Posted by: Wayne Oct 28 2020, 10:00 AM
Thought i would share the end results with everyone on the World. Many of you have helped me source parts to complete this car. A special thanks to Jim, Kent & Bob for finishing the assembly over the last couple months. I'm stoked on the end results and couldn't be happier. These guys know these cars inside and out.
Also a Big thanks to Scott and the guys over at 914Rubber for all your help
Time to enjoy it

Congratulations Wayne! Jim, Kent and Bob definitely know their stuff. They are masters when it comes to our little cars. I hope you will now drive the heck out of it so people can enjoy seeing a BumbleBee in the wild.

I agree.....can you provide us with some suspension details? Beautiful car!
Posted by: Cairo94507 Oct 28 2020, 01:14 PM
They look good low. I saw it in person the last time I was at Jim's and thought it was low then.

I love the stance also however that was me just eye balling it. It goes to Alignment next week so we'll see what Darin at West End can do. I like it lower but not sure if he can keep it this low. I have Bilstein Sports on all 4 corners. I'll post a finished stance phote when it's done.

It was a Major project. I have another Bumblebee that's a major if you're interested let me know. It's matching # and i have a COA.

Wow, major ? did you have to work on the longs or hell hole. What was the worst part of the restoration if you don't mind sharing? I find it interesting bringing them back to life.
Posted by: Blue6 Oct 28 2020, 11:05 PM
Wayne,
It really turned out nice. I’ll be looking for you and your brides smiling faces as you cruise around town...

I keep coming back to this post to admire the exterior, extremely sexy, the color contrast even gives her the illusion of a slimmer midsection.
I also would like some details of the restoration experience. What was the hardest thing to source? Most frustrating? Engine specs?
I did a resto mod on a DATSUN and swore to never attempt something like that again, it took too much out of me, LOL, but of course it was worth it.
Again, congratulations on a beautiful restoration. Looking forward to seeing some action photos.

They definitly look best low and slightly nose down.
It becomes a compromise between stance and achieving livable alignment at the
extremes of adjustment.
What a beautiful car ! Great job.

Very well done, love it. Better than new no doubt.
