My garage contains my 1973.5 T which has been in my barn for 6 years and in another guys barn before that since 1989. Started tearing it down two weeks ago. So far most of the problems are in the front end and rockers. still have a lot to take to bare metal though.
I've had your site bookmarked for a couple years waiting to start the ordering process.
One comment I remember reading in one of the project posts was RD was inconsistent with delivery times. It may have been an old post, but it made me curious. Do you have typical delivery estimates for a 73 911 front suspension pan and outer rockers?
Again, awesome you are asking for feedback.

Welcome Prairie,
There used to be an issue with long shipping periods out of Restoration Design, but I believe that the company has changed ownership since then. I can tell you I ordered Rockers, door jams, and more from RD over the summer and had them in less than a week between ordering and arrival. I was impressed, and their customer support was always quick to reply via email.
Norm, when I get the nerve up to cut my rockers off and replace the inner & outer rockers I'll let you know how it goes for a rookie welder and body man. It is scary cutting up a 911.
Thanks for your interest in our opinions, and thanks for providing us with the opportunity to repair these cars! I think you guys should work on a dogleg kit for the lower portion of the fender's. If I were you I would also consider making metal extension pieces that would allow backdater's to convert short hood fenders into longhood fenders.
Thanks
Rich
