In my eyes and per my definition I built a hot rod. Took a non-sunroof 72 911T coupe and went the ST route. It’s super fun and alive on the track and on weekend canyon runs. Not so great around town; its loud, somewhat stiff and has 4 point belts. Not a wife favorite, but since its a 3rd car and pretty much has its defined purpose its perfect for me. A hot rod can be great if you build it to suit your needs.
Happy to discuss concept, cost, timing and results with you as you navigate. PM me to connect. Nick
