Ryan I have no idea, I'll check when I get there ... but if someone buys mine before its finished then I'm going to build that one !!

:lolhit:

Steve

dont you dare lol, ive already nailed down a lime green and blue plaid that will be making its way into my car

That green is fantastic. It really speaks to the outlaw and back dating nature of these cars that I love so much.

WT$%^%$# guys ... you are certainly NOT helping with my decision to keep this one or sell it and have the green one built

You guys are killing me ... :headscratch:

Steve

I know you said no to the Matching Bike, but how about a Slot Car?

You build your stuff waaaayyy too nice to sell...I don't know how you part with them...



Jeff-

If you need a Sea Sucker I have one that I would be willing to part with as once I sold the Land Rover I no longer need it.



Thank you and I used a Trek Farley fat bike frame which is the same as my other two bikes.

[QUOTE=Ketzer;713945]You build your stuff waaaayyy too nice to sell...I don't know how you part with them...

Jeff .... I can almost guarantee once I see this car in person in a couple of weeks it is unlikely I will part with it.

We will see, but like the speedster below you realize that going 'fast' or having 800Hp isn't what makes an amazing driving experience, this thing is an absolute blast to drive and the 911 should be even better.

Cant wait and we will see !!

https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...59424dee_b.jpgIMG_1161 by Steve Heck, on Flickr

This is why I wasn't that upset about selling the TA which had a 500hp 383 while keeping the 280hp 540i. I just enjoy driving the BMW more. I do miss rolling burnouts occasionally though :D

Those intake covers do look fantastic, Steve. Car appears to be coming along nicely.

LA Visit !!
 

Guys ... Good morning all
So, just got back last night from Los Angeles to see the car and all I can is WOW.
To say that the car in person was way beyond my expectations is an understatement. Nathan obviously has major OCD like myself and the attention to detail, quality, fit & Finnish is superb.

Here are just a few pics that detail the quality of this build ... Keeping in mind the car has NOT been cut/polished yet

LOVE IT , now stay away from that lime green one lol

LOL .... saw the green one in person ... NO comment right now !!

Video of the car, would be VERY difficult to give this one up for the green one. This one has so much character and vintage feel !!

https://youtu.be/hMmTdBvsmsc

Cheers
Steve

no comment because you're trying to buy the green one too, right? lol. Your blue one is looking amazing. Will you be able to put a wide Euro style license plate on it or will it have to have a normal, modern one? I was just looking at the rear bumper thinking a modern one would look out of place. Glad you're excited and pleased with the build thus far, Steve.

Steve,

Maybe I missed it, but when is the projected finish?

Thanks Trey
Unfortunately I will have to place the normal plate on this car on te back, but will be 'avoiding' the front plate even though it's the law here ... :rules:

To keep both right now would be impossible for a couple of reasons. I have a couple of people very interested in taking the blue one but after seeing it in person it will be very hard to part with ... I'll have to decide in te next moth or so


SKIP ... Thanks for posting the Vid properly (need to figure out how to do that ! )
The car will be fully done in about 6 weeks

Interior has started by 'the guy' from >>>>>> , here is the custom roll bar getting wrapped in the beautiful leather we selected

Completely understand. Just giving you a hard time since you clearly have good taste. Both your car and that green one are great. There's no way in my mind you'd go wrong with either.

Keep the blue one long enough to get some miles and smiles out of it.

I am continually amazed at how fast you can get a project completed....while I fully understand the concept of "many hands make light work..." you seem to have a knack for finding the right team that will actually DO work...and do it right now!


Jeff-

LMAO ... Jeff I guess I'm just a likeable guy !! or lucky as f(*&^!

Cheers
Steve

More accurate than you know... money sure doesnt seem to motivate people anymore...

You are absolutely right Jeff, and I do consider myself incredibly lucky to have friends in the industry that put me at the front of the line to get stuff done.

Cheers
Steve

a friend snapped pictures of this Singer heading to Europe!
