Safety Jim will be rolling his Speedster tomorrow! | 356 Speedster, 550 Spyder, Replica, Automotive Community

Safety Jim Buffalo NY.

It has been an incredibly long time since I started the urban renewal project on my Speedster. The CB Performance motor kit with the new Weber 44s, new alternator, new stainless muffler, new remote oil filter, new fuel pressure regulator, new fuel filter, new Magna spark ll kit, new tranny, new CV joints with new half shafts, new engine seals, new sheet metal, new hood release cable, new clutch disk, new clutch cable and on and on should be ready to take off the jack stands and go for a ride! All I have left for the morning is to hook up the heater box cables and one heater hose. Please throw your most positive Speedster thoughts my way for it's maiden voyage!

Here is a video right after warming up the first time and timing it with a strobe... the timing light and a remote starter switch are the wires hanging over. The left heater tube will be replaced tomorrow. And, the engine seal is not in it yesterday when I got it to start, run and idle...
