something new | 356 Speedster, 550 Spyder, Replica, Automotive Community

I didn't have a chance to send those pics.We spent all

day trying get the car finished.The customer kept giving

us new parts that were advertised as "fitting night in"

We all know how that works out.We fit the body back on the frame

with a so called form fitted carpet that didn't fit at all.He also gave

us a dual chamber master cylinder that we discovered was

no good after trying to bleed it for an hour.Well anyway we

hope to have it finished tomorrow.I will try to get the pics

out tomorrow.One thing I forgot to mention is that he wanted

a metal flake paint job,I will never do that again!

A metal flake Speedster is a tad tacky!

It's not a speedster, it's a Meyer's Manx.

Wow! Carpet in a dune buggy? Perhaps there are no dunes in this buggies future.

I've always wanted a dune buggy. No clue what I'd do with it, just always wanted one...

Cool! Looks like a fun project.

I dig it, haven't looked at them in years, but after looking at some in Carisle, there were some bad a$$ ones. Good luck with it
