Still working on the interior. So many projects still want to do just need $$ and motivation.

Looks good but I think the duck tail fits the theme pretty well.

Just my opinion.

It does and its still in the garage.


I am planning on doing the front like this and then I think the duck might not be right?

Is the black on the graphics matt, satin or gloss?

Details on the mirror backdate please! Was there drilling, welding and painting involved?

yes small plugs welded into all three holes for the flag mirrors Then prep for paint, drill holes for new mirror, paint and install mirror. I was having some other paint work so it was not to big a deal. It sounds worse than it is but if you are going for concourse its a big leap. Mine is not that. But I think it came out nice.

Yeah i decided it was a little too macho for me....and I fell in love with the look of that other green car.

I may go back to the duck tail and "Carrera" graphic. Also want to try the 911R "PORSCHE" script on the side. The one little stripe may be a little too tame for the loud green.
