jyl,I read in one of the threads I founf on my search that Alois Ruf admitted that the NACA duct did not not in the way we might envision it to fuction. It actually pulled air out of the engine bay. I think this might have something to do with the higher pressure inside the engine bay inherent in the design of the 911 shape, butlets not deverge. (there were a flurry of e-mails regarding this topic on Rennlist. If you're interested, go do a search on the archive there).

Jupiter, Thanks. It looked like a blurp on Ruf through some tourism site eventhough my German is only good for ordering Beer...(how do you say Guinness in German?

Chris, That bumper (w/o adjusting the levels to reveal the details) looks like a Fiberwerks front. It is possibly a good "modern" take on the bumper cap that RUF started. Looks good on that black car. It must be local...I'd like to see it one day.

Eric, that yellow one you posted looks like a 72 (with the oil filler on the passenger rear quarter. I saved those pictures too. They may have done the conversion on a 72 with SC flares.

IMONBOOST, I agree that safety is an issue, but I don't drive my car that often and the kids know to stay away from the car when it's in the driveway or garage...oh my do they know. I get your point however; I plan to fabricate an aluminum subframe for concern. We'll see how much my contractors will want for such a job..Pipeline contractors can do some nice welding jobs.

turbo6bar, I saved that picture of the white car which I call the Cargraphic car, as Eric pointed out it is in/on their catalog. Although I sent a catalog request and they replied that it is being updated so no catalogs for a while.

Well! Now back to work for a while.
