Driven, not polished
I'm at a point in the build-up of Diane's car that I thought it was time to roll it out and take a pic. RUF front & rear caps (964 "smilie"), AIR IROC decklid/tail. rockers deleted/mounting holes welded. R taillights, 16x7 and 16x9's reanodized by Al & Diane Reed, new Potenzas and other goodies. mikez made some custon "positive" Carrera graphics in silver to match the wheels with a single pinstripe underneath, but they are not on yet because I smashed my left hand last night working on the car (going to be hard playing bass without a little finger until I can move it again)...had to trim just a bit of fiberglass up front this morning because the front tires were catching a bit on turns (cutoff wheel/mini sawzall)...Hope you like the pic, more to come as we progress...(yes, it WILL be lowered). Cheers!

Thanks Smitty! Yeah, she's still wanting to sell the G35 to get a 993 cab
 Here's a "butt view" I think you'll like as well...(Rather than going with "side" lights for the plate, I used those "Lite 'N Boltz" that I've seen on street rods. The lights are in the plate mounting bolts. Pretty slick... Cheers!

Wow, looks great. Wondering about your choice of tail; any reason you didn't go with a fiberglass Carrera tail other than looks?
Love the rockerless look as well. Eric

Eric,
I went with the IROC rear for a couple of reasons: I wanted it to be a bit different than our other '86, I liked the idea of a 1-piece tail/lid, did not want a ducktail, and I just could not pass up the great deal I got on it

Cool.. Was just wondering. I also like the IROC tail... Great looking 911. Please post some pics when you get the script on her.
Thanks. Eric
