On a serious note, that's the sort of thing someone needs to know when doing a project. Where to turn for what. Today, I know many accomplished craftsman in various fields. To do it all in-house is insane. For my own car, I have to do it all because that's who I can afford, me. And that gives me a very good perspective of what is needed.
I started with Corvettes and did a few "frame offs." I suppose I could really do quite a variety if I wanted to. But that gives me fiberglass experience which comes in handy when working with after market parts. I did 2 MG's and that gave me some perspective as well (like using wood as a door frame, LOL)
You know, cars is cars, but I would have more interest in 911's than others. 356's qualify, but there are some very accomplished shops out there for the 356.
I think this will be a fun thread even is it goes nowhere for me. I have avoided the OT forum lately because I can get all worked up about some topics. At least this is somewhat benign. I don't want to get worked up anymore.......
That having been said, I'll make my prediction. I think SC's and Carreras worked over to be like the very first RUF cars are going to be the next big thing. Not backdating them. In a way, backdating all the way to a car that it's not is silly. Backdating to IROC is not as unseemly. Not to call an early car ugly, that's not the point. I would advance the idea of taking full advatage of any car's attributes and enhancing them, not disguising them. If I understand Mr. Ruf at all...............
