Scott Sloan's car

Actually, the inspiration was the production-class race cars (now Outlaws) of the '60's. Just coincidentally, the Michigan-bound 6 cylinder Speedster in Excellence and mine were built about the same time and the Stonegray color choices were just that . . . coincidence. We differed in interior color and, of course, that 2.7L engine of the other. They are pretty similar in most other respects.

Wow! That is nice, great retro-racer look. Scott do you have CB's Ultra Comp or Turbo system?

Henry emailed me photos of your car. It was love at first site. Beautiful car.

I think many of us have a vision of what we would do the secod time... This car is close to what I am plannong if all goes well the next year.

What a great looking car and a statement to "doing your homework and planning".

Scott,

Very nice car.

Jim,

You bring up a very interesting question. What would others do differently the second time around?

I want to thank you all for the nice comments. This is a car I've wanted for a very long time as most of us have. Each time we get in the car of our dreams it brings a smile to our face as they should. It's exactly the way I envisioned it and with Henry's input and the skill of his crew it came out right. There actually were a great many things I hadn't even thought of. That's where Henry's vast experience came in and his unselfish assistance at working those situations out to my satisfaction.

Hello Scott,

This forum is great. Everyone has something positive to say about you car. I will be planning mine also and want to get it right the first time. Similar to yours, I will add a chrome rollbar behing the driver side and paint it black (Darth VAder Black!).

You have a cool car!

Regards,
Peter

Scott,

Is the paint one of Henry's standards or did you find/select it? Do you know who makes it?

The only paint Henry uses as far as I know is Glasurit. The color is called Stonegray and was an unpopular (I should say less common) special order in '57. Kinda split pea soup to some.

Scott:

That's a very nice looking speedster. Did you get the inspiration from the one that was featured in the Excellence magazine this summer? Grey and red is a great combination.

Sorry. When I looked at your seats in the small pic, they looked red. I just looked again and can see they are tan. Still a very nice combination!
