Steel wheels, center fill tank, seats, duck, lights, all looks great.

jax911 04-22-2007 02:45 PM

Very cool
great color, love the seats, I think I have a set of wheels you can borrow, just kidding.
We should hook up sometime, I'm on the cape.

Ferrari Guy,

It looks very purposeful - I love it. My favorite cars look like they were designed and built for a specific reason - not for the masses. Very nice.

Ferrariguyma 04-22-2007 03:10 PM

Thanks for the compliments.
 
There are a few more things on my list but all in all the car is pretty close to what I had envisioned. I wanted a short hood Euro Cafe' Racer.

Jax where are you on the Cape? I grew up and Sandwich.
Are you going to the Hemmings Import and Sports Car show at Lime Rock? A whole group of MA Pelicanites are caravaning down together and you are welcome to join us.

I WANT THOSE SEATS! Only in a red and black path.

Nice looking car.

klaucke 04-22-2007 03:39 PM

Those seats are fantastic! I have family on Cranberry Drive, I'd love to see the car next time I'm in town.

snbush67 04-22-2007 03:39 PM

Nice car, cool wheels, I applaud your taste and originality.

jax911 04-22-2007 03:55 PM

Limerock sounds great, I'll start the planning, could be my coupes first voyage, hope it is done in time, if not I'll take the targa.

mede8er 04-22-2007 04:54 PM

That's certainly not something you see everyday....good work....

ZAMIRZ 04-22-2007 04:59 PM

Looks pretty good, not too sure about the wheels.

I think a nice finishing touch would be to ditch the rocker panels and have it filled in and painted.

Ferrariguyma 04-22-2007 06:11 PM

I feel the rockers tie the front and rear bumpers well
 
plus they cover up the oil lines. I kept them on purpose. The wheels were chosen to have something other than the usual suspects on a short hood. I actually have the Factory hubcaps I have just not gotten around to putting them on.

rdane 04-22-2007 06:42 PM

Short hoods are cool and don't generally rust. Nice job! So stop being a tease and give us the details? Did you fill the fender filler? Fuel cell? Engine? Suspension? And I really like your seats.

village idiot 04-22-2007 08:41 PM

Who widened the wheels?? I love the look of widened steelies:D

yel911 04-23-2007 02:32 AM

Don't be fooled by the gas cap, it's just for looks!!! I've seen the car in person. Those seats are out of a Honda....
Love ya Andrew...

Ferrariguyma 04-23-2007 02:47 AM

LOL Moe, I shoulda gone that route!

BEAU-TI-FUL !

Crachian 04-23-2007 04:40 AM

I like it a lot. The detail that sticks out most to me is the mirror(s). Something round and small, like a Raydot, would look nice.


What switchgear are you using for the Marchals?
