What are the bronze pipes?
If oil cooler runs, can you show the transition from the outer Long into the front trunk?

Also, what are your thoughts on vibration and tubing cracking over time?

+1

These might Ben's lines, which if so are basically identical to the factory original ones which seem to last OK.

Those lines came from PMB a while ago. 911's use similar brass lines up the long to feed the front cooler but 911 lines are longer with some 90 degree bends. The biggest issue with them is not cracking but guys or shops jacking up the car and crushing the line.

I also know, or I used to. I’m old and probably forgot. Even if I remembered, I wouldnt say. Despite what Scotty says, Michael is a nice guy. He’s been through a lot and deserves the great unveil...Very soooooon...

Thanks guys. I appreciate the support. Though I may occasionally slip and make a negative comment, I try to keep it positive but still let others know to beware. Given the situation (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sheeplove.gif) I have had to deal with, I hope I am forgiven for occasionally getting upset.

I have easily over 100 photos of my car as it was when I picked it up at Scott's, before Kent did a thing to it except put it on a rotisserie. As everyone now knows, I have been trying to get some kind of refund from Scott and consequently have been reluctant to show all of the damage to my chassis as I try to resolve that situation. However, as it seems that train has likely left the station, I may end up posting those pictures so all can see how bad the work actually was.

I would have rather posted those comments and ultimately the pictures I have in the other thread I started that was locked in short order, but that is now not possible. I understand why the thread was locked, but I have seen threads where others have complained about other vendors non-stop and those threads do not get locked. I understand the responses to my comments were out there and frankly unprofessional, but I hoped they would address that person directly and not foreclose my ability to air this issue and alert others to the practices I suffered. BTW, I thought the rapid replies were proof in and of themselves that there were issues. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Have read it all, please let it go. Don't let it get you down, move on. I think you believe you are trying to warn others, which sounds noble, but it is not coming across that way, unfortunately. Others have said it, it is not your job to save the world, no matter how well meaning you are. Let it go. You have the car where it will ultimately be what you wanted. Enjoy and I hope to see it and meet you one day. It is a lot more fun to watch everyone tease you about the color. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

So Scott has now commented on my Dorkiphus thread, https://dorkiphus.net/porsche/showthread.php?t=38913
and accused me of libel, slander and defamation..... By the way, the truth is an absolute defense to all 3.

Get the car finished and enjoy it!

Your car's progression has been glorious to watch. I hope the time, efforts, and cost will have been worth it in the end.
