Saw this nice one today ....
« on: April 21, 2015, 20:52:43 »
..... Not in person mind you, I came across it while visiting a web site in Michigan, I think I know the owner for the red one , in fact I think it is the one that rolled of the assembly line three cars behind mine. I look forward parking my blue one beside this red one at PUB 2015 for sort of a reunion. :)

I don't know the other two in the picture ... Perhaps some of you folks here do.

The way the cars are lined up makes it look like a Before, During and After restoration process.

Both hauser and Johnny are correct, it must be Michael's car, unless there is another one near him like the red one in the  photo.

Ron, get in touch with Michael Salemi (should you ever be in the area), he knows the people at the shop, last year when I was in the area he took me to the shop and we had a nice visit. They do nice work. When we were there the owner showed us two Pagodas, one being restored and another waiting to be refined.

Yes that's mine, taken when? I don't remember. It's at Motorwerks in Commerce Township Michigan where I get some work done. Must have been in for some kind of service at some point. The red, and the front plate are the give-aways.
