I am going to have it e-coated and then painted.

What colour should it be?

I love Gulf Blue but my good friend Marting Gibson that lives just around the corner is having one built and I think it should be a little different?

Can you please post pics of your fav colour 72 RSR?

awesome, a new thread to follow

Matteo, I don't think you are nuts.....I think you're a genius!!!

My favorite RSR color is the bright Lime Green (Chartreuse) color.... paint code 226!!!

Congrats on the new project!:D

i vote for conda green with black detailing, that tickles my fancy right now.
everybody seems to do gulf blue right now - go for a weird retro special porsche colour instead (like the lime above) they're so cool.
but its your choice - something that makes you smile everytime you open the garage door :)
just my 2 cents.

Matteo, hasn't told you that you're out of control? And this is totally a good thing. Sweet a new thread for me to follow!

Matteo, here are some RSR's to consider. I do not think there is a bad color for one of these cars. I do tend to like the '70's saftey colors as they tend to pop, which is what these car deserve.

Make it a Slate Grey RSR and pretend its a special order car (because it wasn't an original RSR color)... would look great! And one of a kind (I think)

Matteo, look what Fed Ex just delivered, I know where there is another set. Would be just the thing.

hear, hear!! (that was what I'd planned!)

I vote Martini livery.

But RSR's are everywhere and are getting boring. won't someone build the ultimate 934?

Complete with centerlocks. It's possible...

Muh-Ha-Ha! You are a mad man :D

Yes - he's completely nuts, but nothing that a good old British straight jacket won't sort out once he's completed this project.

My vote goes for the Samson RSR in Black & Gulf Orange:

Good one mate.

Martin
911SC 3.6 (boring old Gulf Blue RSR pending)

I still like Continental Orange -- #107. Here's my Wide One (sorry same pics again)http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1191971581.jpg

Right on Matteo!!
Go for Slate Gray. You already have a bright one, and Slate Gray will look mean on an RSR.

changed my mind - conda green or mexico blue...
conda green is amazing anyday of the week but mexico blue is really unseen and thats cool. has a retro odd rare beauty to it. (This below aint an rsr but anyway...)
what's your thoughts - what do you lean towards? it's your car

colour is the most fun bit if we're not going the original route.

I love that project. I had toyed with the idea of picking it up myself and am glad to see that someone adament about it has chosen to pursue the RSR dream. I think there's nothing like the tangerine with black lettering. Please don't put 993 mirrors on it.

What a great site.
Gotta side with the "Slate Grey" folks. It will be different, and if it comes close to the last one, it will be very, very nice. Here we go again. Bucklin'-up! :eek:

Very true. The problem with this tub is that it has the correct RSR shaped rear fenders and the 72 oil tank flap in the back and it would be a shame to slap some fiberglass flares on the fenders and relocate the oil tank.

The 934 is my all time favourite 911. Next time!

You cheeky bugger....

This is a project that has a budget, so no more teasing ;)

I love mexico blue. It is my favourite color.... but I think it was introduced in 1974 and it suits better the later RSRs....

And 2 Mexico blue cars would be a little too much.

Signal Orange and Mexico Blue parked side by side would look tasty. If it was mine I would do it Pink/Raspberry or Purple, there are lots of safety colour reps out there - not that they are not nice cars you understand ;)

This still my joint number one 911, I just love it:
