    HMMM. Keith gets all the miles. Bob gets all the smiles. Seems a little lopsided to me. I guess if you're the boss...

    now why is Voodoo going on the bench? Why not just drive it?

    I guess this is part of the (sort of) staying in TX.

    The "sort of" referred to conceived by a Texan, born in Germany and delivered to Texas.

    It's going on then bench to verify its square and to keep it that way while remediating the rust found in the rear seat pan. There were a few items Al did not want to take on so off the fearless boys in Monroe.

    While I do get my full quota of grins, this turnaround might not be high on Keath's grin meter he will get his share on the shake now runs.

    Yes, Factory. Just removed the cinder block and installed a rotary on the original factory mount off the engine carrier.

    When Keith delivered my GT3 for the trip out to RRV and the Escape to Rushmore he picked up VooDoo to take back to the shop for some rust repair and to check square on the Celette.
    Here are a few shots Keith took in the shop in which he caught a bit of VooDoo waiting.

    While not an update on VooDoo this is a find for her future home at Jack Griffin's, Garages of Texas at Willowbend, collector car condominium garages project.

    This should go well with the Porsche dealer sign, thank you Craig!

    First the Porsche sign then the new Gulf sign.

    It has been a while since I updated this thread, not much has changed since the car got to Zuffenhaus. Since I am in town for a visit here is a visual status update.

    ....and this is why VooDoo has to wait, even with two benches only one set of early fixtures.
