Although form & function are working in this build (eyes of the constructor)...one can never expect a $ for $ return on investment on something so 1-off. In my first shop (Culver City near Paramount Studios) I would take on any project that came in the door...needed work to buy shop machines. A guy drove in one day in a Kelmark with a 2180 type 1. He was in the music biz...wrote music for bands like Tommy James & Shondells. He wanted his gull-wing Kelmark turbocharged, so with cash in hand the deal was made. Fast forward to test-drive day; my partner and I driving on a nearby freeway about 65 mph. Then he punches it and it hits 90 in a flash, the gull wing door locks fail on both sides, doors fly up, so we are now trying to grab the doors. Fighting the wind and the lightweight car starts darting over lanes , finally at about 30 mph on the offramp the doors settle back down. Needless to say the car was potent ...
But I'll never drive /nor ride in a kit car spiritedly again ! Just something else to consider on custom kit cars (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) ![]() |

We had a 356 speedster wide body with a turbocharged vw engine come into the shop. We had to get the engine running. During a test ride in the industrial park, at about 75mph, it started getting really squirrelly. Owner hit the brakes and the car spun off the road.
A couple months later I saw the car for sale at Hershey. |

I saw this and was speechless. The amount of time and effort spent to do this must have been enormous. I just can't figure out why?
