I plan on building quite a few 911s going forward, so I had several trolleys made. The latter trolley is for assembly and for moving it around the shop easily until it is on its own suspension. The...

The ceramic undercoating went on without a hitch. The beauty of this product is that we can now spray the final color over it to effectively hide it (minus the texture, of course).

We've had no issue with paint adhering to the metal post-glass media blast. You still need to prep the metal for primer and final paint just as you would any other project. We did not have to do...

We used crushed and recycled glass. It takes longer than other media, but when applied properly it will not warp panels. It is surprisingly gentle on plastics, wiring, and other "fragile" parts as...

While not entirely accurate nor scientific, we weighed the "waste" from media blasting and it was in the order of 52 lbs. This includes undercoating and three (yes, 3) layers of paint.

Well said. I didn't cutup a real RSR. This was Brumos's version of a club racer/hot rod. The metal and finishing work was poor (but likely okay in 1974). I'd like to imagine this is how they would...
