Congratulations!

Very nice.

That's the sort of build I like. A wolf in a sheep's clothing. Not the other way around.

Beautiful build, love the interesting details and the McIntosh. Kudos for staying narrow body!

Love its simplicity. No tail is a real bonus.

I like it, I love the orginal color as well. looks great

Family oriented

Thank you all for your comments, it's been so long since I started this project I can hardly believe that the car is waiting for me in the garage. Luckily my wife loves these cars just as much and my kids are still small enough that they fit perfectly in the back seats, so they are nagging me all day to take them out in the "fast car". My five year old daughter has even come up with a name for it; "this car's name is FIRE dad, because it's red and it burns all other cars"
She could not be more correct in her assessment, and I could not be happier to enjoy it with the family knowing that they are just as exited as me.
Again, thanks for the words and praise.
Cheers!

WOW, very well done with all the right "stuff" for a early 911narrow body hot rod sleeper....
Thanks for sharing and it's great to hear that it will be used properly...👍

Fantastic build!

Edit: Did I just see in the rsr replica thread that you allso own this? :eek:

Top notch, absolutely beautifully executed build!! Bravo!

Can you tell me more about those kid's harnesses? I've got a little one, and would love to copy what you're done with those rear seat restraints.

Only the best need apply for this 911!!! Very nice!

White RSR
 

Yes, I am very lucky to own the white RSR as well, but this is not my build though I have begun to mod a few things about it. This car is very special, it was built four years ago by James Patrick of Patrick Motorsports as his own, kept at his house where it shared garage space with five other beautiful Porsche Hot Rodded street cars of different colors and models. Because James is a Porsche workaholic and he has so many choices to drive, the RSR was only driven less than 500 miles since built to new. Several months ago I had the red car in his Phoenix shop waiting for the engine install and was visiting the town when he graciously invited me to dinner at his home in Scottsdale, after dinner he showed me his personal stash of cars and I fell in love with this one, it took me three seconds to know I wanted it and three months to convince him to sell.
His project started with a perfectly restored white 1973 911T, and at the time he also had a partially wrecked 1989 930 at hand, so he decided to make his very own RSR using all the suspension, brakes, G50/50 transmission form the 930 (something one would never do nowadays because of 930 prices soaring, specially the 1989). Apparently the 1989 930 suspension is the best torsion bars suspension Porsche ever built for street cars, and he wanted the very best. The car's build initially had a 993 VRam 3.6, but it has been upgraded with a 964-based 3.8 built to RS specs but retaining the VRam for street drivability. It has a 964 dash top with the big A/C vent since he installed a R134 "Arizona Weather Resistant" new A/C system. Everything else in the interior is "all bussiness" with Recaro Sport seats, roll cage, racing harness and NO radio.
It is the most powerful, best sounding, best handling car I have ever driven and a most fantastic car to own.
Thanks for the comments!

At home
 

Resting quietly at home…for now.

Now that is a fantastic picture! Congrats! Thanks for sharing the specs, and I don't think anyone would mind more pictures of either one of them. ;)

where did you find those harnesses?

I'm very interested in learning what went into these seat restrains. Any more pictures of the mounting points? Also, where did you get the 4-point restraints?

Harnesses
 

I welded a thick plate under the rear parcel, inside the engine bay that had already welded mounting sealed nuts. I perforated the rear parcel at these points and you can mount the harness with bolts from inside the cabin. I have plastic covers for the holes on the shelf. when the harness is not used. For the bottom mounting points I reinforced the back of the rear seats and mounted small pins that hide beneath the rear seat's carpet extension.
The harnesses are of-the-shelf adult 4 point racing harnesses that I got at ebay (now that I see this crazy idea works, I have to get me some REPAs). They are long enough that they can be used for adults in the front seats at track days just by unlatching the bottom clips and attaching them to the front seats. When pulled in for the kids they really hold them down tight by the chest, so It's a do-it-all solution.

That's outstanding! I've seen a lot of builds on Pelican, but I have to say yours is at the top of the short list of best builds. You put a lot of thought, time and money into your build and really did an incredible job. Well done indeed!

It's really a fantastic idea to build up the fire wall for structural duty, and I really like that you thought it through enough that the harnesses can do double duty and be used as track day harnesses. I'm very impressed. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/support/smileys/wat6.gif

New Muffler
 

Hello
I want to share my latest addition to the '71. After an exhausting process of setting up the carburetors right, which involved several venturi swaps as well as endless combinations of jet sizes, I realized the stock 2-into-1 Dansk was restricting the engine too much so I decided that the whole idea of making a 3.8 sound "stock" was too much of a trade off. I striped the Dansk muffler and re-engineered the inside with a fast and free flowing X pipe crossover design. I wanted to have a symmetric flow so I added a second out, this means that it is now a 2-into-2 but this secondary out discharges to the ground so it will still look like a stock 2-into-1 when hidden behind the SS rear valance, thus keeping with the original design of the car. I will be filled with fiberglass to reduce drone and resonance as much as possible, and I'm hoping the X pipe will balance both banks and help with scavenging. I will close it and try it out next week. This means that the carburetion process will have to be re done from scratch, but it will certainly free the engines capabilities as well as sound much more like the sport car it really is.
I have no experience with muffler designs and mostly thought it out by studying several high performance designs, what do you think? Am I heading out towards disaster, or am I in the right direction?
Thanks for the comments.
Cheers
