I just put the Speedster on the road for the first time yesterday. You can't believe (or maybe...) how nervous I was, going out of sight, and downhill from my home. Then, SHE wanted to drive - can you believe it!? Really though, it was great. Now I'm sitting at my desk, with my car in the parking lot, waiting for those innevitable visitors with the ,"is that your car", line...It's going to be a great day!
Gotta give some credit to Hagerty Insurance. I searched the forum on Insurance, and Hagerty came up on both sides of the 'satisfaction' debate. I called Wednesday, and had insurance Thursday, for $237 /yr.! They were great - give them a call.
I'm also gona give a lot of credit (really, all of it) to God for His provision of all that was needed to get this car done. Yeah, I'm one of those Christian guys, who knows where the credit is due. This wasn't one of those sure things; it definately knocked the budget for a loop, and pressed the family quite a bit. There were a few tears shed as well, believing that it would never finish. 9 mo. later, here we are. When I look around my shop, I can barely find a single tool that it took to get this project complete; all of the important ones were Gods - on loan!
