Did a test fit. I’m pretty happy with it.
The contour match is ok. I can live with it.

My goodness that's a lot of snow (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)

That valance looks nice. How do you like the stone chip paint? I was thinking of using that myself on valances and rocker covers. Looking sharp (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif)

@bbrock Ha, our snow prolly looks like a lite frost to you! Hey Brent,
I like the SEM stuff. Especially the satin trim black.
The “stone chip” is nice. It all depends on distance your spraying with
the rattle can. Farther=small beads, close=blobs. If your using a “gun” I’m sure you’ll have better control.
The only thing is I’m not a total fan of is the sheen. It looks ... well...
rubbery. Being it’s gonna get pelted with debris, fine. Even though it’s
Satin finish it’s more gloss than I’d like.
I’m gonna try and topcoat with normal black satin.
Maybe temps affected it.
It was only 54F out today. I’ll try again when warmer.
I prefer the rockers just smooth satin.
Looking good out there! Keep at it.
Cheers. Dion

Good info, thanks! I was hoping it was more like the stuff on the rockers of my newer cars that shows a little extra orange peel, but has the same gloss/sheen as the body paint. I can live with some orange peel on the rockers in exchange for fewer chips, but yeah, it needs to be satin.

Looks great.. I wonder though if you bought the upol that defiantly used on his roof would be an even better match??

Both @dion and @bbrock you are passing me up.. Looking great.

You don’t want to use undercoat on the roof. Too unstable, ask me how I know. The paint will move under the trunk clips and crack. I stripped mine down and am using Raptor bed liner reduced 10% thru a Shutz gun. Raptor uses a hardener. Someone in my paint class did Colorado fender flares in Raptor and painted body color over it. 3 years and still holding up to daily driving.

Upol is the brand name of raptor bed liner. We are on the same page.

Following the master of all things detailed... @bbrock ,
(He keeps raising the bar doesn’t he?!)
I rejuvenated the glove box.
It was in a sad state. The mice had enjoyed a stay in it.

That looks fantastic (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif) Sure beats the mouse pee stains, but you can't blame me for this one. This is all on @raynekat . I didn't know a flocking thing about flocking until Doug steered me right.

@RolinkHaus it’s a 2.4 on a ‘67 case. Originally with MFI before my purchase. Now on
Webers. The counterweighted crank and rods came from a 2.7 Liter 911 engine .
Standard of course . Rods were sent to Ray Litz to be checked and balanced .
No other mods. Your motor looks sweet.

Well it’s all to factory spec. Rebuilt around 20K miles ago.
Supposedly good for 140 per the books. We know Porsche is conservative with their stated numbers. I’d love to dyno it when the car is
complete. I’m sure it will be pleasing no matter what:-)
