Well, she is really starting to look like something. Just a little too late for New Years :D

That car looks fantastic. I love the look of the S front bumper, especially with the burzel.

Dang, you really made some progress!

I see the H1's are on, and new turn signal lenses and grilles.

Looks like your front bumpeer needs some trimming though. or maybe you can black-out the extra material on the bottom, since it is probably benficial.


Man, she's just dying for some graphics!

Is it ready for a Mulholland Run yet? ;)

Tyson, see what happens when the wife goes out of town for a few days!

Not yet, David. I need to figure out a way to incorporate some landing lights on it. :D

Beautiful! :)

Looks great Jeremy. Hopefully I will see it next time I am down for some work.

The car looks great! What size tire are you running F/R?

that is a terrible looking car my friend ;)

reminds me of "moby dick," all white with nothing on it, very cool!!

When i came in this morning, i looked over the lot and wondered " Hmm.. nice looking RS clone- haven't seen that before!":D :D

Thanks guys!!

Those are 15 x 7 and 8 with 225s front and rear.

What do you guys think about leaving the hood crest off??

Why not a hood crest sticker like the real ones (I forget what models actually had the sticker, RSR??)?

I think it looks naked without one.

Beautiful. Classic and clean. You almost want to leave it looking exactly like that.

Jeremy, I have an idea.

Keep in mind I've had a few beers at this point.


Remember the "Pink Floyd The Wall" album cover? Complete with the Gerald Scarfe characters from the liner.

If you do that, I'll do my black car in the "Dark Side of the Moon" livery.

LOL!!!

Ver nice looking car, Jeremy!!

Wow, she looks nice Jerm.

Get the silver hood crest that's optional on the 996, that'll look sweet.

Thanks again guys. I tend to agree with Jack, and dare I say, kind of like the black centered wheels - ducking from Tyson :D

However, since graphics were mentioned. I was poking around looking for 1972 racing livery which had a base color of white and came up with the 917-10. Some of you have heard my musings on Brumos style stripes. Well how about a combonation of Brumos style stripes, with this color scheme:

I could run a black mirror too.

That could be very cool, if done right.

Dang that's nice! You're just making me jealous now... ;)

JC

wow!! that thing is moving along. I hope you'll have her ready for rgruppe this spring, scruffy 1 will be there... so stay away from the beers so you don't scream at me again! ;-)

seriously bro, looks good!

Thanks Porsche911girl, you are obviously a woman of taste :)

James, I only yell at you when you are going to do something terrible to Scruffy :D

Tyson, stay off the sauce, it is clouding your judgement.

So I take it you're not a Pink Floyd fan. :(



BTW, I like the black center Fuchs on your car.

I'd go for the pyramid/prism -- not the crazed scream....

Totally sober, and still thinking about my black car with a Dark Side of the Moon livery.

Am I crazy?

(no pun intended)

OF course!

But the paint job is not a bad idea.

I am a Pink Floyd fan, just not such a screaming-face-on-the-hood kind of guy. I could see Rob doing it, but not me.

I am considering red houndstooth seats like Curt Egerer's car. I think with the 917-10 thing that would be pretty wild.

That 917 style would look great. Red, Black and white, it doesnt get any cleaner/bolder than that.

>>>I was poking around looking for 1972 racing livery which had a base color of white and came up with the 917-10. <<<

Hmmm, why hasn't somebody done that before? There're some real possibilities with that livery! I think I'd try to incorporate the same type stripes somehow - maybe even a single stripe down the middle - rather than the Brumos-style. We need a resident photoshop expert for times like these ...

Is this what you mean when you say Brumos style?

One of my previous projects -- back in the 80's when slope was OK.

inspired by the L&M 917.

good job Jeremy! It'll look good in front of Starbucks on Sunday @2:00

Jeremy -- what kind of camber are you running in the rear?

looks great. Is that gran prix white?

Thanks for the kind words guys. I was thinking of the stripes on the side like the 73 RSR. However, I do like the idea of one big red stripe like that slant-nose. I would probobly do thinner black stripes.

I have not set the alignment yet, but it looks like about 3 degrees negative

I am not sure about the color, it was painted when I got it. It does look like GP white, but it may change with more waxing.

Thanks Jeremy. That thing is *****in.'

Are you going to add the smaller rubber hood straps to the hood and bumper? I was wondering how they'd look with a clean S Bumper.

The car looks great Jeremy! Thanks for the tip last night. Next time you'll have to take the covers off it and let me see it for real.

Oh, and landing lights would be awesome!

For the Pink Floyd fans, you could buy this jersey to compliment your fresh livery:
