Yes sir, Randy built a proper track car for you Craig, congradulations!

I was lucky enough to get hooked up with Mark, his crew and Jeff. These guys have the skills and the drive to build amazing cars from the rubber in, engines and trannys as well.

Most fun thing about this entire project was building exactly what I wanted, no compromise. The proof will be in the driving and if my better half enjoys the car as well.

Can't wait to find out just how we all did! Might actually happen this Sunday!

I hear ya, took the 930 home a few weeks ago to see how the other half likes it....she even said the full cage was EASY to climb over!

Now she's a KEEPER!

Well done!

If that muffler is mild steel, you may want to go to Performance Coatings .

Satin black from P/C is the answer on that one :)

...done right!

Dane,

Have you installed your 993 quarter window moulding yet, if so could you get a picture ??

What a Sexy Beast!!

Scott

Thanks Craig. I have reread your origial post a number of times to make sure.

Really excited about seeing the new dyno numbers as well.

Scott...next pictures (in a new thread) will give you all the details. If I miss anything I'll make sure to get what you are looking for, just ask.

People are going to be so sick of this car by the time I am done posting pics http://www.cowd.net/cowdmb/emoticons/faint.gif

Dane, no reverse lights?

No reverse light. Didn't like the cost ($60 more) or the look. I only plan on driving straight ahead...fast, Jeff:)

If I miss them I'll buy just the generic lens and wire them back in.

"People are going to be so sick of this car by the time I am done posting pics "

I doubt it. We all come here for vicarious pleasures. :)

I can't get over how incredible that paint looks. Have you decided a name for the color yet? How about Flippity Flop Blu.

Dane,, you're KILLING ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Thou shall not envy others... Thou shall NOT envy others!!!! I only have to say it 2000 more times! :)

FANTASTIC CAR Dane!!! simply awesome


-Eric

Thanks Bobby. Eric we have to get together so you can drive it :)

Made your reservation for SF yet?

Mercedes beat me to it. I now know they did the color recently just haven't seen the actual color code or name yet.

Dane,

That color is gorgeous. Your car looks awesome.

Just curious, I was wondering if there was any concern about taking all the rust coating (galvanized stuff) off? I wouldn't think so but others had mentioned it to me when I was getting ready to strip my car.

Well, you rained on my parade. I am going to hold off posting any pictures of my car for a couple months now (painting tomorrow). Any other car would appear blah after viewing yours. I started back in August and I don't see it looking half as good as yours.

Congrats,

David

David, thank you. You'll surprize yourself, trust me. All these cars turn out beautiful with new paint. There are dozens of them on the board currently going through the same process as I am.

Show us some pictures of yours!!??

Galvanizing? I understand the concern. Not really a worry with the new paints was my thought. The primer is a epoxy base that gives you a lot of protection just to have a thin layer of color to cover it. Most of the car that needs rust protection you aren't going to hurt unless you do a chemical strip that removes the galvanizing everywhere.

Gotta remember their are early cars with no rust proofing past their original paint still driving with little or no issues. I had to replace one section in the nose from a bad battery and my car is full galvanized '79 tub. Just takes some care and a watchful eye I suspect to make it another 25 years on this paint.

No way it will ever again see the abuse of the the last 10 years. I suspect it will need a respray or two before I sell it. But it will still be a better car than when it came out of the factory when I do :)

I don't understand....... you put in the rear strut tower RSR-style reinforcements, but then you *drill* them? Isn't that counterintuitive just to have an appearance of lightening the chassis?

Some times you just have to let the artist satisfy his creative bent. I do have a lightened chassis @ 2200#s so it isn't just appearences.

Towers are strong enough for my use. Mark (the builder) is a happy guy who has poured his heart and soul into this car and made it his own over the last 6 months. It is a win/win.

What some miss when dealing with guys this creative and talented is you need to give them a free rhein at times to build what they want. Some direction might be required but to get their best work you need to let them be part of the process and involved.

Which is why I have trick, lightened, strut braces and why Mark is doing the work, Dave ;)

I know Mark (main man on Dane's car), and Dane has hit this one right on. Give em a bit of leeway and the project turns out even better.

I build custom pieces in metal every day. My best work is when a guy gives me a check and says, "build what you think is best for this kind of money".

My customer doubles his investment with me when they make that request. I think I did better than that with this car and the money spent.

No queston it is the best experience I have ever had with a shop, communication and quality of work wise.

Mark and the entire crew at Eurotech are kindred souls when it comes to their passion, custom cars. I see it in their work. Everyone involved was excited to see the color go on and now the engine and interior going back in.

They are proud of their work and it shows in the end product.
