Like button pushed hard ....
Coupes are just beautiful. Particularly the outlaws. Obviously JPS does a front radiator without a front bumper. Is the radiator horizontal, parallel to the ground? Tom, how is the radiator mounted in your JPS speedy?
Love the dog on the video.
The wheels. Oh, baby...
I know they're drilled Porsche spares. Can anybody tell me what they are from?
They appear to be the spare that is used with the collapsable tire on 964/993/996 Although they look similar to the 944/944 turbo spare, the 944 stuff has an additional "hump" as an inner ring (like the hubcap hump on VW 8 hole wheels)
Cool, I like the doggy goggles. 
That's not a dog!
@550 Phil, You are correct -- the radiator is mounted in front. Stock setup is more or less parallel to the ground, angled very slightly toward the rear. I have since had Greg at @Vintage Motorcars Inc re-engineer my entire cooling system. Larger radiator and fan, shroud, and AN braided hoses and fittings. Also added an under-dash gauge, invisible to all but the driver, to keep my sanity. That last bit was a waste of time, though. Stays pegged at 190^ now. :-)
@Stan Galat, As usual, @chines1 is correct. They are 944 spares, and I visited JPS' shop a quite a few times while he was in the process of acquiring and finishing them.
@Carlos G, Don't make me and Nugget pay you a visit...

Right, and it's this "humpless" look that I like.
Greg Leach to the rescue again. If I do a coupe I'm getting one from Vintage even if its on a pan.
Phil, why not wait until his proprietary tube chassis is ready? That's what I'm talking about!

I'm not in the market at least for another 3 or 4 years. Assuming Greg will have the tube cars by then. Guess my point is I'd buy a Vintage pan 356 before I'd buy a JPS just because of the quality Greg puts in his cars. I am a little curious about the upcoming Beck 356 coupe. Tube frame with modern suspension. I would want a suby coupe 356 but I want to keep it a rear engine car (he will also make mid engine coupes). The price point on these new Becks will obviously be a factor.
I know someone who makes bitchen knock offs for those wheels. I have a black set that I am going to sell at some point. They are on my A coupe, I am going to run Kidney bean wheels. Just can't get the old Hot Rod look out of my blood...

The last picture is a kidney bean wheel, its a slang term for the wheels because of the shape of the openings are like a kidney bean...
Original listing for blue coupe taken off ebay as "no longer available" but still on their website for sale ....
I bought the coupe.
Brian is waiting for the check to clear then it’ll be identified as “sold”.
Nice score on that blue coupe, One Stripe!

CONGRATS...great buy..love the car...be SAFE
Didn’t want to say anything until I took possession of her. Flew to Atlanta early yesterday morning, kicked the tires, drove it, signed the papers, called the bank and insurance company, called Lyft for a ride back to the airport and came home late last night.
Love the car. Brian is a do-right guy

I’ll post more once the coupe is delivered.
Expect a new Supporting Member in the coming days!
Stripy - I live an hour north of Atlanta, if you are driving my way on your journey home PM me.
Would’ve been nice to have met you at the dealership if I had more time. The Lyft driver that picked me up (and two other customers) entered my destination incorrectly (cause I copied/pasted the address directly from the website) wanted to drop me off in some Section 8 neighborhood. I told her, “uh...this is way too quick of a trip. It’s 34 miles from the airport and should’ve taken 30+ minutes to get there.” The other two passengers quickly locked their doors as an older man approached the car with a Negan like baseball bat.
I made it to the dealer an hour and a half late.
But...I did get to see the Mercedes Dome and some sites that looked like landscapes from the Walking Dead!

@Will Hesch: That's exactly what I'm after, except I wouldn't want them polished. In their natural state would be perfect.
FWIW, $2700 is about right.
Brush them.
better yet, have them soda blasted to a nice mat-finish
Will...are those 16’s?
They are.
Re: soda blasting or brushing: I've been down that road (taking polished wheels and dulling them up). Talk about lighting money on fire...
Let me know if you’d be interested in a swap
