May I introduce . . . . .

Frank,

Good for you, nice to have it finished I bet. I've got you beat though-I've been working on my 4A since 1997 and have bought and sold several cars along the way.

I only wish mine would turn out that nice. Beautiful. Hope it's not too nice to drive it.

-Pete

So....I think it is great. Did you finish the wheel in time?

JP, Yes that is/was your wheel and it got its last coat of gloss black 4:00 Wednesday morning!!!

I believe it is your wheel once it left here....it looks great on the car....a lot better location than hanging in my garage. I am glad it helped to get you past your 11 year deadline.....hope that mine doesn't take quite that long.

Frank - I just got back from work and saw your post.

Well done sir!

That is one fantastic looking (and driving!) TR.

And the pictures of The Grey Lady next to TS-1 ... well, I think TS-1 is jealous.

Congratulations!
Tom

What a beautiful Lady! Congrats!

I can only hope mine comes out nearly as nice as yours. I'm just over six years in mine and now I'm thinking of starting over. I hope your quality of work rubs off on me because I do have one of your parts on the car. I would love to get some close-up engine detail shots, and I'm sure others would also. Fantastic is all I can say.

Frank,

Just beautiful! I've been wondering how far along you were and now I know...

I think I'll aim for my car's 60th anniversary.

Absolutely amazing...

 

[Andrew Mace]

Gorgeous! But then I've always loved Silverstone Grey.

Question: are those Lucas PL700 headlamps? If so, are they considered correct optional fitment? I ask only because I'm so used to seeing period photos of TR2, TR3 and even early TR4 with the P700 headlamps!

Nice car great color combination. Just need a OSU Buckeye on it now.
My TRT3A project only took 7 years. Congrads!!!

Congratulations Frank - I'm sure you must be proud !

Cheers - Don Elliott

 

[tinman58]

Very nice TR3! It looks perfect!! GREAT JOB!!

 

[Don Elliott]

Great news Frank - I'm glad for you.

Cheers - Don Elliott

Randy: Galveston is quite a haul, but maybe.

I'll make a deal with you. You bring your car to Galveston this fall, and next year when I drive my finished TR3 to Portage, Pa, I'll meet you somwhere. -Just promise that my car doesn't ever have to compete against yours.

I'd love to see it/you at the convention.

Congratulations Frank. Looks great. Love the colour combination. It would be great to see detail pics of the car as it would be a great help to those of us who are still "in the midst". Cheers, Mike

 

[HerronScott]

I too love the color and makes me wonder if I should go back with the original Silverstone Grey versus Powder Blue although according to the BMIHT certificate my interior was Silverstone Grey as well so I wonder how that would look.

...The Gray Lady's final score was an outstanding 98.0

Totally beautiful for sure...but I've just gotta ask....isn't <span style="font-style: italic">anybody</span> else wondering about those 2 points?.... :crazy:

 

[M_Pied_Lourd]

Very Nice Frank. You should be very proud of that.

Cheers,
Tush

 

[TuffTR250]

I've been hoping someone would ask what the 2 points were.

A couple of the windshield stanchion screws' slots were oriented incorrectly.

Nice car great color combination. Just need a OSU Buckeye on it now.

Larry: Now I understand the comment re Buckeyes. You should be aware that most of the founding members of TRA are/were from Ohio. So, there were lots of Ohioans at the meet last week. At least three members mentioned the OSU color scheme!
