Much as the Speedster 50th Anniversary Event of June 25-27, 2004 was the ultimate gathering of Speedsters, the official book that documents the event in images and text is the ultimate Speedster picture book.The major events of the weekend are presented in superb images. Under headings such as The Tribe Gathers, Vroom With a View, and Force Field of Dreams, Edwards sets the theme for each collection of photos in eloquent prose. Heinrichs, in a continuing quest for accuracy, comments on the number of Speedsters and Convertible Ds produced, how many of the first 200 Speedsters were finished in 1954, and how many Speedsters had 1954 model year dataplates. He also examines how many Speedsters had the original side script and the controversy surrounding the Speedster D side script.From the pre-event presentation of Porsche #1 and Speedster #1 at Bernardus Lodge to the grand display of cars at Quail Lodge, the event comes to life once again. The cars, the camaraderie, and the spirit of the event leap off the pages. Between the covers of this marvelous new book, you can relive this once-in-a-lifetime event. 12" x 10" landscape format. 332 color photos..

The old Irish Mail zooms back with a new look. Back in the 1960s (and even before then), youngsters whizzed along sidewalks on hand-powered speedsters called Irish Mails. Here's an updated version of the classic rider you can build for some lucky boy or girl. To provide you with a clear picture of what you'll receive when you purchase one of our shop-built downloadable plans, we've provided a brief summary of all the elements that this electronic plan includes:
1. Professional color photography of the finished product taken after we've finished building the project ourselves in the WOOD(r) magazine shop. You can even zoom in on the screen to see those little details.
2. For a clear idea of how our projects go together, we provide an exploded-view drawing with helpful details. All drawings are done professionally by our own staff off woodworkers/illustrators.
3. Large color photos and step-by-step instructions show exactly how we built the project in the WOOD(r) magazine shop. We build each project ourselves to work out any bugs before you ever get the plan.
4. Detail drawings and step-by-step illustrations provide necessary dimensions and machining processes you'll need to make the building process as straightforward as possible.
5. For error free construction, each plan includes a bill of materials; a cutting diagram; a detailed supplies listing; and, when necessary, a mail-order buying guide for hard-to-find hardware.
6. Parts-view drawings are used to dimension individual pieces to guarantee your building success..
