Hoss - good goin' on that trophy.

Max, I wish a set of those wheels would fit my car, but that isn't going to happen. :-(

Here's a link to some pics of mine, can't get them to embed here, and don't feel like reducing them:

Max, I think it was the Jane Mansfield clone climbing out of the hat that impressed the judges. ;-)

my E. L. Speedster

Al, I like your outhouse, looks like it is more than a one holer. very helpful w/ a family, I am sure . . .

Al, you might want to think about putting a couple of windows in your house so that you can keep an eye on your Speedster! 8-}

That's a dog house for a big freakin' dog!

It's actually a Wellfleet oyster shack from the 1800's. Probably the last one. They prossesed oysters there and sent them to Boston and N.Y. I've seen photos of boxcars full of oysters being shipped out in their hayday, before they tore out the railroad. Now it's a bike path. (I bet they wish they had the trains back)

Ted would like that house

Holy schmokes, Chris!!!! That's a nice car!

Thanks Lane. It took a little while and I almost sold it mid way through my trough its transformation

chris,

totally awesome car. Must be VERY fast, and sure looks dangerous. i see you are a devoted disciple to the "just paint it black" school of Speedster finishing. steve and angela would approve . . .

You have something very special there, and i love the pedals, which look very original vs very VW. How was that done??

I bet that flat six sounds great running through those two Supertrapps.

Chris - your 911 Roadster(?) is AWESOME!! Nice job on the re-do!

It's an older kit, I think 16 or 17 years now since 1st built? But still running around the central and eastern parts of MA on the nice days.

Hey SpeedsterBro,

Good Job!!

Chris S - where you hiding ? need some details, engine, body mods, how much are you selling for?

ok ok l admit it,,, this is as far as lve got to date,,, but moving forward past... oh had the speedster painted yesterday, black with gold pearl.. looks just great

Here's my ride!

I KNEW I left her somewhere ....Thanks Mike. ~Alan

I know a guy who repairs body rust...

OK so here is my favorite picture of my new car. It was taken on July 12 in Ukeelet on Vancouver Island, BC at the lighthouse.

Other than the 235hp "Beast" motor the best thing is I can get two airline sized carry-on suitcases in the trunk along with a backback and not even pack anything behind the seats.

This my friends is the perfect road car. Not yet a month old and it already has almost 3,500 miles on it!

Billiemail - very cool project!!

Dave M - don't you love it when a plan (your car) comes together?

Guys,

Thanks for the complements! Here are some of my build details and a couple of answers to your questions

Very handsome ride Chris

My long term project had some updates. Lower suspension and wideband lambda to get carbs closer to what they should be.
Still the old house keepeng busy so too little time for good hobbies...

A nice shot of Kelly's Red Baron, from before last night's cruise:

Jim,

I had a vision and a plan. Henry lived inside my head and was able to see exactly my vision and created what he nicknamed "The Beast".

Something about the 235hp I think.......;-)

CHRIS YOUR RIDE IS AWESOME
LOVE THE NO DOOR HANDLES

You're such a tease, Gerd.

Heres mine

What a nice ride ! ~Alan

I know that beach or some of them in sight of "Rabbit Island" Is that in Sea Life Parks parking lot?

Thanks Alan,
Yes its the Rabbit island parking lot. good eye

Dad was stationed at Hickem from 65 to 68......;-)

I go back as often as I can. I love the Big Island best!
