Very nice project!

OttoB 07-23-2011 06:37 AM

With your vision, thoroughness, level of attention, and high standard of craftsmanship, my friend - have you given any thought to doing this on a full time basis? I'm sure you'd have a waiting list on potential clientele... Keep on with the good work - its beyond first rate!

@ Walt : "holes of the cash deck" is not the good word you knowit, i have search the real word for this in pelican and i think the good word is "Lower Side Rocker Cover" and in the car you have hole for the screw of this part and because we have no need of this part we will have to erase this hole

@Otto : i'm just a little guy who have pleasure to realize his dream of RSR with not a lot of money, but lots of idea and DIY ;) . My two friend JF and Fab are real artist of car and metal job, and i sure one day they will mounting their own "garage" and can make lots of good job for lots of person.

@All the another fellow : thanks for th read of my post and your support

privatepang 07-25-2011 09:02 AM

Congrats on getting this far! Car looks great!

Flieger 07-25-2011 09:51 AM

Very nice. Where are the fenders/wings/flares from? GT Racing?

I think Voekler and Roland did very well, especially considering team Europcar was a "wild card" entry.

tof2.7 07-25-2011 10:10 AM

They come from deutschland , f-s-h .

tof2.7 07-26-2011 11:17 PM

Yesterday evening as it worked me I looked of more meadows at the assembly of wings.

Two famous parts R and L, which I planned to sell, are thus going to stay on Froggy to finish but it's going to need to cut them a big piece to each. I am just going to cut after the bolt to fix the bowl of headlight (in metal and of brand Dansk)

http://img202.imageshack.us/img202/2738/carross62.jpg

Then assembly of the internal cheek

http://img34.imageshack.us/img34/1611/carross63.jpg

It will be necessary to stick the wing above

Then assembly and in the final it is very clean, only two place must be a little modified

http://img846.imageshack.us/img846/1083/carross64.jpg

A bump of fiber before the hole of lived that it's going to need to sand to level.

http://img833.imageshack.us/img833/4239/carross65.jpg

The outside edge of the side wing support to level also a little

Otherwise that should make it.

I do not know how he make their mould but we see the good place of holes

Flieger 07-27-2011 09:35 AM

So the bolt holes line up well but the panel gaps need some filling and sanding.

Are the yellow "famous parts" that you are going to cut the bumper brackets?

tof2.7 07-27-2011 10:51 PM

Wings are not fixed, just put. After the holidays I am going to fix the whole, and I would take back with some picture, the distance will not be any more there.

The yellow legs, go to be cut by the party which was fixed on bellows of the old impact bumpers. And i must cut it because if i do not i can't take the indicator light in this place.

i have received the new chronometer and will just finish the support.

Now next news in the end of August Month, good holiday to all of you and your familly ;) SmileWavy

tof2.7 08-29-2011 04:59 AM

Hello Guys, i'm back from holiday, and which says "back from holiday" said "already begin the work on Froggy".

Thus I have begin slowly.

I continued by painting of the supports of seats

http://img849.imageshack.us/img849/3662/ete20112.jpg

And fixed rails on the automobile (by having taking care of concealing everything)

http://img850.imageshack.us/img850/5897/ete20115.jpg

What makes that the inside is close to the end.

I found my red pull " Fire " and I am soon going to order it.

Then will stay the sky of roof and the parts of imitation leather of the amounts of car doors and it is everything (finally until the next idea in ....... :) !!!).

As I found of the ribbon " dymo " I was able to make my labels

http://img585.imageshack.us/img585/1216/ete20113.jpg

And set up them

http://img40.imageshack.us/img40/2927/ete20114.jpg

Then I got down to the adjustment of wings and hood before....

http://img840.imageshack.us/img840/5474/ete20116.jpg

http://img508.imageshack.us/img508/7166/ete20117.jpg

And there I have some big doubt on several point, so i think this job will be not so funny.

but when we have to go ...... we must go !

giovanni86 08-29-2011 12:50 PM

herman maire 08-29-2011 02:30 PM

nice project.

I did not see your final answer on this, is the fit of the fiberglass panels good?

I purchased some fiberglass items in the past and it was disgusting how bad the fit was.

I am also building a RSR body but I decided to use the original steel fenders and have turbo flares welded in......

tof2.7 08-29-2011 11:02 PM

Hi Herman

All the manufacturers of fibers are not identical, some parts are very thick with very beautiful finishes of the other one are very fine without any reinforcement and with very bad finishes, it is necessary to read a lot to have experience feedback of the other fellows. For me some part are second-hand thus already gone up and adjusted, there no problems, the fenders and rear bumpers are new and fenders a little of work but not too much. The new parts were ordered in Germany because you have very good parts in United States but with the transport and tax, finally the prices are 1.5 or 2 times more expensive while cheaper on the base!!!

the dream is to use all parts in steel but the final price is very different.

you have a thread for your RSR Build ?

jimtweet 08-30-2011 06:16 AM

where are the fenders from? sorry if i missed that

tof2.7 08-30-2011 06:39 AM

Jim,

the rear ar steel turbo fender made by dansk (and sell by all good porsche part society ... like pelican)
the front come from deutschland , from society FSH (FSH - GFK Leichtbauteile passend für Ihren Porsche)
