My New Speedster! Street Beast / Innovative Street Machines

@Stunned Mullet

Nice score on that project car. Looking forward to following your progress, with pics, of course! "Welcome to the Madness" known as replica ownership!

BTW - there are several SOCers in Fresno that you will hopefully cross paths with!

looks like the car out of Reno on CL i posted awhile back..good luck..lived in Fresno in late 70 selling drugs(pharmaceuticals), miss the Diccios Calzones..think Mike is down that way...he will chime in..

barncobob.. HA HA.. yes, I bought the car you are mentioning. And Diccios calzones are great, but Ovidio's are better!! ha ha!

Hey! Good for you! Congratulations from Canada!

Welcome to the group. Building cars is easy and fun!

40 hour clock is starting ... TICK-TOCK!

I've assembled two of the Street Beasts , one classic and the other flared .  I assume that is the one from NV .

LOL

I found the other  .............................  0     Right there under the work bench along with a 10mm socket ~

Yes. This is the one from Nevada.

Things that need to be done:  SB has the kick panels inboard of the 2 x 4 steel box frame , they need to be moved using sheet metal to the outer -wheel well side on the steel frame to allow for a wider foot well and so that your left foot can operate the clutch safety. The donor rear torsion assembly is secured with two 2" clamps, best to have the torsion welded to the SB "frame".

Alan. Could you send me pictures of the foot well area reconfiguration?

This area?

Sorry I do not have photos , I will pm you my phone number   

alan, i feel for U buddy...

On earlier pan CMCs, the kick panels are on the other side (outside) of the steel frame.  My size 12 would not fit well there.

At lease SB fixed the often too close to the driver's rear wheel well opening by requiring the torsion assembly to be mounted with bolts.  It can now be aligned to allow both sides to be equal.

@Stunned Mullet I live in Fresno as does @Teby S and @arajani and @Miguel & Jessica and we go on a lot of drives together. @Troy Sloan refreshes a lot of these cars and he lives here too. He's not so much a builder as he is a refresher. However, he has a lot of knowledge and could probably offer some assistance as could the rest of us. especially if you need to see a completed car in person.

You mentioned Ovidios. Are you close to there? I'm near Herndon and Marks area.

Congrats on the new car! Hopefully it’s done by spring/summer so you can join us on some cruises.
