    Update on our Slate/ Red 67s and welcome a new member of our family...

    Our Slate Grey/ Red/ sport seats etc 67s is about 30 days from being done (God,Tony and Marco permitting).

    Overall the car is coming out as expected considering the fellas doing the work. Simply beautiful. Its been a complete restoration with literally nothing going untouched. No short cuts, everything restored to the highest level. All the details are going to be right. Its the little details that have made this project so much fun. I have already had several inquiries about selling it. Honestly, I am undecided.

    We finally found a near perfect 89 Speedster...4k on the car. Had it out today and was stunned how nice an all original low miles car feels.
    I have owned/ sold many cars costing significantly more than this Speedster none of which offered the overall experience. A keeper for sure.

    Hopefully the pics work:

    Thank-you kindly. Its been a labor of love...and patience. We didn't cut any corners with this restoration. We started this project with one goal in mind..as close to perfect
    as possible. Setting the bar high did add a lot of expensive. We went with NOS or reconditioned OE parts for 99% of the car.

    The color combo exceeds my expectations. Really beautiful especially considering the work John E did....

    More pics soon. Hoping to make our way back to Cali soon.
