Outlaw build

engine specs?

Good for you Al !  I was wondering what the story was on Arden's project going up for sale, but I see it's in good hands. Can't wait to see the end results of this Outlaw. It has some nice features already. Should be a great build to watch.

This is going to be epic.  Looking forward to seeing the final product.

I love every time Alan posts a new project... I think back to when he finished my build and said "this really is going to be the last one I ever build".   Great for you Alan to still be churning out amazing works of art!  This really looks like an exciting one.

What color are you thinking?

The fiberglass body is thick and well engineered, I spoke with Rafael in Mexico this morning he told me they widened this body to accept the Mendeloa chassis with the 17" Airkewlwed wheel$. I had to look at the back to see it was 2" wider it's nicely done and the only one wide stock body that exsists.  Engine specs are unknown so I pulled a valve cover and the ports are oval shaped and the valves are huge. I asked Arden to let me know where the engine was purchased from so I can back track for info.....  Jaguar Vapor Grey Metallic is the color choice. The speedster will retain the hoop roll bar and hard tonneau so it will be without a top to replicate an Emory.      .................Recently someone was asking about a scissor top frame assembly: I am going to sell the top frame assembly,  black Stayfast top and side curtains . This to when folded down rests on the rear body as does the Intermeccanica tops.

Looking forward to seeing what you do with this 1, Alan!  What size carbs are on it?

And how many holes are you gonna drill in it?  

YES!!! I'm in for this trip!

Good for you Alan, that project with the Mendeola is really something that is interesting to me. Looking forward to seeing you hit this one out of the park.  BAT maybe

... you just can't keep a good man down.  And when it comes to custom mods on Speedsters (or dune buggies, or ... whatever) DrClock is indeed a very good man.  And love that suspension.  One of these days, maybe, that front end.  Maybe.  How sweet that would be.

I wish we didn't have to wait until December for the show to start.

I am committed to building the Dune Buggy aka "The Orange Crate" first, with committed being the key word.  We'll see if there's enough interest to keep a running build thread.

I understand you have prior commitments and the reason for the schedule. We will just have to suffer with anticipation until December.

Best series on the web on car building yet

I like Rafael, we had one of his cars ordered way back when he first started out. After 3 months, my customer got nervous and wanted a refund. Sadly I never got to build one of Rafaels cars. I still chat with him and its great to know that you are taking one on and good to know that they are quality fiberglass bodies.

I've been messaging Rafael since 2014, when we were going back and forth yesterday, he said send me your address I will send gift for your Outlaw build....

we'll wait.  The Magician has his ways, and it is only for us to wonder how. So, patience, Prudence.
