This is one project I can't wait to see finished, Dane!

Not that the car was exactly lacking in any particular department before this facelift... ;)

Nice.

what are you doing for the front windshield seal? Anything extra? (being that the rest is going to be so "aero")

It seems PNW folk like colorful cars. Maybe because it's so grey and dreary most of the year? Remember this?

Last mods before the engine swap and a little color. Putting the final touch on the art work of Eurotech Bodywerks.


From a bright silver to a deep blue depending on the light
...going to be an interesting color. 10 diffrent pigments in the paint code mix.

Custom tow hooks and the rear strut brace for coil overs.

Lil' lightening holes in the strut gussets . . . and none in that chunk of flat bar (Custom tow hook) ?

it is a very thin, titanium tow hook Glenn ;)

:D uh-huh . . . and it's hollow too, right?


anyway, "coil overs" ? . .. from the looks of things, that will be one light ride.

I mean why coil-overs? I would think you could get plenty of stiffness out of t-bars (and keep the CG lower)

Light contrasts on the paint this morning. New word to me is the paint's "flop". This base color takes ten toners to make up the formula and has some serious "flop" ;)

HOLY CRAP!!!! That is beautiful!!!

Seeing paint that beautiful just scares me. If my 911 ever looked that good I don't think I could bring myself to drive it! The first bug to hit the bumper would make me cry.

:cool:

Holy (insert profanity) mary mother of...

That is really nice, stop building my dream car DANE!

Thanks guys! As you can imagine I am pretty excited to see the end result.

Here is the body just before one of the last sanding efforts.

Little problem with the new spring plates and my tweaked under body but that should be solved mid week.

Then an alignment and stoneguard to protect that pretty paint and a trip to the dyno with the new gear box and 3.6.

Two weeks and counting down now.Last decision is leave the 8/9 wheel combo or add 9s and 10s to go under those new flares.

Ya, I am excited..I admit it!

Dane nice to see the progress I will surely be glad to run you down in may!!!any dino yet?.love that color!!!

So Tooth, what ya driving?
