An attempt to explain exactly what it is I'm doing in the garage all day . . .
Quarters are fit, now the waiting begins . . .
I am completely, utterly astounded when I go into the garage and find a car with doors and quarters. After three years without exterior sheetmetal the recent work is, without doubt, a step forward.
For those people who may be turned off by the use of 993 quarters on a 1968 911, I can only say that I like the flow of the panels more than flares, and it is still possible to use the '68 chrome trim pieces and quarter windows on the new quarters and I'm examining different ways to use either the original lights and modified original bumpers, an aluminum representation of a 993/1968 bumper or some other hybrid piece that would best represent the spirit of the original car.
Unfortunately, the quarters will probably need to come off when I decide to widen the wheel wells in order to fit some larger rubber back there (the panels aren't welded on but are pretty solidly attached). The quarters being on means that the suspension can go on some time in the near future; SM Racing has a shop full of cars right now so when mine will get on the jig is up in the air. It's a sacrifice I'm willing to pay in order to get the right person to do the job . . . but I sure would like to have a car that rolls again . . .
