to be built. Salvatore Salerno is shown in one of the photos—in his mid twenties. • The photos below show the Devin body—just a shell being positioned on the chassis. Once the initial fitting and support was complete, Salvatore moved on to body alterations and other features such as wheel wells, floor, cockpit, and firewall.
