Ultimately, it's home and happy (pics)

Thanks to Series 900, Lori, Andy and Edgar for waiting, TRE, rdane, my wife (she's awesome) and anybody else who helped me with parts and or advice. I really love driving this car.

Nice ride. Your garage is huge. You really don't have to worry about anyone scratching your P-car in there.

Is that Petrol Blue?

Great look with the long hood. how did you handle the latch mechanism? Did you backdate that, too?

Yes, the back has an early style bumper.

Interior, is stock color for '78. I just cleaned her up.

Color, I forgot. I am using a short FG rod to kick the safety latch over. We are trying to come up with a system that pops a rod out when you pull the hood latch. But, the rod works fine.

Garage, yeah it's big, ya gotta have room to move.

Thanks, Chris.

Awesome looking early 911. Congrats.

I just noticed that the oil stain on the garage floor is at the wrong end of the car :-)

The oil stain is from the tractor that was it's spot warm. However, I believe the 911 will leave it's mark.
