Small update - got the exhaust finished.

So I think the exterior items are pretty much done. I might toy with adding a small windscreen on the drivers side.

On to the interior...

You were born with a superior Speedster gene. Sure looks good.

Old MG's had a small foldable half moon race wind screen that would look right at home. About 6" tall and about 12" wide.

THANK YOU!! I've been trying to figure out what the heck these things are called and find a supplier. I was about to order a Model A wind wing and adapt it, but this is much better.

Prices are all over the map - over $200 at some places. Found an Altanta co that sells them for $85! Sweet.

Roofus is going to get something similar, but they won't be store bought.

Speaking of windscreens....

Yo BI--Likein the exhaust.. I was just shopping some fishtail exhaust tips on eBay yesterday and found these--about $20 shipped--would add a little extra to the ride.

Those are pretty cool, but I like the plain look.

Finally a nice day - rolled it out and took some exhaust noise video! Also got my fog lights on.

Wow! It sure looks great outdoors. Looks smaller. Sounds like an old speedster too.

 

[rainman]

Looks great, I may have missed this on here, but do you plan on painting it or leave it raw? I would vote leave it, maybe clear coat it or something.

 

[Gastrick]

Awesome job. It looks and sounds real good to me. Also, neat photo Sam Fear.
