Alex, thank you, I have some talent, but this is mostly checkbook talent!

WOW! Looking great! Excellent choice of colors. Albert Blue is the color I have chosen for my 911 repaint. One of my all time favorite Porsche colors. Refreshing to see it on a 904, also.
Keep the updates coming! |

Love this car... this is the only replica I'd consider seriously... one day....
Odd question maybe, but given the featherlite weight of that car, aren't you a little worried the 3.6 is a bit much ? I know, there's no such thing as too much hp per Mark donohue, but you might be dancing on the throttle all the way to 4th gear ! ;-) |

Greg,
I put the 3.6 in my back date. I'm currently building a 3.0 dual plug for the car.

Time for an update as the build is almost ready for drivetrain install. Kevlar rockguard and final frunk details:

Suspension all installed, but still needs calipers and few other bits to bleed the brakes:
