I am thrilled to let everyone know, that my Speedster has been selected to represent the Kit Car Industry during the Import/Kit-Replicar Nationals. It will be displayed Thursday thru Sunday in Pavillion "Y". Needless to say,I am quite excited at the prospect of bringing our cars the National recognition that they deserve. And also I want the builder of this car (Al Merklin) to be honored. If not for his efforts and keen eye for detail,this would not be possible. Kudos to you, my friend! Thanks to all that have had a part in this. I plan to do you guys and gals proud.

You and Alan should both be proud! It's a beautiful car, and well deserving of such an honor.

Allan -

THAT IS VERY COOL! I am not surprised that a 'Merklinized' vehicle is getting such attention! You will no doubt get lots of attention with your ride!

BTW - would you please post a pic of your SPeedy for those of us who have not seen it!

Peace - Out!

Another example of why we call him "Merklin the Magician".

Bet you'll have to fight off the guys from the Street Beast booth trying to take credit for it.....

Alan MerklinDrclock - Elkins, West Virginia Supporting Member

Sure would be nice to have a five minute open forum with that ..gang.

Am I sensing a seminar here .... or maybe a roasting? :>)

MusbJim'14 VS SoCal Supporting Member

We'll get Lane to do his Foster Brooks impersonation for the Roast!

Hoss

I don't think there is enough time between now and Carlisle for Lane to get fat or drunk enough to do a good Foster Brooks impersonation.
