Carlisle photos?

Anybody got any to share here in a common thread? I stuck some up a while back, but there weren't a whole lot of others added.
Call this a fishing trip ...

None from Carlisle, but since I now have the Carlisle build car in my sweaty little hands, I'll take some this weekend.

Lane,
Send me an email (dustyjohn AT aol.com) with your physical address and I will forward a CD with the build pics I took.

Note: So far no takers on the build story for a magazine. Keep fingers crossed.

Dusty

Greetings Dusty;
We are in the lookout for your story on the mags, let us know as soon as it makes it... Also I got some nice pix of the build, I shared them with Gordon, they may be available at the websites sometime too.
Lane: how did your ride made it through the factory check? Im sure the guys scored an A on the build!

JJ, et al, I have posted 8 pictures of the car in my gallery. Let's see if I can get one or two of them to show up here.

Permagrin in place ond fully operational.

I still can't believe that car was done that quickly. What a treat!

Ya shoulda seen it Friday morning. All we had were some welded chassis bits and some fiberglass resin.

Ok, maybe I'm lying. The Beck Deluxe kit comes pretty far along, so it's just bolt on some bits and go - no structural work or paint or upholstery to be done.

Lane,
Wow! The car still looks like it did in Carlisle but your garage in the background REALLY makes me jealous!!!!Does it have electric door openers? Marble inlaid workbenches? Fur lined commodes? Perhaps beer runners on loan from Hooters? I better sign off and go take a cold shower!

Uh, yeah, all of those - NOT.

The SC DMV has chosen to pee on my parade. They're stuck back in the '60s. It will take them 4-6 weeks to assign me a VIN, which I must have before I can license the car. They won't do it over the phone, via email, or in person - only by snail-mail.

Can you get day-trip plates, at least? The kind used to transport an unregistered vehicle?

I've been told no. What's more, since it doesn't have a VIN yet the police will assume it's a stolen vehicle if they stop me. The car would be impounded and I would be in jail until I could prove ownership. Other than a quick trip around the block it's not gonna see any milage until it's legal. Just not worth the risk.

That's terrible. I'll wring their scrawny little necks for you!

Hey Lane!

I empathize with your frustration in dealing with the MENSA members at the DMV - if it's any consolation, I'm sure you'd have the same luck anywhere in this country dealing with Gov/County beaurocrats - same picture, different frame!

You car looks great, nice color combo and set-up! I recommend that your first LEGAL drive in that bad-boy should be done with a full tank of gas, your coolest shades on, 'Free Bird' blazing on the stereo and nowhere in particular to go - but getting there FAST!!

Hang in there, my Speedster brutha!

Lane, I don't feel so bad now.....although this kind of misery is not good to share.

I bought the last Vintage in stock from Bill Dodgen. (By the way, the car really was as stated, only had 116 miles on it, and yes - for those of you I met at Carlisle - I can drive it, although "a perfect fit" is not the phrase I would use).

Bill faxed all the paperwork on Friday, before I made the purchase - and I physically visited the Oklahoma agency beforehand to make sure there wasn't anything else needed (even got the official Oklahoma bill of sale form and mileage declaration) and the agency assured that everything was in accordance with the requirements.

Bill and I completed the transaction on Saturday.

I showed up at the agency with the documents, insurance binder, and a big grin on Monday - and the same guy (I wanted to take no chances) ended up telling me it couldn't be done. AAAAaaaaahhhhhHHHHHH!

Well, I've started communications with Kirk and Bill and I'll have to see what can be done to get me out of "limbo".

Oklahoma apparently has some crazy clause that says you have 30 days to officially register a car. Not sure if I believe it or not - and I'm trying to be ssssoooooo good.....

Lane, buddy, I understand your pain.

Cal,

Since yours has a VW pan (and a VIN along with it) I would have thought that you'd be spared this travail. Hang in there. We'll both have 'em legal by next year's Carlisle.
