I really like the way they are fabricating and modifying Matteo's rear chassis for the oil lines. I copied Patrick Motorsports in redoing my rear lines (picture below). I think it gains almost as much room, but is not as clean as Matteo's will turn out.
This is another example of superior solutions built into his car.

I had the same tires on my old 88 and had no problems.
I think it's due to the fact that we moved the oil tank forward. I had no issue with turbo rear flares, carrera trailing arms and 1/4 spacer. I guess your Lindsey will have a diff offset because of the turbo arms Also Doc is the man. I would trust him 100% (as I trust Keith and Aaron at Zuffenhaus). I am learning a lot through this built, I will give you a more definitive answer after I spoke to Keith (or he might just reply to the thread himself). |

Jim Calzia used the 944 wiper motor on his car -- it's one of the lightest known. He prob. put the wt. savings into his table - posted link on Early 911S bbs.
How long did it take to move the oil tank to the forward position? Got any more pics of the steps in doing it?

Thanks Len for the kind words....
Here are some more pics of the oil tank relocation...       I think this is it. If there is anything in particular that you wanted to see just tell me and I will ask Keith to shoot some more.... |

Im not a religious man to be honest, but I found this online, by accident, but I think it applies quite well...

Curious to see the oil line hookups to/from the cooler when you get there!

Luckily, I have never seen my neighbor naked, but I definitely do NOT covet his ass.

OK, this car is just getting silly now. I mean that in the nicest possible way.
I am really envious. I am certain this will be one of the coolest of these new "super-car" 911s being built these days.

Thx for the pics - lokking fwd to the Monday ones.
If you have an estimate of the # hours it took to do the complete oil tank relocation, including blocking off the old holes, I'd like to see it...

And on its way to get the powder coating done....
Again it will be Mexico Blue.  All in all it's been a long journey. I am really pleased with the results so far. The guys at Zuffenhaus are incredible. They not only have fantastic welding and fabricating skills but I love the fact that they came out with innovative and elegant solutions to the different problems we had. Apart from the obvious floor swap and G50-31 conversion I am really happy with all the other things done like lowering the seat rails, the oil cooling ducts, the easily removable custom made roll bar, the front tower camber towers and brace, the oil tank relocation... With Keith and Aaron we have been talking about a lot of other neat little things that are going to be incorporated into the final project... So stay tuned. Now it's off to the oven (10 days), then to the bodyshop for painting and overall finish and then back to Zuffenhaus for the re-assembly. Timmins is working of finishing the engine. We should be ready for the Fall track season...!!!!

After all this, I would have suggested placing the chassis on a frame jig just to confirm everything to be hung is where it should be. But great job nevertheless. Please do keep us informed.

Looking great!
Is the tub and exterior (roof, pillars, rear quarters) going to be powder coated and not painted? Seems like that would be very chip resistant, but maybe not as high quality a finish as paint (I'm no expert on powder coating). Just curious what is being powder coated? This is going to be SWEET! Kudows to Keith and Aaron, too. Doug

can't slip one by you eh? No the exterior will not be powder coated. Basically the car will be baked to polverize all the glue and stuff that is still attached on the tub. Then the powdercoating will applied to the interior, the trunk aerea, the engine bay, the underside and the rear wheel wells. The front fender will not be baked but instead media blasted. The exterior will be then painted with Glasurit 55 with the original Mexico Blue formula (the powder coating will be done with a matched by sample color) at a different body shop. |

You should see some of the their other works... Next time I go I will take some pics of a fab 73 RSR clone they finished before mine. Having said that I feel fortunate these guys are just around the corner... |
