Hi,
I live in Chapel Hill NC and was wondering if there is anyone reasonably close with a Coupe that I could have a look at :)
Thanks in advance,
Fred

We don't have one t=right now, but we do have a Spyder. There is a coupe in Cary, and there was one in Chapel Hill. There is also one in Mooresville.

Hi Jeff,
It has been a while, hope you are well.
I actually checked your site first. There was a guy named Don Gold here intown with one. Can't seem to locate him.
I will keep an eye here and hopefully one of the ones you mentioned will speak up.
Thanks

Hey Fred-
Also in Chapel Hill, trying to convince the wife I can't live without a coupe!! Have you considered a drive out to Greensboro and Whitby's? I know they are alwaays working on one or more, and can probably give you lots to look at. Just a thought. Let me know if I can help with anything while I wait for my dream to come into focus!
Regards,
Steve

Hi Steve,
I have been to Jeff's many times actually, I figured he had to be sick of me dropping in, but it has been a couple of years now ... maybe I am due :)
He just posted that he didn't have any there right now but there will be cars there!
One of us will get one soon, I am hoping for Feb-March.
Cheers!
Fred

Hi Dave,
That sounds great! Nice car!
I don't often get that way but if the weather is semi decent in January I might just contact you and make a trip down. Maybe I will talk Steve into making the trip with me.
Cheers,

Fred-
You might be able to convince me to drive over there with you. I would love to get up close and personal with a coupe!
Let me know if you are thinking of a particular date, and I will check it out with the boss, aka the wife!!

Steve

Don't mean to hijack this thread but that is an awesome looking coupe Dave! I really like the whole package. Are you pleased with the longer term operation of the power windows? Would you share more details of the components and install specifics? I am also interested in your tire brand and sizes.

Thank's smithlw. So far they are working well. They are simple in that they run straight up and down on a track. The power window regulator is a hot rod flat window system I got from ebay,the window is tinted 1/4 lexan. They travel in the factory frame that was cut and extended down in the door. You build another door frame using original hinges & latch. The Rims are cobra R style 9"x17" on the front & 11.5x 17 rear. Tires are sumitomo 275x40x17 front & 315x35x17 rear. Thanks Dave
