@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. ✌️ 😊

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~!
