A friend here in Jacksonville built a 550 using state of the art bonded/riveted aluminum over square tube chassis with full double wishbone suspension (copied geometry from Van Dieman FF) Hewland MK9 gearbox with inboard rear brakes (more FF stuff) and twin Webber 2.0 type 4 engine. Finished it off with custom made adapters that looked like the original Porsche drum brakes and 356 wheels.
GEEEEORGEOUS!
I saw it one time.
I must ask Tom if he's been around or if the Navy moved him off to never land.
He was a GS at NAS Jax.
