Commission 006 delivered: a Gulf Blue Speedster goes home
Thirty-four hundred hours, an aluminium tonneau formed over a printed buck, and a handover drive along the Rio Grande.
Illustrative imageCommission 006 was the most ambitious bodywork we had attempted: a Speedster double-bubble tonneau, formed in aluminium, from a buck derived from a factory original we scanned in Germany.
The owner chose Gulf Blue over tan saddle leather and gold anodised trim. The combination sounds loud on paper and reads as quietly confident in person, which is exactly what he asked for.
Every commission ends the same way: a workshop walk-through with Juan Carlos, the build book, and a shakedown drive. This one ended at sunset by the river. We think the photographs speak for themselves.
