After working on it for about 8 years I have finished my Speedster, and I thought I'd share it. It has a 1911cc Type 4 (914) engine, and 5-speed gearbox (also Porsche 914). It is very much inspired by Rod Emory’s creations..... but my main goal was to recreate an old racer, not so much recreate a true 356 replica.
I still have lots of plans to keep me busy during the coming years: changing to injection, make a new cooling shroud, fit a hardtop (I already have a Glasspar replica), design and build wishbone front suspension....
Anyway, here are some pictures

You gotta love the 5-speed transmission from a Porsche 914!
Yes. That looks a lot like one of Rod's builds - I know the one you mean.
Wow! There's an awful lot to like about that one.
nice job...dont they have the steering wheel on right in Netherlands.
Nicely Done! Congrats
I LOVE it!
nice looking car, gonna be a lot of fun with that running gear
40 hours to build a Speedster divided by 8 year = 5 hours per year?
Nicely done.
I echo what everybody else has said. You must be very pleased with the outcome on your car. Congratulations!!!!!
Great looking car, @Marcel! It should be loads of fun.
