And, the photos you guys have been waiting for:
This is the passenger rear quarter removed, with a flange in place for bonding the carbon panel to. This flange is generous at the moment, and will be trimmed down for final attachment.
You can see how much of the tail light housing we leave when we bond composite panels on - this way the fitment is as-produced by Porsche.
The initial test fit went well. It was a nail-biter for me, personally - there was no end to the amount of jigging, measuring, checking, etc. that was used for contour verification before committing to the final shape of the positive plugs that the molds we made from - but I couldn't actually exhale until a panel actually FIT on the 911.
- it does fit on the 911:
- and it is symmetrical to the mock-up work (seen on the driver's side in this picture.)
The passenger side is being mounted first, so as to allow the mock-up work to serve as final position reference/check.
I appreciate everyone's patience with the updates - we wear many hats nowadays (short on staff) and it takes considerable time to photograph/upload/update during other business activities.
I'll work on keeping the progress shots more current in this and other threads, bear with me.
