Old #7 is still alive, dusty but still alive

Hi everyone , Its proud owner of old #7 Ricky Smith. How the heck are all you Spyder junkies doing ? Its nice to know you all are still faithfully around. I haven't checked in a while heck probably since the web site had a different address. I happened onto OTHER site by accident, they don"t talk much about us over there anymore I gathered . Anyway ,thought I would say hi and let you all know I am still not finished ,mainly rolling chasis . Anything new about the Spyder ? How about a top, did anyone come up with one? Are we somewhere between 39 to 50 us out there still? Is there still interest in the car from time to time? My best to all of you and yours Rick Smith picked up my kit 11/19/2004

Hey Rick

Glad to see you are around I am the new owner of #34 and my name is Jim.
I am in the central florida area and the car is sitting in my shop waiting on me to get going. The previous owner pretty much had gotten to the roller stage and life got in his way.
Anyway looking forward to getting it completed in the next 12 months and having some fun. I have a mark 2 roadster that I built and currently enjoy alot but I can see that I need to keep them at oposite ends of the shop so there isn't a jealousy.

JIM

Body Ricky,

I'm currently building #24.

You can look at my build thread to see where I'm at with my build.

I need to update it because I've got a few things done that I haven't posted.


Jim, you can not use "Howdy" in your post because that is my "intellectual property".

Everybody needs to post current pics of their Spyder.

Paul
