I did...kind of cool. I am not a huge fan though of doing something to these cars like that. I like just the simple speedster or coupe!

TDR I'm with you. If I wanted a gullwing replica (MB 300SLR) I'd have that instead on my Speedster. BUT I love almost all cars!

I would like to build one . but try to make the side and rear windows a lot better and bigger. a gull wing car should be easyer to get in and out of. I lke it to have a useable rear window shelf right above the engine and use a suitcase T-1 orT- 4. i belive i could refine the 550 into a nice early version of a Arbth.

Still very interesting.
