Nice! So I am a few months away from digging into the project, but I picked up a 2001 996 Turbo donor with engine and transmission this weekend to put into my yellow 1972. I might pick your brain once the time comes to fab up the G96.50. I have the whole car minus body panels so I was debating using the 996 pedals mounted to the steering wheel, but we'll see.

I think the engine will fab up pretty easily, but am a bit concerned about the transmission. I have full coilovers and a 12 point cage, so I'm not concerned about cutting anything if I have to because I think I've got enough rigidity.
