Picked up my Spyder Vintage # 300??? | 356 Speedster, 550 Spyder, Replica, Automotive Community

From your comments and others I've read over the past 6 months the wait time to get a car back from Vintage seems to be, to state it mildly, a sore point with many of you out there. The changes I asked for required a partial re-paint, adding darts, racing mirror, wheels, moving the firewall, I'm 6'4" 200lbf, and a few other minor things. Expecting the worst, and having read Spyder letters for some time, when dropping off the car, I asked if it would be about 6 months for the work required, No I was told much less, now much or most of the work is being done in-house, operations are moving ahead rapidly. It took 5 weeks to get the car back and I'm very pleased. Thank you Greg.

And for those of you who have had trouble getting items from Dario, I had no problems there either. Maybe things are't as terrible as I've read, I'll write it off to beginners luck. Karl Dempwolf
