Absolutely love the finished car, fantastic results!
One question I have, perhaps any other speedster owners could reply to, is when the roof is stowed, is there any luggage space left behind the rear seats?

1.Porsche duffel bag complete
2.Porsche duffel bag (side parts taken off)
3.17" labtop bag
4.DSLR camera bag
5.Side parts from Porsche Duffel
6.about 10 1 Liter powerade's (did i mention it is so hot here in California?)
7.misc. small items
After seeing how useful the rear is for storage without the RSD my wife (who is now in charge of the project
) decided she will not put one in. She will join the Forum soon and say hello after some of this Porsche Parade Craziness calms down...

After fun exchanges with Ben yesterday when he arrived on the west coast with his wife, he asked me to post pics.
What you don't see are the ones of his bride with unmistakable joy & surprise on her face. What a beautiful gift
Ben-- Awoke to see last night's texts: I'll call from the road in a few.
Enjoy everything you've accomplished; AMAZING what you've done on a compressed schedule while on the east coast

Thank you!
Thank you!!
Yes, please say hello!!))
Thank you!!
Thank you!!
That is really cool. One suggestion, since you did such a great job with the black and white you should do your wheel and hood crests in black and white by the vender on the site that hand paints them. I think it would look sweet...and the interior one in your console. Look forward to seeing it this week as we head up in the am.
up to the wife at this point Will you be at the Parade?
Thank you!
Thank you!!
Yes, see you tomorrow!!

Concours d'Elegance
Ok.... We are still exhausted.... we still feel like we are sleep deprived... but i will post some information. We entered the Concours d'Elegance to have fun. We met a lot of amazing people... you know, the ones that come up to you to help you.... i'm not talking about the ones that look at you and say under their breath "look at them.... they don't know what they are doing"...... we didn't, so what?
Anyway, 3 new friends that we met in the concours prep area (and one at the staging), helped us, came up to us.... and showed us techniques... and one of them even insisted on cleaning our top for us..... all won first place in their class!! That tells you a lot about people's characters... And all were so humble and couldn't believe they won! In the concours prep area, we met a lot of interesting people..... it was like a private party..... absolutely, amazing fun!
Here are the judges going over our car:
It was really exciting to see... of course... not fun to see when they put their hands in crevices that had dirt..... grease on the seat rail tracks..... misalignment of the center lense..... there was a stone chip somewhere on the front glass.... that took me 2 days to find!!.....wow!... they really looked at everything! All i have to say is that we scored 137.8 out of 140... and finished in 5th place in our class!!! and my wife and myself were soooo happy!! this was our first concours
Here are some more detail shots of the car:
How cool is it that the grill badge from the 2014 Monterey Porsche Parade matched our car!!
Interior Shots:
Top up:
There will be more to come... and more pictures....
