If you only knew. Imagine a girl who looks like me........But back when I weighed about 295 (yes, there was a day.....)
Ja ja! That's too funny..!!
The first one I posted was jps. Still looking...

Julio, now can you see the dif? There are three styles of flared fenders that I am aware of...
That was Troy's green SW.
Yes I saw the video. It was/is perfect
Subaru motors are notorious for head gasket failures. Just like the VW water boxer they based on.

Another over priced CMC from Beverly Hills Motors.
Julio, Do yourself a favor and look at the IM that Alan built. It's a smoking nice custom with the soft flares at a hell of a price. It won't last long!
Get it before BHM does and tacks on another $10K
Also the one above looks to have some suspension issues...
Gordon has a video of me pulling silly donuts ~
Hello Alan. How much are you asking for the soft flared IM? Please send me some photos of the car.
thanks Bill.
Julio, jump on this cat is is fantastic ! Not my car, check in classified...I did own it twice a few years back Beautiful car at a great price $20k
Only $20k? Wow!
Allan, the way you reconfigured the convertible top on that red Speedster is the bomb.
Is that a specialty only you do?
A local street rod shop did it many years ago, it has a specific fabricated carriage assembly that allows for the very low profile "hard" Stayfast covered 1/4 boot cover to remain on the car with the top up .

Robert. Different car is being discussed.
Julio, go to our classified ad to see the "Merklin Special" $20k is a smoking good price.

Fixed it. That's right, the one Alan built, sold, bought, and sold is back up for sale.

$20K is a great price but that would also be a project for me. I have a specific look in mind and that IM would take a lot of TLC to get it there. New Paint (different color), wheels, interior, classic gauges, A/C, bumpers, etc. etc.
Appreciate you all looking after me on that one.
@Tebs: Please send me all the details of the West Coast Cruise. I like the idea. Do you have any pictures of the car? Remember I'm after a wide body. Maybe after I graduate from speedster university I can think of getting a traditional as well.
Thanks again!

Damn it Teby. That's the fourth time this year you've sold my car. Stay away from my car before I get a restraining order.
Listen folks, if Teby offers to sell you a silver/oxblood Speedster don't respond. He's like the Bernie Madoff of used Speedsters, except worse.
"Honey, do these fenders make my ass look fat?"
Julio B. posted:Here are the photos of this same care rotated. It was made by JPS but the owner was selling it with very low miles. The engine smoked on ignition and idle, smoke stopped when it warmed up but I lost interest due to this.
What's wrong with the suspension Troy? It looks in the one pic like the wheelbase is off and the tires aren't quite lined up to the fender opening but that could be from the angle of the photo. Is this what you were talking about?
