Off topic but a New Toy
Went to Carlisle and had a good time visiting with part of the Unique family and looking at all the cars.
Made a big mistake and halled another kit home to work on.

Nice choice Jerry. I have seen a few of them finished really very nicely.

Jerry,
The question is, when are you going to finish the first one[?][?]

Hi Rick
We "HOPE" to have the Unique on the road this summer even though the Spyder may be running first as it only needs an engine and transaxle.

Randy, No 6 cyl for now, previous owner has a 125HP 1915cc 4 cyl and 4spd transaxle.
(Maybe a Turbo kit so it can keep up with the Cobra)
Now when can I get a chance to drive out to Bremen,IN to pick it up.
Juan, I won't have that much in it, I hope.

Jerry,
If you are picking it up in Bremen, IN, then that sounds like the Hines. I knew they were doing the Beck Speedster, but do they have Spyders now?

Paul, No they are just doing the Speedster, as a turnkey only (I think) for now.
Kevin had only this 1 unfinished Spyder kit and doesn't plan on getting any more.

Looks like someone is going to get towed!
The sign says " COBRA PARKING ONLY"
Cool Car. I have a poster of James Dean and his Spyder at a fill up station before he wrecked was killed.
Does the kit have the same steering charactoristics as the original or is that designed out of it?

Yep Tony, going to move the cobra chassy up here and take the spyder home before Greg evicts it.
I've never driven a "real one" but I'll let you know how this one steers.
