Here is another unusual one. The build looks to be good quality - details a little weak. Jake Raby engine (but it looks like 4 plugs), and the price has been dropping. But for me it has to drop a lot more. None the less - kind of a fun 4 wheel motorcycle. :-)

I saw it at Carlisle several years ago. Very nice/clean build with some unique features and one MEAN Raby mill...
Went by JOGYVER on SOC. According to profile: custom frame/chassis and 2270cc Type4 with Raby DTM. He posted a lot on build process.
It looks like it has a shine down license plate light mounted upside down.
2270 is probably Jake's most reliable type 4. If I was going for a Raby type 4 I'd build the 2270. I almost did for my 2nd spyder but went suby instead. Probably a very nice ride.
Yep! That's Joe's car! Joe's FAST Car! Joe still pops his head in here every once and a while!

Yes I'm popping my ugly head in. Been extremely busy with work. They just moved my business unit to downtown Chicago. Now putting in 13 hrs day with the commute.
Weak details.......get some glasses buddy. This car has lots of hidden details. Under structures , square tube chassis, front crash bar, carbon fiber panels, working side air intakes, aluminum underside panels just to name a few. The shine up plate light is a replica of the early model speedsters that had shine up lights. Bought it from JPS. It soon will be pulled from gateway. They're unrealistic prices are killing me. They want to make $3k-$5k over my asking price. So by the end of this month or being of May I'll post it on here .
Hey Joe!! When are you going to have some more pics of that hot rod you are (we're?) building?
Shine up light.
Lane, I'm still working on that project. Learn as I go in the world of sheetmetal shaping. I never give up and always finish what I have started .I'll post some photos soon.
Joe,
Just FYI; JPS must have sent you an early style shine down by mistake, instead of the mid 57-59 shine up. At first I though the rubber was upside down, but if you look at the angle of the actual housing, yours is a shine down, placed as a shine up. Small thing on such a beautiful car...
As I mentioned to you when we met in Carlisle, it's a beautiful (and FAST) custom build!
Oh you got me on that one ... Sort of. I replaced that with a black anodized aluminum T handle . Thats an old photo. No hard feelings criticism aids in making things better. Cary you're probably right about the light . I never had any issues or comments since its a bit of a hot rod.
Have to get rid of it to make room for other projects.
This thing hauls butt. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQu6ZwZgWko
It is a beauty, love the color, and maybe the only center console I have seen in these bad boys that I don't mind. And a Raby T4!! Holy carp. Stunning.
