Reaper 935 'RSR' Project - Page 4

Jim can also tell you that pretty much whatever bodywork , wing ets you get will
need to be fit. I used the GT stuff on a 73 RSR I did 10 year ago .. lots of work , Jim and I use a friends molds that are the factory ones for the Sachs K3 .. a budy just got the overlay and *****ed like crazy about the fit . He had to do a splice and some work to make it right but that is the way it is ... In contrast to GT , AIR is THE company that made the 935 stuff back in the day inculding the M16 body on one of my 935's that is also on Jim's 935 , The Miester 935 and the Hi-Tec/Pepe Romero 935 from back in the day . No mater who you get it from it is going to need to be messaged so my suggestion is get who ever has the wing you like the best

Van, that's why I went with AIR stuff, not to mention just about NO ONE makes the slant fenders from the factory style moulds etc. I'm thankful to John Brewer at AIR for the help and service for still making stuff that isn't the most popular look.

One thing is though, despite the b*tching and moaning the body guys did about the panels, they liked the rear quarters and said they fit like a dream.

So what's new with this beast??

Reaper930 · 12-17-2007, 07:47 PM

Brackets are being fabbed up for the front bumper for a more solid mount and the finish work before primer is being done. I'll have pics in a week or so

Its the holidays so we're going slow as the guys at the shop are getting a ton of stuff done and this is not the #1 priority.

I've learned to never rush a body guy...

If you are truly interested in the AIR body pieces and want the real skinny on them give a call to a body guru, Kevin Mentzer at Automotive Innovations and Restoration. He used to work for them and a couple other heavy hitters back in the day. He did the paint on my father's car and it is damn beautiful. He can shed some light on things and also give you a real insight as to how "well" fiberglass parts match up.

She's going into paint next week, and by the way - THESE are hips

. I just can't wait to get the wheels under her.

Note: Gutters have been shaved and boy does it look great! Louvers will be cut before painting.

Good to see progress!

Great pics.. is that a 350 Z nose on the laying on the front of your car?

Reaper930 · 12-20-2007, 09:55 PM

Probably

the shop is nothing but Porsches, but the body shop does a lot of custom stuff for all different makes.

Looking good Gabriel ! man that car is wide ! i,m sure i woulden,t even fit in my garage

Cheers,

Almost forgot, for the paint we're doing a regular PPG black base coat with a D2061 Flexed& Flat clear coat. Something like a 20% clear mix to give it just a touch of shine to yield a deeper black.

Thanks for the kind words guys

Rory Mckenna · 01-02-2008, 08:18 AM

There has to be some new pictures by now! hahah Please!

DPHANS · 01-04-2008, 04:02 AM

Do I have the same project?

Reaper930 · 01-04-2008, 04:11 AM

No, you have a DP prepped car with a higher belt line, rain gutters and smaller rear fender flares (the 935 early flares will fit 15" wide rear rubbers).

My body doesn't have rocker panels, front fenders like yours as mine is a slightly modified 1976 935 replica.

Looks like an interesting project though.

DPHANS · 01-04-2008, 10:26 AM

Yes;.You are correct. This is an original DP935 that went to be a winter project
_I found out that the original color have been Orange. And now it will be back to Orange. No more "Pimp red"
I also have an picture on my other DP 935 TT, the gear stick can be an ideé
to your fantastic project

That's a Kremer! I love those cars.
More info please.

AngM018 · 01-04-2008, 12:36 PM

I almost pulled the trigger on this:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=008&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=180200515791&rd=1
For a replica Kremer build up, but then realized it was more pain then it would be worth, and I dont have the room in my brownstone's tiny 2-car garage.

I have promised myself one of these cars one day, but will need to upgrade my living situation first. Keep the pics coming of the 935, Kremers, and DP cars!

John A: My thoughts exactly! Saw this one listed earlier in the week.... though the last thing I need right now is another project!

Jeff Alton · 01-04-2008, 03:38 PM

That car is local to me, and the owner has offered it to me. I am pretty sure I can get cheap, but I have no where to store it.....

Cheers

Reaper930 · 01-04-2008, 05:54 PM

I'm jealous of your DP's! And yes I'm doing something similar with the shifter setup - but it will be more 935 inspired as finding those integrated consoles are near impossible to find (and adapt) to the Hargett Shifter.

Start a thread and show us the resto project!!! So many here will love to see it.
