My second RSR project just got back from the paint shop. My friend Freeman Thomas did the design to mimic the 917 "Hippie" race car. We started reassembly today. The motor will be like the first one I did with a Rothsport 3.5 motor. It looks totally MFI but it is stealth EFI, by looking at it you would never know. The diamond stitch was made my my neighbor Autos International.http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1543516021.JPG

Good God, that looks awesome!

I was at Rothsport a few weeks back and Jeff showed me your stealth EFI disguised as MFI. I didn't see that coming. Sweet. I'd say there was even a little twinkle in his eye when he showed it to me.

I was wondering what happened with your builds! Its great to see an update from you. Hopefully we get to see more soon :)

Jeff showed this to me at the swap meet, and I blown away. Super cool, and as stated, super stealth. :cool:

This is sooo f r e a k i n g cool !!

I follow you on Instagram!

Jon was there any prep before painting the undercoating in the wheel wells and was it just the normal paint you used to paint the car? Beautiful job

I knew when I saw you garage floor good things were ahead. 😎

Outstanding!

It was all scraped and wire brushed to remove all the old undercoating. Then media blast and epoxy coat. Then wurth undercoating was used that is paintable. It was painted with single stage glasurit. The body was painted with 2 stage.

Times like this is when I wish I was rich. lol

Reminds me of the old saying "wish I was born rich instead of good looking" LOL.

But seriously, obviously even though omgjon is obviously well heeled, he's also got great taste and spending his money wisely.

Chances are his success and wealth came from hard work and perseverance and what we are seeing is his hard-earned rewards.

Congrats Jon!! Really enjoying this thread. Any pics of this MFI/EFI setup?

^^^^
My understanding is he was going to sell 2 and keep 1.
I'd like to be able to afford to buy one.

Hi Omgjon,

Are the green and purple/blue color Porsche code colors? If so what are they?

Thanks,

The purple was mixed to match the 917, the green is Viper green.

Except now I have 5 in progress. Sell 4 keep 1
