hi harold, search for the "ultimate backdating thread", that has all the pics and info you could ever want on doing this type of stuff.

here is a couple we did- one's an SC , the other a 74 S- guess which is which

[1974carrera]

I'll play! The black one is the SC and the white one is the '74S. Are those opening vent windows on the white one?

[epbrown]

Also the white one doesn't have the Carrera flares, so that's the '74.

Crome trim window = 74 Im betting that it is harder to change out the trim then it is to "unlfare" the imposter

Is this something that is easy to do?
1973 style bumpers etc. on a newer 911.
I have never thought of this but I would love to
build one like the white rs.

the easy way is to remove the reflector support in the rear- sawzall with a fine blade. then find the front end pieces- fenders , hood, turn signal assemblies and vent grills. We've had black trim deanodized then polished. its a pain to reanodize correctly since the steel threaded inserts and other steel hardware are not compatible with the anodizing process, so polishing is good enough when you wax the parts once a month. On the front, all the parts install , but the latch set up is a problem- you can buy an early panel and receptacle to weld in or for less expense live with rubber tie downs. If you are artistic with metal you can delaminate the under part of the steel hood and weld it into the early car- preserving the later latch set up- but that is not as easy as it seems- lots of labor to do it nicely. Problem with rubber tie downs only is lack of security with what's in the trunk. so you choose
The white car was a turbo bodied 74 S and the black one is the SC.

TRE Cup, do the vent windows on the white car open? Kinda looks like it in the pic.
Thanks.

[TRE Cup]

no they do not open- just a reflection from something else. the trick frames to find are from a 68 S. they are aluminum with opening vent windows. others were brass and quite heavy

what's the story on the exhaust on the black one? Street legal?

[hkspwrsche]

Doubt it but I'd love to hear what it sounds like. CAn they record it (still have the car?) Very interesting.. can you get those mega phones still?

not street legal, but the client has gotten away with it for several months! we've modified it some since then- installed headers, support bracket, and new megaphones- he still drives it that way on the street. Maybe Jack O can help out with recording some of these cars and post them here
We made the megaphones for the street heat exchangers- so yes, we can make more
