Black Bean Dell....perfect. 
To preserve his mental health Brandon might consider selling the black bagged coupe...Hands off everyone...This is an official notice that I'm first in line!!!!
BTW, here's a 'patina finished' bagged '60 B coupe for sale in the Netherlands (thesamba# 1595507)...but scroll down to the seller's other offerings: "Brand new 356 coupe moulds Fiberglass"
Go for it Carl !
Al, I most certainly am afflicted with 'the madness'...but not irrational enough to touch that bagged '60 B coupe.
The seller states that it's "road worthy" I think that means that with luck it may hold together for driving it to a Porsche mechanic who has a shelf full of very expensive, rare, OEM Porsche parts....No thank you!
But the molds for an A coupe is an interesting 'fantasy'...although why would he be selling the very backbone of a potentially profitable enterprise???
Ooo-OH
Bill I don't think your "first bid" contention will be considered valid by the SOC Madness Arbitration Committee since you didn't publically, and officially, announce your intention to snag Brandon's black coupe...as I did!
Nevertheless, If my claim isn't upheld by peer review, I'm willing to challenge you to either Indian Arm Wrestling... or a best of two out of three coin flips. According to the rules of chivalry it will be your choice!
Sorry to burst everyones bubble but i installed specific Bagged Coupe Snipe software when his car was completed..
Perhaps a duel ? Seconds will arrange weapons, time and place.
Lol ...you guys crack me up.
Carl, I am truly flattered by your admiration of my coupe.
Lol! I deleted my notification of prior position, I don't have the coin to play...But man oh man I dig that coupe!
Brandon, I'm curious, in all the pictures posted so far when the car is dropped the passenger side rear wheel really cants in compared to the others. Is there a reason for that? Or is it just the pictures?
I've seen a quite a few bagged cars(Granted they are American built vintage makes) and it seems that when fully dropped some of the best looking(and I assume best built) ones all four wheels remain in correct alignment and some of the bagged cars, usually on the front end, will show the extreme negative camber but it will be both on wheels.
Gary,
That extreme canting is typical of swing axles (which Brandon's coupe has) as opposed to IRS rear suspensions.
Carl is correct regarding the swing axle vs IRS. Both rears will cant in…driver and passenger look the same.
This could be eliminated if you went with an IRS and a smaller wheel.
Part of the reason I went with swing axle is because it would allow a 17" wheel and to get the car as low as I wanted without any rubbing issues.
Carl, I understand that the extreme canting is typical of the swing axle, yet my question is why does the passenger side look canted in way more than the drivers side? From all the pictures of both sides of the car only the passenger side wheel really looks canted in to the extreme.
Were it a Jag/Versaille rear end like my Cobra runs that extreme cant on one wheel would indicate a damaged half-shaft... when I first dropped my Speedster I went way to low on the swing arm and BOTH wheels were extremely canted in like the coupes passenger side wheel...wasn't fun to redo it again...learned a lesson or two there.

Its just the pictures. I actually just went and looked at it real close to make sure! 
An iconic shape distilled down to its essence. Yeah I know that sounds pretentious, but man what a pretty car!
Brandon, your coupe takes bad-assery to a whole 'nutha level!

Thanks Fellas!
"pretentious". Lane?
I thought that ego-stroking pretention is the visual affirmation, and celebration, of our madness...huh?
Looked at the pics about twenty times before I even noticed the red Porsche in the background.
A photographer contacted me and asked me if he could photograph/video my car for his calendar.
I was quite flattered.
Cool!
Looks great! Congratulations.
Thinking of a Coupe, more pictures please. What a smoking hot looking car.. Congrats!!
what is there not to like when it's black...
W O W OK I now know that in the near future one of my speedster projects will be a "topless" similar to this coupe'
Brandon,
What paint did you use? how many coats of paint and clear?
Your car is so shinny I can use it as a mirror to comb my hair in front of it.
Another question. Did you chrome the rims and other parts
of the car. It looks amazing, you're a true artist!
Blasco.

Thanks for the kind words Blasco!
JPS painted the car. I'm not sure what type of paint or the quantity of coats they applied. I think they did a pretty decent job with it. There were a few areas of concern, most of which were able to be corrected, thanks to the detailer I use.
Rims and all other chrome parts were ordered the way you see them. No chroming had to be done.
very clean lines , I like it ...but for me I would put gleeming overriders on that ....
..I sure hope he has good ac, and ventilation
Brandon, I'm in Northern Florida once a month, I'd like to meet with you to check out your car.
Thanks!
