Shipping will take place very soon...with in days. My builder has informed me that the car will be ready to ship. Car should be arriving around 1st of March. While a replica is far from the real thing, the overall effect is the same. The original spyder weighed approx., 1200 lb. with a 120 horse power engine. My replica on the other hand will have 1200 lb. with a 160 horse power engine, should be fun to drive.
Anyone interested in the plight to spyder ownership, it is a long, long journey with little fun during the wait process....all I can say. After I receive the car I will post about other fun things like getting one of these registered, that sort of thing.
