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.

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

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

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).
