Well, it's finished, made it's first trip, nothing broke or fell off and while the owner is still cleaning the dirt off, he can't wipe that smile away! For a first outing it was a pretty good one, 6 hours seat time each way. Naturally with a brand new car it rained for the first 2 hours. Not as bay as coming home though, it was HEAVY for the whole 6 hours. It was the first wet edition for this event in 34 years. What are the chances! At this point I can't let it go without saying that the touchstone for this car was the Richard Munz roadster out of Brizio's shop. Although not a clone (actually many things are different), the owner loved the Munz car in TRJ and even more when he saw it at LARS, so it was a bit of a case of 'can I have one like that?' It worked out pretty damn well. Build threads: http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=350044:http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=441375
I like your addition of the tire covers / fenders. Is there a fender law down under? Great job on the Roadster, enjoy!!
Good work Tony, your going to have a lot of spare time now. so wheres the sloper? You must be happy that all went well and no major issues, pity on the rain, but thats roadsters really. And lets not forget for many people these were there everyday car when new.
BEAUTIFUL! and i really like what you've done for fenders. very clever and almost unnoticeable. if ya gotta run em thats the way to do it. ....really nice work all around.
Take note of the road pics - no trailer! Chris, Next LARS will be 4 years, so I told the Mrs it's like the olympics - I have to go! We'll see, we're launching into a major house renno so, fingers crossed.
Tony, wow! The roadster turned out perfect. Has it really been 4 years since you were here? I missed you last time, hopefully I wont the next.
