Custom built speedster opportunity for you

I think your ideas will be great. I also like the gloss black cherry and would love to watch the progress .

Yeah - you got a space for us to set up a few lawn chairs and a beer cooler?

 

Exactly....I could use 2 able bodies wrench 4 hours tops then beer n burgers This sat am?

Bill D...where you buddy ?

Shoooot. That's my idea of an ideal Saturday! If I lived closer...

Hey Ted! I'll pick you up and we'll be right over...

For visual reference, here's a couple of pics of Cuzn Vinnie's wide-body VS in Black Cherry...

 

     ...in bright sunlight….

 

      …in incandescent lighting...

 

 

Yeah, and you could get one of those Life-sized, "Cuzin Vinnie" dolls to go with it.

 

Or not......

 

 

 

OK, folks.....So let's not forget the original thrust of this thread, and that is that you could get a CUSTOM BUILT SPEEDSTER TO YOUR SPECS, built by a proven, no BS, no-attitude, knowledgeable and competent Speedster builder (unlike some builders we won't mention here) in time for early March, 2015 cruising, and for honest money.  

 

This, my friends, is the opportunity of the decade.

 

Don't screw this up. If you don't jump on this, someone else will and you'll be driving your Ford Focus this spring, instead.   

What is the price 

Well, wouldn't that depend on options selected?  

Sure , what are parameters 12,000 base,20,000 motor ,color change ,interior,etc.

 

right on to sky is the limit

Gordon ...with a statement like that ( he was not compensated you could sell ice to an Eskimo.... However that was quite nice of you I will print and hang that quote on the shop wall...

 

$12k base would equate to a shade tree assembled Rag Muffin Special that would amount to taking one's life into their own hands prior to third gear.

Fred Flintstone floors, body by Spyder Cracks Inc. Crop duster motor, rusted  rims and undersized tires, manual tilt seats ( single bolt mounting system) and a Lucus factory harness with smoke already installed for time release. 

 

Tough to just throw out a price as there are so many variables. However a guesstimate w/ body work, new paint, current suede dark gray interior, custom aluminum wheels and tires. new Stay Fast top, side curtains... estimate 16.6k. Go further with custom lighting, custom engine air intake grills, higher end wheels, bigger motor, high end steering wheel etc etc Estimate $19k +

So there are a couple of ball park numbers ...one could go minimum and still have a nice ride for under the $16k.... this is not a quote but a guide. Glad to discuss details with a seriously interested person.  Alan 

let me know how to get in touch with you 

 

Alan, I might be up for some wrenchin' and learnin' Sat. a.m. if you'd have me. I'd have to split early-mid afternoon though.

Recalling that Vince's wide body sold for somewhere in the low to mid $$30's 

A visual duplicate for somewhere near $$19+ is one hell of a deal!!!

 

Al, I have to run down to the corner store for cigarettes.

Think I'll pick up a couple of Lotto tickets too...I won't want the door handles 'shaved' though. 

Spoke with " Chubbyvinnie"  I'll be doing the rebuild for him...

Any engine preference, Alan ? Did you get my email by the way ?

Cool - hope he goes for the black cherry.  Harley Davidson has a black cherry that looks black under low light conditions but deep cherry red in sun light.  I still like the matte black Outlaw look. 

Glad to hear the car found a buyer. Vinnie - you won't be upset. Alan knows his way around a speedster or two... or 36.

 

David yes and tnx..will keep the Subbie info for " the next one"

Shyt....I was hoping you'd do it now and give me some tips on how to clean up my act !!

Arrgh  !!   good luck with your new project...

 I now nothing about Subbie motors or the required 'puter stuff to make it go.

Chubbyvinnie - Good call! You won't regret your decision to buy a well-built car, all sorted out and ready-to-drive from Dr. Clock! 

Doc Clock,I have an unbuilt Streetbeast that needs assembly. Interested? Manual says it will take 40 hours to construct. I figure with your expertise,you can do it in half the time. I could be driving it by next weekend! What do you say? Are you up to the challenge? Guaranteed that it will go together without a hitch! Insert tab "A" into slot "B".

Mr Shapiro,

Please look under your desk area, it seems that a zero has fallen to the floor !

Unique opportunity....

 

My custom flared speedster project is available having found that it is going to be much easier to do it my way as my vision then offer it at a very reasonable price. 

Anyone interested in a unique custom street rod style flared speedy dialog me for particulars. Body work is almost completed and will be painted this week.. i.e rebuilt motor and new clutch, all new front suspension and steering box, shaved door handles, frenched license plate, LED tear drop taillights, delete deck lid grill, door poppers, gray faced gauge set, Boxster aluminum pedal covers, dark gray suede seats, door panels & door top rails, billet half wrap leather steering wheel, peep style mirrors, polished aluminum Ridler wheels, front discs etc. Titled as a VW with a completion date of 3/1/15.  

Where can I find rear wheels like on this car above?

 

Sorry to hijack this thread...

You can buy them from Vintage Speedsters.  Kirk has them custom made for his widebody Speedsters.  Don't waste your time looking for them on the internet, you won't find them.

17 x 10  cu$tom in Mexico City...I think I paid $450 for a front 17 x 8" 

Talked with VS about their rims and I understand their wide wheels are on a Chevrolet bolt pattern so the rear drums or discs have to be be converted to Chevrolet pattern as well.

So thats the 5 x 120.6 bolt pattern?

Yes Chevrolet bolt patterns are 5x4 3/4" or 5x120.65 metrically speaking

Would you be willing to sell the car as is?

I am 2/3 of the way done with electrical hopefully, being finished today. 

I have everything in the shop to complete the car, you can dialog me for particulars
