Hello Spencer,

Subscribed - Great threads, inspirational - looks like my '68 912 Targa. Living in upstate New York it's dusty in the barn for probably another week or two.

[Spendo65]

Very Cool, I can't wait to get mine rolling also. But I'm still a ways out.

[Spendo65]

For all of you that are following me. Be patient. I am waiting for chrome work and buying more and more rubber. I don't have any new pictures to share yet. Still looks the same. Hoping around june or so.

Very cool project, story, and documentation.....

[Spendo65]

Chrome work is almost complete. As the car gets put back together I will post more pictures. Stay tuned.

Great to see another Targa resurrection. I have a 67 911 Targa and I am looking for a chrome shop. Who did you use? I am in the South Riverside/North San Diego area. Thanks for the you Tube link. There is a 67 total rubber kit available.

My paint guy has his connection to all of the chrome. Just saw the chrome today. It has been copper coated the chromed. That is supposed to make the chrome last longer. It looks amazing. pictures soon to come. Burkes Auto Body in Long Beach Ca. Gloria Or John. Can help you with the chrome questions.

[Spendo65]

Same news which is nada. Hoping I can post new pictures soon. I learned how to become very patient on a restoration. I don't want to cut corners.

[Spendo65]

I will have the engine back from machine work in a couple of weeks. I would have it this weekend but can't pick it up. so more pictures to come shortly. Stay tuned.

Don't forget what it looked like.
Cause it doesn't look like that anymore. It's better.

[Spendo65]

My paint guy just started replacing the chrome on the car with rubber. I'm hoping for photos soon.
