Well more work and more details and fabbing....
Made the Exhaust flange back, front bumper support and driving light bracket today and a few other odds and ends.... It won't be long now Doug I promise....
Yea, Those are projector HID's I think he'll be able to see far enough ahead now...
WOW!!! 
Excellent job Kevin!!! 
Spectacular. Both of those cars are very well done.
When installing your suspension kits (front and/or rear) - is there any welding necessary? Or are your kits bolt on?
Really nice work,
Ted
WOW!!!!! Kevin, you RULE!!!!! 
Thank you gentlemen.
As far as installing our suspension kits, there is some welding, however we laser cut the parts so that they fit right into place, and we've given enough places to weld that even if you have never welded before you'll be able to safely install our suspension kits.
I just got back after a hot lap down the freeway to double check an over heating issue this car had before it came to me. The reason I bring this up is when was the last time you took your speedster up over 100 mph for ten miles and did not worry about turns and changes in surfaces. It also helped stay at that speed due to the Porsche 915 (911) transaxle having a fifth gear so the engine rpms never got above 4400...... Plus this car just rides great and smoooooooth.....

Both front and rear require welding? Dang. That's another skill I haven't mastered.
Those are beautiful set ups. I imagine that they function as well as they look.
Ted
Kevin, I like the driving light set-up...have you had enough nighttime experience yet to determine if they are doing their job?
Ted,
Why imagine, we can do installs..... 
Rich,
These HID's shoot light about 25 feet in front of the car and would go further if I did not have to point them at the ground. In a word they work GREAT!!!

Yeah yeah, but then you'd have to do that whole pesky 'charge for labor' thing.
With results that awesome, I have to ask: What's the labor rate to install the front? and/or the rear?

Kevin, really sweet and sano work!
Ted,
I think you would be surprised of how affordable my full custom work is. For example if you wanted to send your 356 chassis to me we could install the suspension kits for around $1600. Of coarse the prices start going up from there, but we only do what our customers want and never pressure them into anything they don't....
DANG, Jimmy, that car looks bad-ass!!!
DANG, Jimmy, that car looks bad-ass!!!
Thanks a bunch MusbJim! I sold it back in October after owning it for 11 years and miss the hell out of it. I'll get another in the future but in the meantime, I will continue to hang out here with you guys so I can keep up with the latest happenings.
Thanks again!
And I thought I was the first to think of sticking the hid's behind the grills.... Nice Cali-Tub
Thanks Kevin! Your intercooler setup is what inspired me to install a similar setup in mine as I didn't have your creative thinking. It turned out great and I was able to run 18+psi on pump gas and smoke Corvettes and Mustangs all day long. I really enjoy seeing the fabulous creations that come out of your shop!
Good to see someone having fun today!
Kevin - THAT car with the hard-top is a SERIOUSLY BAD-ASS looking ride! Once again, you've outdone yourself!
BTW - I am totally jealous of Doug!
As always, very cool Kevin. Do you remember offhand the rim widths and tire sizes on the 2 black Speedsters, and are they the same front and back? Al
it is a spring plate retainer. Where the front or the spring plate goes into the torsion tube, there is a couple of rubber bushings. These bushings are normally 30 years old and worn out. There has been urethane bushings used for a long time as a improved replacement part, however they squeak like crazy after awhile. We have actually taken this part to the next level by using space age Delron AM which is a self lubricating nylon that will never squeak and will out perform anything on the market at this time.
The next chassis being show cased at the Bug in yesterday. Full Mendeola Suspension, Porsche 911 five speed trans, and a 2165cc Turbo injected air cooled engine....... SWEET

I thought it was a spring plate retainer, but I wasn't sure how it would hold everything in place. I guess it's missing the Delron 'cup' or plate
What are you guys getting for the new space age set up for a 67 IRS?
Ted
Shouldn't that be a 67 swing axle?
Yes, you're right Ron; it should. Unless someone added irs pivots to the pan...
Kevin- Do you remember the tire/rim sizes on those Speedsters?
Shouldn't that be a 67 swing axle?
Yeah, it's 100% swing. I have no explanation for why I typed IRS.
Ted
The full kit with hardware and bushings is just $195 + shipping.
