The paint looks great, this is normally what you come across with a Speedster barn find, not much paint.

I stopped by to help Bill with another project and couldn't help but take a couple more pics. The Speedster is running/driving and awaiting its interior.

Period mag wheels, restomoded with a polished lip, all done by the 83 year old owner. New CN36s, too!

This car is beyond cool.

The next milestone will be taking it to the Novato Cars & Coffee. Hopefully in July or August.

In the yester-years, unless you had a German specialist flown in from Zuffenhausen...you would take your 4 cam engine over to Al Cadrobi in North Hollywood, maybe Harry Pellow (?) for major service or o'haul.
@Jeff Hail
I've heard of those American wheels called aka Torque Thrusters ....

@Maltese Falcon - Maybe I'm misunderstanding your comment but when I say period "mag" wheels, I mean: these are vintage American Racing magnesium wheels, the real deal from the '60s.

American Racing Wheels (U.S.mfg), super light magnesium , and I've come to know their style of this wheel as the Torque Thruster. The first sets (this design) that I've ever seen were on Mopars, Fords, GMs at the 3 local dragstrips I played at in late '60s; Irwindale, OC and Lions. When I started with the Stuttgart cars...never really noticed lots of them, probably because we couldn't get enough of the polished Fuchs (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I've seen Rolly Resos' 1966 911 at the last 2 Rennsport Reunions, in his mid-80's now. He's been rockin' his Americans for decades on his "R" tribute
