Concours of America at St John's

[runner]

Great concours last weekend, showed Nice E9 in Post War European Class- 11 cars - 3 RRs -1 off special body, 2 Bentleys, 1962 Ferrari 250GTE, DKW 1950s, JensenFF,3 Mercedes (600, 220 Coupe, one off special body). Best in Class Lion Award! Lots and lots of people asking about it and comments. Sweet stuff, best yet.

Oh, more important, it ran purrfect on the 500 mile round trip from Columbus to Michigan, while the museum Mercedes, Bentleys, RRs, and Ferrari made it inside their trailers Thanks Don, for the new wheels!

nice stance too!

Pretty car and great stance, love the original wheels... you might consider adding the blackout behind the fender grills- cheap and easy but original.

Congrats. Do you have more pics of your car? And on another note- E911, what is the solution for black out behind the grilles?

Or you can make a set for about 2 bucks worth of satin black vinyl that you can buy at a plastics store like 'Signs Now'. They'll cut some off of a roll and you should have plenty left if you mess up the first couple of tries.

I've made two sets, one for mine and one for a friends. Mine have been on my coupe for fourteen years.

Runner - Regarding the fender grille stickers...

I went to FastSigns, and they said "$30 for a 8.5 x 11 sheet." Ouch. I went to a vinyl lettering place that primarily caters to boating. $5, and I was out the door with enough to make 3-4 from stencils. I created an accurate stencil in InDesign, and am happy to send a .pdf of it to you or anyone who wants to do this. Here is what it looks like after hand cutting with an xacto blade.

Great, that sounds perfect. Go ahead and send a .pdf. I'm not sure if I'll do it or not, but can decide later.
