WOO HOO! My car's in Excellence Magazine!
 
Hi Gang,

Since this all started here I figured you should all be the first to know. A post I put up here when I finished my car caught the eyes of Excellence Magazine. They called and said they wanted to do a feature on my car. Of course I said yes! The article just came online. Again, thanks to everyone here for making this possible. Enjoy, I'm going for a drive.

Cool, now you need to change your signature to HOLLYWOOD :cool:

81 911 SC 04-20-2011 12:48 PM

Very cool

Gustyones 04-20-2011 12:53 PM

That's awesome! I guess your resale value just went up too! Congratulations.

Very nice. I can see why they wanted to do a write up.
Very sweet.

Amazing car. About 99% how I would want to build a 911 if I were going to do the restoration route.

Rodsrsr 04-20-2011 01:04 PM

Simply beautiful. I cant think of a better car to run a feature on.

McLovin 04-20-2011 01:07 PM

Awesome, now do like everyone else and put it up for sale!

72 four door 04-20-2011 01:16 PM

Really nice! Tastefully done I'd say.

Plecostomus 04-20-2011 01:17 PM

Cherry car!

Scooter 04-20-2011 01:45 PM

Congratulations!

356RS 04-20-2011 01:50 PM

Great news and very cool 71 coupe. Congratulations.

Danimal16 04-20-2011 01:58 PM

nice Car!! Very Nice.

I am doing a very similar set up on my 71 with the exception of a 2.5SS with Mod-Solex.

What did you set your ride height at?

fantastic to be featured in Excellence - congrats.

My copy just arrived yesterday, I haven't yet had a chance to read it, but will look forward to reading it even more now.

You should get them to print out the article on a big banner and hang it in your garage :D

bklyn 04-20-2011 02:33 PM

Lucky man, you should celebrate!

congrats! I still pinch myself when I heard from Zach Mayne about my car and his interest in authoring an Excellence article on my build. That was a great experience. Enjoy!

Buy more than two extra copies. If I did anything differently, I'd have bought several more (maybe five or six).

widgeon13 04-20-2011 02:59 PM

Congratulations, what a nice compliment on your work.

rregan 04-20-2011 03:04 PM

Congratulations to you! That is exactly where the care deserves to be. Wow!

tazzieman 04-20-2011 03:10 PM

Lovely car! Meticulous rebuild and the end result is more satisfying than going out and buying a new one of any era. Please enjoy driving, often!

Cairo94507 04-20-2011 03:20 PM

Excellent car and article. I like the balance you struck with street comfort and performance. Congratulations on a car well built.

It's standard euro spec ride height.

Read it last night Welles. First thing that caught my eye on the contents page and had to flip ahead to see if it was yours! Enjoy...

NY65912 04-20-2011 05:00 PM

Beautiful!!

RSWiser 04-20-2011 05:08 PM

Saw that car in Excellence yesterday. Thinking what a sweet ride it is.
Congrats.

May I ask where you purchased those floor mats? Are they on here?

zmayne 04-20-2011 07:09 PM

Working on this article with Welles was a pleasure. Not only is the car incredible, but the owner is down to earth, true gear head. Here are some of the more "artsy" shots that didn't get published, hopefully you don't mind Welles.
