BB2 Sneak Preview
Just a quick look. It's covered with dust from color sanding, and pieces are being loosely fitted, but...
 ...it's getting closer. The frustrating part is that it's getting work done on it as I type this, and I'm stuck at my computer on a deadline.  My priorities are clearly all out of whack.

Jack,
Do you have any engine mods planned to squeeze a little more juice out of that 3.6? Was it out of a 964 or 993? I'm sure it is a strong runner now, just curious if you are looking for more HP. The music from a really big set of carbs would go nicely with that body. Paul |

Jack,
BB1 was the best looking, most proportionate 911 I'd ever seen. BB2 is going to best it. Just awesome. Mark |

Kevin and Tyson are both incredibly fast, and (borderline) compulsive about details and getting the job right. They have also both shown incredible dedication to this project. Guys like them are not very common in any industry. BB2 is the result of my finding the two of them (and a small handful of other key players -- Dave at TRE, Peter at Rennspeed, and others).
The car may very well be out on the track next Wednesday.

God, I can't wait to terrorise Brentwood or some similar 996 enclave w/ that thing, and me burning tires to keep up. Yup, that'll be fun.

Have you installed the under-carriage neon lighting, yet?
 That puppy is as far from R-I-C-E as you can get! Awesome.

You should get a discount. You wrecking your car could be the best thing that ever happened to Kevins future business. He couldn't buy exposure like this for his shop. Glad he was up to the challenge and the scrutiny.
