Won 2nd place at Werks Reunion Monterey

Well I had a great day! My first 911 and first time building a hotrod. Took second place in the "Sports Purpose" Class.

Werk in progress

Well done. The car is looking good!

But do take care. I see some homeless, old hippy looking guy, has his eye on your car

You can't beat a wide body. The dish on those wheels is epic. Enjoy the moment.

Congratulations! The Lexus Atomic Silver looks so good on your 911. Reminds me of Martini liveried silver of the 1974 911 RSR, only more better.

Funny thing. My wife asked me why was that homeless guy standing next to my car. During the interview they were discussing the the blacked out chrome trim and when it appeared in '80. I yelled out it's a '74.

Thanks to all for the positive words.

Congrats! Do you have some better photos of your car? It's hard to see much in the partial shots
Edit: I see you linked your build thread, very cool!

Second on more clear shots of the car, I've long been an admirer of Atomic Silver. Pleasantly surprised to see it on a 911....
