Speedster being delivered soon!

2332CC ! told you I was new to this stuff! wanted to get that corrected.

Beautiful car! WTTM.

Regarding the Cheby background, there's more than a few of us here. We'd be the alchemists trying to trade gold ingots for small-block power from our lawn mower engines. I suspect you'll be one of our merry little band soon enough.

welcome!

Great looking car and with Greg having built it, I'm sure it will be a fine car. Congratulations and welcome.

Welcome aboard!

Nice car. 

@Jeff C 

The madness begins 🤙👍😎. Welcome

Welcome, Jeff!

Looks like a great car for you and the power to weight ratio should remind you of your muscle cars - That car's gonna SCOOT!

As Stan mentioned, a number of us came from the world of Muscle cars and/or Hot Rods and some still are in that side of the hobby, too.  Knowledge abounds here.

Enjoy the car and, as you already know, don't be afraid to ask questions.  Just beware of thread drift!

Welcome To The Madness Jeff!  It's going to be a gorgeous car. What's going on it for wheels- steel with hubcaps like in the pics?  Do you know if it's swingaxle or Independent Rear Suspension (irs)?  Discs on the front and drums/back or discs all around?  I'm an old VW guy but my brother has always been into V8's so I've heard all the questions (as have most of us).  Don't be afraid to ask, as there are no dumb questions (well, there are, but we'll forgive you at first).   Airflow and oil temps are everything with these little watchwinders.  When do you take delivery?  What part of the continent do you hail from?  A lot of us are on a first name basis here, so you can call me Al (come on, you know the tune!)

PS- do you remember what ring&pinion went in your transaxle?  I have so many questions but I'm trying to start slow!   And I agree with Uncle Stan- you're gonna fit in here just fine.  But when your car arrives, we are going to need pics.  Lots and lots of pics...

Jeff, the Speedster may look all friendly for the wife, but with Greg's 2332, it's gonna MOVE! You won't be disappointed, just take it easy when the wife rides with you.

Be careful with lifting off the throttle in a corner, all that engine weight in the back tends to make the ass want to come around. Have fun!

Al, Jeff ordered an IRS car, but you'll have to wait on the trans ratios.........

I'm pretty sure most cars Greg is building have 4 wheel discs these days, especially with a 2332 out back. Mostly the SoCal discs.

Good morning!

Thanks for all the quick replies, I'm used to waiting a couple days on the Chevelle forums!  So ALB the car does have IRS and the 2332 will be coupled to a 3.44 R&P transmission with a VS quick shifter, I  was going to powder coat the aluminum rims black but wasn't sure how that would play with the dark grey, can always do that one later, I believe all of Greg's builds have 4 wheel disc brakes now, this one does.  I live here in Vacaville, California which is considered northern CA.  We live out in a rural area with some acreage allowing me to have a nice shop to tinker and wrench and insulate me from the liberal wack jobs, sorry if I  offended anyone with that, actually not really!

Thanks to all and I will be leaning on you all as time goes on, should have the car in about 3 weeks maybe sooner!

What is the thought on a clear bra? seems like these things could catch allot of chips with the shape in front...I prefer no bra in some situations for sure!

Get it. Without question, get it. You have no idea how peppered the front of the car will get without. I did not, and the front of my car looks like it was shot with a 12 ga loaded with rock-salt.

Will check with Greg to see if they do that or if I should let the paint cook a few months first and do it up here..

@Jeff C  A few are around you at Northern Cal. 

@Jeff C

"Welcome To The Madness" known as replicar ownership. Based on that picture, your car will look awesome and the engine/trans specs will surely surprise unsuspecting Mustangs, Camaros, etc.

In Vacaville you are centrally located  to several SOCers in the vicinity. @Ryan (formerly) in NorCal @Sacto Mitch @Napa Paul @Kevin - Bay Area @Rick99GSX

@Jeff C  Welcome!  I'm located in Concord, and drive my speedster all over the Bay Area; especially up to Novato (for cars and coffee when those used to happen) and trips up to Napa Valley.

I'm a bit of a wuss and rarely drive during the hot summer days out here when temps go beyond 90-95 degrees.  But do enjoy morning and evening cruises during the summer.

I hope to see your car in person.

Hello neighbor! I'm in Vacaville as well and have a Spyder myself (there's 2 Spyder here in Vacaville). Hope you did not get affected by the fires we had recently. If you need help with anything let me know. Additionally we should do a Napa run once you get your new baby 😎👍 

Great stuff fellas, thanks for all the kind replies! Rick I am surprised I haven't seen your spyder around town, I am always looking for any classics while I'm out and about, I appreciate the offers for help as well from all!  I have a two post lift and a drive on as well if any of you guys near by need to get your cars up in the air for anything.  That's the thing I like about the car community, most folks are ready and willing to help or just hang out and have a cold one and shoot the sh#%.
