@MerlinsOldSchoolGarage is building his 550 Porsche Spyder kit car replica and he has not done much to it yet. There is much more fabrication and mock up to complete before he can proceed with gluing the fiberglass. He has special plans for this car so he will need to take speed and racing into consideration while completing this build.
Thank you for watching.

Cool wedding, congratulations to the Bride & Groom! Merlin, your new projects are always a pleasure to watch! I don't know if you call this Porsche a kit car, it won't be when you're done modifing it! Anyway whatever you call it, I have no doubt it will be exactly what to want it to be! An eyestopper for sure! Catch you on the next. ✌️ 😊

I've not bought a number of fiberglass kits over the years just because of the terrible build, alignment and over poor quality, obviously one can't really tell from the vid, but, this kit appears to fall into the avoid category unless you're someone like Merlin.

It will be a solid, well built car that should give you and your wife lots of fun going to cruise inns ! I remember when I was young, a girl I knew, her dad had an original Porsche Speeder back in the 60's. Wanted it bad but didn't have the $700. that he told me he would sell it to me for! LOL! Those were good times! Thanks for a great video! P.S. That's a way better chassis than the original! Keed up the good work~!

I just had a thought . Put an Olds. Toronado front end in the rear works better on a volkswagon van but you might be able to or maybe a lot newer a 3500 impala front end in the rear that little car would really scoot . The Toronado front end I saw was in a van and he had wheely bars . Two stage adjustable , He had a 350 instead of a 455 ,nearly wrecked it the first run air pressure was so great at 150 it popped the windshield in. He repaired and strengthened the front body but never went that fast ever again, his arm and shoulders hurt like hell for a couple weeks. He mainly popped wheelys withit in parades, he got a drag rail frame with a 400 chevy V-8 and a 400 turbo-hydro with slicks and a shortened front so he could weld a beetle body on it. My car was taking more of my time and I lost track of him after awhile but was able to ride in the beetle, at 90 mph the front fenders started flapping like wings.The guys last name was Upper and he acted like it.
