Man, those are ugly shots. I should have not posted this. Somehow all proportions are skewed due to the camera. I know it will look cool in the end.

Milt,
I think it looks great! Looks like you've gone through at least one spool of welding wire, and there's likely another to be used up before you finish it.

It maybe rough, but I think everyone views you as a perfectionist (how ever you spell it). If I every decide to ditch my turbo body style for a RS type, I'd love to use your bumpers.

BTW, are you going to paint it yourself as well?

I'm looking forward to see the next step with the air duct placement. So many options...

Thanks,
Matt

Milt, thanks for the updates! You da Man! I love the front, can't wait to see with scoops/grills, whatever, it looks great! I want one and I'm betting the rear will be just a cool. Thank for sharing and inspiring. Just think, you could be blazing a new trail here. Who was it that inspired the first spoiler, Ginther? Hmmm.....the Milt.......?

I though we are the cariest people but now I know we are not

Milt,
don't forget to let us see it when you can be able to get it on the road.

Great work Milt!

Way to show those short-hood boys a glimpse of perfection.

Haven't looked at this thread since getting to Hawaii... Milt, you are truly an artist. I know you still have lots of work to do, but it's going to be "flippin' sweet". Truly, hats off, wish I had half your talent!

Not to hijack, but I figure all the cool cats will be watching this thread - I will be driving around the BI here in Hawaii through Tuesday in a Blue 2 door jeep. Hope to see a few more 911's out there on the road, and hopefully will run into a Pelican somewhere!

Aloha!

This job is becoming a job, but I'll git 'er dun.

"Whaaa, what do ya want?"

- More pics. I just want the same thing that everyone wants. More pics.


"I'm still having to manually copy these in."
- Me too. You must be a FireFox user.

Maybe you should think about posting pics as a way to unwind at the end of the day.... a way to sum up your progress. You could maybe even think if no pics are posted, then there was no progress that day. How's that for insidious...?

I use firefox and haven't had any issues posting pics. Sorry for the OT.

Milt, keep up the good work. I personally love the way it looks so far!
