@JackCrosby - I appreciate your observations and totally agree!
- the reflectors are ‘optioned’, and like sway bars, I thought it best to just go ahead and add them during the build.
- totally agree regarding the rubber mountings (gaskets) , and as I think I mentioned earlier I added the rubber gaskets for the engine grill and horn grills after delivery (seem to make it look more ‘finished’, maybe?). Had to swap out the short threaded studs in the horn grills for longer ones to account for the added depth, but no biggie.
- the brake is under the dash to left of the steering wheel. I think that you can maybe make it out in one of the closeup pics. Unfortunately, the handle is black, and as WNGD pointed out, a proper chromed or stainless handle will be a nice touch.
@Jethro I ordered, then deleted, a radio for that very reason. Plus, the symphonic sound of the flat four is just something that I can’t get enough of!
Lots of smiles, lots of waves and ‘thumbs up’, a muscle car maniac neighbor made it a point to come over to tell me that every time he hears me drive by he “can’t help but smile” (how awesome is THAT???), and at the local coffee place a dude with a brand new Ferrari couldn’t stop talking about the little Speedster!! Priceless!
Thanks everyone!
