No, don't... I agree, it is a monstrosity! Not yours Gabe, the Japanese one

Just found this video http://videos.streetfire.net/video/EUROPEAN-HILLCLIMB_209514.htm

It,s a hillclimb in Oberhallau from 2005 and it has a 935 in it !

Cheers,

Ed

If you really want the best, talk to "Big Ron" Gruener at Jerry Woods Enterprises in Campbell CA. He put together Matt Drendel's 935 that won the concours at both Rennsport III and Amelia Island 2008. Here's an example of his work:

That would look nice - our car could really use something dark in the wheels - the shiny bits are....really bright ;-)

Thanks Nine17, I'll give them a shout. I saw the rest of Matt's collection, didn't see this one though, the 935's were out and about during my visit. That is one beautiful car you posted.

This Moretti/Joest 935 is not one of Matt Drendel's cars. I watched the build of this one from a bare shell -- it was sheer artistry. The Garretson Sebring-winning car Drendel showed this past year came out of Jerry Woods Enterprises later, also by "Big Ron." Also perfect (as the concours judges at Rennsport III and Amelia Island agreed). Your tribute car is going to be a lot of fun!

Any updates ? your fans are waiting ;)

Nothing much to report, the shop is getting the brakes zinc coated and calipers powder coated (hubs also getting zinc treatment) and they installed the Brey Krause B pillar brace system:

I have since decided to install a rear roll hoop and when the car gets to Zuffenhaus in the next few weeks i'll have more updates.

Brake Fitment prior to disassembly and coating:

You don't need to go to Big Ron or Jerry to get wheels done and pay their frieght.... there are plenty of guys who do wheels . I use Wheel Techniques in Santa Clara . Ask for Jeff or John. I would be surprised if you could not find someone closer to you .

Here is Matt's car at Jerry's with all the bosywork form my old Coca~Cola cars laying off to the left

Where are you guys finding the body parts? (fenders, wheels, etc...)

I got all my stuff from AIR for the 1975 RSR.

John Bishop at AIR in So Cal is great for bodywork.Good company .. for 935K3 stuff I have the only complete set of molds that I know of in North America

Hi Still looking great.

I have a question what is that zipper doing in the roof?

I can see it on one of the pics showing the BK brace.

Thanks
Jesper

To access the manual wind mechanism for the sunroof

Good move!

Hey Gabe,, I'd consider a full cage.. I LOVE watching my date climb in and out of mine (Britney Spears style if you know what I mean ):D
Good move on the roll hoop, it adds a sense of "meanness" like you need it LOL

Todd - oh don't worry buddy - there will be door bars just high enough to ensure pleanty of 'viewing' opportunity :) I need protection when I run the carbon/fiberglass doors.

Have you seen anybody putting foam on the 911 composite doors. I have only seen a couple of cars come back into the paddock (Sebring) with damage in that area but, the foam would work provide protection.

What about you Van?

Gabe,

Heres a good Carbon Door look:

Those are pretty sexy man - I'll post up when the carbon doors get installed, should look something like a cross between those and the original doors.

GDamn, that wing is outrageous!

Why's it going to Zuffenhaus? I understand they're finest Porsche craftsmen, their work lines my masterbatorium, but your car is already built, you not happy with a few things? Car is lookin brutal!

The boys at Zuffenhaus have a few things to tweek...nothing major though. Mainly working on the wing setup.

I love the shot with the rear tire setting on the ramp behind the car, it looks like it's two feet wide. I can't wait to see that car driven in anger!

Hotdiggity! The game is ON like Donkey Kong! Righteous broham _right_eous_!

I esp. love the dichotomy of The Prince of Darknesses' personal Spaceship on top of Donald Duck's Sunday picnic mobile below. Priceless. I've got similar pics of my bud's orange GT3RS under his green '47 MGTC on the lift below, but they're stuck on my smell phone (long story).

Zuffenhaus here it comes - and - ***more importantly*** - HERE WE COME! Yeah baby yeah!

Keep up the good werk. You can almost taste it I bet. Awesome.

I was thinking along similar lines; can just see Dick Van Dyke filling his bloomers looking in the rear view as this monster from Hell bears down on him and Julie ...

Finally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOW... it was almost too wide for the hauler.

We'll be waiting for it in CLT. When it gets here I'll test drive it for you and let you know how she feels, OK?............ :-)

This is so exciting!!! one step closer!! I just can't wait till June to see this beast in the flesh!!

Gabe, if that thing had been much wider it would not have made in on that hauler!! BADASS!!!!!!!!!

Tarheel .... You in for track day?

yes sir!! i just haven't been posting on the trip thread!! haha.. just kicking back listening to everyones nonsense!! but i do look forward to seeing some familiar faces and meeting some new ones!!!

Nonsense!!?? We call that Bravado!

when i say nonsense i am just kidding around!! most of everything that comes out of my mouth is nonsense!!

Gabe.. .sorry here i go hijacking your thread with true nonsense!! hahaha

Brad - no worries man, just glad you can make the track day! This thread is the virtual water cooler/coffee pot we all hang around at inbetween progress updates :D

Miguel - yeah man, the trailer will never feel the same after having the Blackbird in there :D

Paul/Brian - Haha you guys crack me up, as soon as I saw the pics I was like, wow, now there's two ends of the spectrum. Its just so strange to see her next to other cars.

MichiganMat: Why thank you very much!

AMAZING!

And SO glad you smoothed out the front fenders. The flatnose with the pop ups in place on page 1 looks so wrong.

Man, that car looks so right! I wonder if you are sure with the rear spoiler verticals... They look different I admit, but I didn't figure it out what woud be the point, especially now when your car is so no-nonsense hardcore piece with beautiful parts. They doesn't really spoil my enthusiastic enjoyment of seeing pics of your gorgeous car :D.

The end plates on the wing according to some aero guys (lost the name of the guy who came up with the calculation) will effectively increase the amount of downforce on the rear.

However that being said, the wing setup is going to change and that's one reason its going to Zuffenhaus in NC, the guys at Valley European in Cali did a great job but I want Aaron to look at a few things and make a few changes.

Stay tuned - its not over yet...
