The Plunge

[ncseahawk]

Greetings all. This is one of my initial posts. A few months ago I asked to see all the golden colors and silver colors.

Well I deployed to Iraq and dropped my darling off at the best shop I could find in the Pac Northwest. Eurotech Bodywerkes, the best recommendation was the wonderful example Rdane keeps.

And so today Mark emailed me the first set of pics. Thank goodness I have 6 more months to go. It looks like a lot of work still to go.

BTW it is going to be arctic silver....I know its not period correct but I am looking for something a little more hotrod than classic.

These pics make more nervous than anything outside the wire.

Hey man, I'm in full support of your plunge, it's going to look great when it's done, silver is a great hotrod color for a 911.

By the way, stay safe out there.

Recent Update. Car is finished with painting, now on to clear coat, etc...

ahhh ohhhh I like that! who makes the front bumber? Not your traditional RSR

[ncseahawk]

That is a fibreglass front bumper cover made by Fibrewerks. They have only a small add in Excellence.

Mark, my guy at Eurotech said the quality was good and fit was easily done.

I don't know. I still haven't seen it. I rotate out of here in July.

Nice thing to look forward to...

keep your head down, my friend.
thanks, from back state-side

3 months and a wakeup.

I am starting to get short....

Will feel good to get back on a road where most of the people driving have some clue as to what "Rules of the Road" could be.

What fun that ride will be.

Thanks for your service. Keep safe.

Car looks fantastic!

Thanks for your patriotism and service to the country. Hope you don't read some of the O/T threads on the forum, it can be quite disturbing.

Get home safe and enjoy driving the P car.

I am still waiting on a few things before I pick it up next month.

First the headlight rings and blacked out tail grate that covers the mesh will be painted the same silver as rest of car.

Finally Mark is going to custom cut some 996 running boards to fit. Or that is the plan...

He is very skillful. He also did Rdane's car which is splendid.

ncseahawk, first off, thanks for your service, it's the bravery and patriotism of people like you that make our way of life possible!

Second, the car looks great, I hope you drive the snot out of it when you return home!

[MIK911]

Seahawk---I also want to thank you for your service. Stay safe.
Your car looks smokin'!! Very unique set of bumpers, done tastefully.
Are those Carbon fiber mirrors? Sweet.

Get home safe to your family and that beautiful ride! Very nice color choice. I like it!

[azasadny]

Great car! Stay out of harm's way and God Bless!

[ncseahawk]

Mark,

Just sent me two more pics: Still no rocker panels but the headlight rings and tail are complete.
