Wow Wolverine! I've been subscribed for a while because I had the feeling this was going to be a great build, but I didn't imagine that it would be THIS good! Outstanding!

Cheers,

Great job. Good to see that it's so close to the finish. And boy is it light, should really fly with the speed triple kit.

Looking good Tony. I didn't think that Fordahl would be able to stuff those monster wheels/tires under the fenders........but it looks perfect.

As long as you keep the 911.....how have you been?

Im glad to see this is still alive. Looks awesome! Your on the home stretch now. BTW, The 964 smile up front will work perfect.

I just scrolled back to the 1st post and it is dated 03/14/2008..............Tony's IROC project is a thing of beauty and it has been a long road, but is now getting down to it!!!

As some of you know, I've been helping out a little here and there in my spare time. This project has gone through many changes since 2008 and it is turning out nicely. Initially we installed one of my S3-EFI kits, after careful consideration we decided to simplify the system and go old school. So, I rebuilt a set of Webers for his 2.7. After some initial leakage issues .............we fired that mother up! I've attached two videos.

There were quite a few "almost" starts where the engine would fire up on the initial squirt of fuel, but not stay running.................but eventually the fire gods spoke and the 1st video shows the 1st signs of life. This is the first time this engine has been fired up in this 911 for 5-6 years. Needless to say, the looks on our faces are a mix of happiness and relief.

The 2nd video shows the results of a few minor tweaks to get it to run and idle.
Although the fine tuning and balancing still needs to be done, it sounds strong.

A pivotal moment......or two

I really like your mesh grill treatment. Can you tell us what material you used and how you formed and mounted it?

Nice meeting you yesterday Tony, car looks great.

[WOLVERINE]

Been awhile,
slow and steady progress, as limited by time and money, but just got my X-Faktory (be sure to checkout his new website) engine lid grille by Al Kosmal, so pulled off the duck to see what it looks like.

[Rodsrsr]

So happy to see this project is still alive. Gorgeous car. Let get this wrapped up!

[afterburn 549]

I am going to pout , you never called me.

[Rennwerks]

Oh no took off the "duck" great job on the car. Took me 8 years to restore/build my 916-6 only worked on the car when I was in a good head space and time permitted. Good also to see you had some good help.
