Damn-it Mark, you're at it again?! ;)

Looks good man! You and Macroni headed to Pittsburgh Vintage GP by chance?

Thumbs up! Love the gray on the white! Exceptional. More detail shots please! I need some motivational/inspirational images! =)

Beautiful Car! Glad I never sold my early car, but now I should take out the halogen headlight units that I proudly installed 30 years ago (so I could see at night) and pop the originals back in. Glad I saved 'em all these years!

Great car owned by a great guy!
I thought it looked great as it was but your "little tweaks" are spot on...good job. Thought I was going to see it this past weekend but no such luck...hopefully soon;)

jackb911 07-07-2011 01:03 PM

Wow, VERY, VERY nicely done, Mark!

YTNUKLR 07-07-2011 01:48 PM

Mark, just sweet. You have all kinds of tasty morsels all over that car. Love it!! But you still need to post the current steering wheel shot ;):D

...
 
my 2 favorite colors done VERY Well !
enjoy it well !

1100sport 07-07-2011 03:11 PM

Would look even better on 15'' Fuchs instead of 16''.
Other than that, well it is perfect!

Buckterrier 07-07-2011 03:32 PM

+1 on all the positive comments. Now lets get the beastie on the track!!

PeteM1965 07-07-2011 03:46 PM

Gorgeous!
 
Mark I can't wait to see it in the flesh.

Captain Ahab Jr 07-07-2011 04:31 PM

That is one of the best looking cars I've seen in a long time.

Can you post a close up of your wing mirror, what's visibility like and is it positioned about where the fuel filler cap was????

Mark Morrissey 07-07-2011 07:08 PM

Thanks very much you guys... I'm having major computer/internet issues ... I'm not sure when I'll be back up to speed :mad:

Mark,
It is a beauty. Great job!

I'm back online after it taking 3 days to figure out that I needed to replace my cable modem... what a pain in the ass.

I wanted to respond to a few posts and thank you guys again for the encouraging comments. If I didn't respond to you personally, please know I really appreciate everyone's posts.

304065: John, thanks a lot... see you at McSorley's!

syzygy: The SC flares were rolled to remove the hard edges... I just like that look better. It's pretty tricky to photograph on a white car but tried.

Andy Perks: And you know I love that ride of yours ... let me know when you're back in the states

Jeroen and Captain Ahab Jr.: The 550 spyder mirror is not as bad as I thought it would be now that it's adjustable and in position. It is about where the gas door used to be. Still, I can't see a lot out of it which is why I got the wink mirror. The wink mirror is awesome... you can see everything behind you and just about eliminates the blind spots.

CCM911: Thanks Christopher... I remember meeting you back in August of last year.

boba: Hey Bob. Thanks and don't be too surprised if I make an appearance sometime in the next couple of years in the Lone Star State. It would be cool to join you guys on one of the drives you guys put together down there.

t6dpilot: Scott ... Thanks a bunch... your car is one of my personal favs ... You're welcome to drive this thing anytime.

Caferacer: I'll try to get a few night shots... I personally would prefer Mulsanne but I don't think my wife would approve ... unless there was a vacation in France attached to the deal which ain't happening anytime soon.

onboost: Paul, I wanted to make the Pittsburgh vintage but It's not looking good right now.

mike monde: Where the hell were you today?

YTNUKLR: Thanks a lot Scott... steering wheel shot coming up!

1100sports: Oh man! I know, I know and it's killing me. Or, how about some torque thrusts? Harvey!!

Doc: Hope we can get together soon.

Damn -- wish I knew about Lime Rock events. I just Googled the future events at Lime Rock -- can someone tell us all how the early Porsche turn-out is for the Historics Race in early Sept (this Labor Day) ?

What was the Swap meet like last year... just to compare?
TIA,

Halm 07-10-2011 04:33 AM

Really nice evolution of an already terrific car!

Now, are you going to drive that bad boy out to Rennsport this fall?

brol 07-10-2011 08:01 AM

Beautiful! I was thinking about going to Limerock yesterday, but was stuck going to work. Really disappointed I wasnt able to see the car in person!!!

Macroni 07-10-2011 09:18 AM

Keeping up w/ the Morrisseys
 
After seeing your car in New Hampshire I realized hat the bar was being raised. So I took advantage of Stitch's west coast proximity and master craftsman John Esposito's talents..... note Turbo brakes :cool:

Goal will be to have complete in time for the drive to Rennsport....

TIA,

It's a great event, excellent attendance, and I may even get to run in it this year (unless my buddy is incorrect about my eligibility)..
