Stan, were you so excited that you posted twice??? ;-) I think that Steven Lawing at Specialty Autoworks in Knoxville will get the nod. Now that Algebra is sold and paid for, I am a free agent. Soon, the waiting will start. It would be nice to join up with Jim Ward and drive to Knotts, but I doubt that I'll be ready. Maybe, just maybe. The pictured car would be similar but with the following modifications:
1. No vent windows
2. Regular bumper overriders
3. Paint will be torch red and not guards red
After careful consideration, I think that I am going to go with the smaller 2.2L engine. I think for the way I drive 137bhp will be plenty and after checking out some Subaru websites, it appears that this is a gem of an engine.
To the best of my knowledge, this will be the only replica Cabriolet on the market.

ps. Location of the builder was very important to me. Also, I have come to know Steve and find him a great person who produces a quality product. Also, I think the modern powerplant is better suited to my needs.
