Thanks to Cory, the Pewter Imposter is the name of my latest Speedster project, which will soon be listed on eBay.

Here are a few new photos as I am preparing her for a new home.

If you are thinking about polishing your wheels yourself, you may want to reconsider after seeing these pictures. I took the Pewter Imposter's wheels to a local semi-truck detailing company and for $25 each (and a $25 tip) this is how they turned out and it only took them 1 hour to do it. It's the best $25 you will ever spend on your wheels.

There are also some photos of the top and underside of the engine. What I thought was a dual oil cooler is actually the air conditioner condenser, but it does have an oil cooler too.

Troy:

After spending 3- 4 days EACH on my polished Fuchs, I am totally in favor of having someone else polish anything in the future.

That tip of a Big Rig polishing outfit is great - Lots of those places here in the South.

When I left work, my BP was 155 over 93.

Now in retirement, I'm 120 over 74. No question in my mind why I left High Tech...

I just got one of these T-shirts from my friends, "Statler and Waldorf". It pretty much says it all:
