Hiya
Not that I'm in the US or will be able to participate in this, but it sounds like a
wonderful idea to me.
The only aspect that gives me the wobbly's, being a purist, is the thought of
spraying this car metallic gold! The idea of a gold plated Sprite badge on the
back in my mind is a much nicer idea and would look really good, as long as
the car was sprayed in a OE colour.
The only other aspect that would concern me, is the need for 'builders' to
donate not only their time but a financial investment as well. In my mind this
would put a lot off a lot of potential 'builders' who would be happy to donate
time, but not money.
An alternative might be to obtain 'sponsorship' from the many Spridget parts
suppliers/paint shops to donate parts and materials in exchange for free
advertising in the 50th Anniversary brochure or whatever. Someone would
therefore have to be appointed a 'sponsorship liasion' person responsible for
liaising with the various 'builders' and obtaining 'sponsorship' from the
various suppliers required.
Other than these two points, I think its an excellent idea, and sincerely hope it
gets off the ground and becomes reality.
