Reply to "Speedster project 50"

Speedster project # 50 update: Body is bolted on the chassis, caulked and sealed, column installed and windshield was dry fitted leaving the bottom aluminum cowl strip in place . OK  I have changed my mind from the Outlaw build. …. to better appeal to a larger market it will be a classic Speedster in Porsche Seal Grey, black carpet and a nice shade of red seats and door panels.   I still use my painter Tom in PA because he is crazy reasonable and does a two week turn around.  Snow forecast here is for 5" - 8" so to get there and back before the snow ..I was up at 4AM and on the road by 5AM dragging the Speedster with a VW tow bar for the first two hours in thick fog on a single lane mountainous road then a constant 75 mph on the interstate to PA. a minor 9 hour - 420 mile round trip saved me over half the other painters quoted me here. While the car is at paint I'll do final assembly on the fresh engine and a lot of misc. prepping Then I get to do another long day to go get it with a trailer.
