Red-tailed Duck...quack Quack QUACK!
 

Got her back from my paint guy today. I need to put on the rubber levelers underneath and put the Carrera insignia on (in the traditional '84 location), but she came out sweet!

Ed, it looks great. The duck flows very well with all the polished bits, much better than the Carrera tail with all the black.

Ed, where in Dallas did you get it painted at? Did they match your paint well?

Axl: Jack's Paint & Body in Carrollton-these guys are great. It's a custom color from the factory, and their paint supplier cringes when he has to match it, but I've had it in twice now after they painted it 2 years ago, and it looks good each time. They did blend in the quarter panels as insurance. The paint was almost twice what the tail cost.

Looks great Ed!

That looks very nice.

very nice, Ed. Who did the paint? The SC might get a much deserved duck down in Texas as well.

Looks really cool!

'84 Carrera?? Or is that a '74 Carrera?? I'm so confused! http://www.vintagebmx.com/ubb/confused.gif

great it took so long to post my question that you already answered it for someone else.

It doesn't look like you run air conditioning unless you just haven't gotten around to reinstalling it. Either way, have you upgraded it if you do have it, or do you get by without it?

Ed,
Gorgeous car, but then again I'm partial to red targas!! The polished fuchs and the stainless targa bar look great together!!

Man that looks awesome. I would vote to leave the Carrera insignia off. It's tough to screw with perfection.

Gorgeous Ed!

Brother: I do have A/C, but am in the process of a delete. I didn't put the rear condenser in, and I think I'm going to pull the front one and the condenser, leaving the lines in place.

Steeve: I'd thought about leaving the badge off, but I think the Carrera badge is "keeping it real".

Tail look s great, but with or without it, Cherry Rot rocks.

Ed - Post a old picture with the full polished fuchs and the big tail for comparison - I really like what you have done with your car!

I don't know what your driving habits are, but I guess you think you can get away with it in Texas.

I currently don't have a functional AC, and I'm thinking about adding a kuehl system when I move down there. Is the top off the best air conditioner out there or is this becoming a track car?

That looks great fit.

Brother: I've been thru 3 Texas summers with no A/C-who needs it?!

Ed:

I really like the look of your 911 with the new ducktail. I think it is a big improvement over the Carrera tail and the stock lid.

Your car is absolutely devistating!

I am eventually going to have to add a duck to my car too. But, first I have to get it lowered, aligned, and corner balanced...
