Thanks guys. Subtle because it’s a smaller ducktail and not as wide as the Mary Stuart collar but overall not so subtle yes lol 😂

You may want to tool up for those ducktails.. a lot of folks will want one. Very cool!

Dialing in vehicle height and bumper height in relation to each other and side rockers. Some additional adjustments are definitely needed. Feedback is welcome but know that some changes have already been made since these photos were taken. Rear needs to be a tad lower, bumpers need a little further contouring, softening and minimally an approx 1” extension needs to be added beneath the fender and quarters.

Will this car be getting side skirts?
I think cars with the bottom edge of the bumpers lower than the side sills/skirts look awkward. ___----------------____

Maybe room for improvement? I'm in agreement with chrisbalich on the when the front valance is lower than the sides that it can look askew at certain angles. However both my Targa and pickup truck with front chin spoiler currently suffer from this. I'm over it, and not a source of grief. Is the front lower valance chin spoiler made out of Divinycell? I've seen a whole hovercraft made out of Divinycell foam, amazing stuff, told it will hold a screw.

I will know sooner than later the outcome of both and will either proudly show you guys the results or be back here asking for your vote on which looks best. The bottom of the spoiler is just wood. The bumpers will ultimately be cast out of composite. |

Have you considered the Singer style bumper that Dave K. Sells? I have one for my car that I just purchased if you want to try on.

Honestly that would have been a better starting point than working from scratch as my overall bumper isn’t all that different from his however I do want my own bumpers on this build all said and done. There are some pretty cool details that you will notice once done that give it a different look, feel and aerodynamic. Thanks again for the offer.

How close to a 1971 Porsche 911 RSR Martini Racing tribute do you want to be nathanbs? The cars that followed the 1971 car in later years most certainly had the front valance lower than the sides, but in 1971 it was not so. 1971 https://germancarsforsaleblog.com/motorsports-monday-1971-porsche-911-rsr-martini-racing-tribute-revisit/ ![]() 1974 https://www.total911.com/tag/georg-loos/ ![]() What you built is very nice and original, I'm probably just over thinking it.

Had to take on the gauges myself as I couldn’t find anyone seemingly capable of doing what I was after. That will be revealed at a later date

Love to see your build. I'm 10 minutes away from Alhambra and need to test drive my carburetors after some jetting changes.
