Thought I'd post a few pics of my continuing (what seems like a life long project.)
Pic 1 is of the front corner,I finally got around to painting the Getty Design hood on the front that I bought last Aug. This past weekend,after the paint had set on it about a month,I color sanded it and buffed it out. I spent 4 hours sanding & buffing on the hood alone. Sorry about the dark pic it was taken late in the day. If ya look towards the cowl area of the pics,you can see the ridge beam of my carport,It's 12 feet up from the floor. Ron Attached image(s) |

Yes,the front bumper is glass,came from A.I.R.
Major work to get it to look like it fits the contour of the car correctly.I probably had 12-16 hours labor in just that bumper.The spoiler underneath was another horror story. The hood fit respectfully right outa the box. Engine.I bought it a couple years ago from a guy out in St.Louis '95 993 engine.Paid 4k for it,He had it in a '70 911.I spent a day driving it.It ran great,nice power,no smoke,no problems.He bought a varioram to replace it,and just wanted it outa the way.Thought it'd be great for my '6r. All the brackets and conversion hardware I made here in the fabshop,I experimented by doing the cad drawings,and lasering out the parts,all in aluminum.I didn't buy anything from anyone that sells that stuff like Patrick.I polished all the aluminum once I liked the result. All thats left to get the engine in is the clutch setup.I'll probably call Instant-G for that.And buy a T-B diff for the 915 box.That will probably happen this spring.Engine should be back in this summer On the clutch setup,I lost an entire year setting the engine up to run a 5-1/2"twin disc Tilton unit,only to learn thru my own ignorance (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) that there aren't any streetable clutch discs to fit it.Ya live and learn. I am gettin ancy,but I think I'm still a year or 2 away from a fire in the hole. Anybody w/a/question,ask.I'll share my experiences,maybe they'll help someone. Ron |
