Thanks for the responses! Much appreciated, I had a fun time and I hope you did too with all my posts. I have to say it was a lot of work that paid off, and the car is better for it, that was one of my prime drivers to doing it all.
Funny story, maybe not so funny: There was a piece of blue tape under the right rocker that I could not get off while the car was on my lift. I knew it was there, but had some issues with lug nuts last minute, and had to change them all out after I got it off the lift. Well, of course I forgot about the tape and with the car so low to the ground and the wet grass and all I biffed it. Naturally a judge caught it and gave me a -.02. Here is the kicker, at trophy time it turned out there was a tie for Best of Show between my 914 and a 911, at the division level, and the tie broke in his favor (I cannot explain how they broke the tie cuz I don't understand it). I was that close to Best of Show! Had I only caught the blue tape.

If you dropped your microfiber towel it was done! |
