Nice Job!

I just got done cruising Vintage Warehouse Treffen pics on FB, and they had three pics of your car!

Love the the wheels and leather hood hold downs! Slick.

I like the new interior! Wheels are sick any rubbing issues?. Love that you are running the decklid again.



Thanks! The front wheels rub a little if you are going at an angle onto of off a driveway and turning at the same time, but in general there is no rubbing lock-to-lock :thumbs:

I love the retro look ,Decals remind me of Scotty's 356... Wheels and stance are bitchin. (did I say that). Do you plan on any rally / race time? :thumbs:



The car was inspired by Outlaw 356s, so that's by design ;)
I do actually hope to track the car in the future, maybe some road racing and auto cross, but I'm way to busy now for anything like that. Since I drive the car nearly every day, I'm always tossing it into turns, so every day is "track day" 8-)

Thanks for the heads up, I checked it out! They must have really liked it or really hated it, they didn't have that many pics of too many cars. lol

Looks sick! Love the wheels and old-school look. Specs on wheels/tires?

Interior looks awesome. When is the re-spray happening?



Not sure about the re-spray, maybe next year. I may just do the body work on the hood and have it re-sprayed if they can match the color close enough, I actually think the car looks good with some bumps and bruises, lol. I will need to spray a different decklid too at some point ;)
