Naaah, it was’t THAT long ago. Pearl’s body was bought (in black gel) in 1993, but I had to add on to the garage for room to build her, so the real build started in 1994, finishing in 2001. Chris would have just gotten to high school when it started? He graduated college in 1999 and I got it on the road in 2001.
The photo above was the red, Speedster #2 build in Beaufort, so that would have been 2010-ish? The poster on the door was a low-res, slightly fuzzy “first try” on the Staples wide-format printer. Later ones were much better quality.
Dan - you must have gotten that poster from the raffle. There were three slightly different ones. I forgot I made that one! I just remember that in order to get the photos crisp I had to create it in hi-def, the file was around 700 MB and saving it to a thumb drive took about five minutes on my old Mac. There was a Lane-build-specific one, a broader Carlisle one (Dan’s) and a Chris specific one for the build that became a Christmas present. I must still have the files someplace.....
