Six-year-long Porsche 911 Carrera RSR restomod project finally reaches completion

Six years ago, Emory Motorsports Inc. began working on restoring and modernizing a 1973 Porsche 911 Carrera RSR.........................
The body of the vintage coupe has been re-done from scratch using aluminum and stainless steel, and the windows are plastic/polycarbonate, rather than glass.

The rest of us would recognize that pretty quickly as a 356, not a "911 RSR". The author screwed up the headline and the opening paragraphs, but he did somehow get it right further down the article:
The cabin of the unique Porsche 356 RSR Outlaw Coupe by Emory & Momo houses a sports steering wheel, a Rothsport gear selector, fiberglass bucket seats wrapped in fabric, and a stout bolt-on roll cage.
I've known Gary and Rod for an awfully long time. While they no longer hold one every year, I haven't missed a campout in 20 years or more. Good times with some really good people.
Gary and Rod always described this car to me as a kind of 935 tribute 356. Essentially, how a 356 would have been modified following the 935 philosophy. A rear view shows that whole idea a bit better, with the same treatment on the rear "wings" (fenders to us) as a 935. Stock profile hiding under radically extended wings. You can definitely see the 935 influence in it. Makes me wonder if the author ever even talked to Gary or Rod.
