Project # 29

Just got a red basic CMC into the shop with a 1600 motor 3:88 R&P tranny.
#29 needs a fix on the drivers door bottom that sticks out, may section the door jamb and reglass it so that it is flush to the rear quater and rocker panel.
Two hour windshield replacement, clean up the front trunk, add speedster scripts & body side moldings, replace door panels, door top rails, door handles.
Install tonneau cover and boot cover, make Lexan side curtains, paint and detail the motor area and other misc items.
50-60 hours.

Now your just showing off!! You should devote as much time to finding a cure for irritable bowel syndrome!! Your as addicted to speedsters as I am to breathing!!

Seriously. My bowl is as irritable as Simon Cowell

Giday, Alan. When you detail the engine compartment on your projects, do you line the walls with some reflective, sticky back material...or what ? I'd like to do that to mine and perhaps even paint my engine tin a light colour so I can see things better in there. Right now all is black and like staring into a dark hole. Thanks.

I don't use the aluminum reflective material to me it looks unfinished. Some of firewalls get painted black and on the higher end speedsters I use a prefinished epoxy black aluminum panel, the same stuff used on small enclosed trailers.

Did I miss #28 ??

Barry ..#28 is the custom IM I have titled and tagged :~)
cu at the Pumpkin Run.

Down here in Georgia, (State of confusion) my progress is slower than molases in January in the Artic....On a REALY cold day.

Leon---that's because you don't have the same 12-person full time crew that Alan must have to turn these cars out so quickly and so perfectly. He claims to do it all himself but we know better!

"perfectly" ....Bwaaaahahahahaha

Jack,

Today removed the broken windshield ( someone didn't bother to trim the mirror rod and it rubbed against the windshield glass) jacked up the rear body section, drilled out the body to 2x2 frame rivets replacing them with 5/16th bolts. Organized the front trunk wiring and extra length of fuel tank hoses adding a in line tank vent.
Removed the old carpet (it smelled like cat pee) also discovered swiss cheese holes on the front passenger side floor it will get replaced with a OEM floor piece next week along with finding a way to slice the driver's door jamb to get it not to stick out 5/8" on the bottom rear while the rest of the door is flush as it should be.
The good news.... it's a very early Intermeccanica.
