Wow has this car progressed since last time I had a free moment to look at BB Threads.

Love the color combinations and the wheel choice & color is going to look perfect. I may copy your strip colors on my Cayman as it’s midnight blue and I am not a fan of the bla looking silver/gray stripe.

As always I can’t wait to see more updates and of course the funny comments from everyone in this thread.

Thanks Marty ... of course, I love it when people use my ideas, means I'm making the right decisions

Ok, wheel designs are in from AWC, and these look killer.

Colour

Love it, let me know what you guys think

Perfect!! Very close to the colors I initially started to go with. My car is dark blue, brake calipers are Carolina blue and the interior and wheels were going to be gold or bronzish. Stuck to the car and brake caliper colors, but abandoned the wheels and interior cuz I wasn't sure how it would look. I know see it's AWESOME!! :bang:

my Granddaughter was Born yesterday, I was at the Porsche Dealership this morning to pick up some parts and had to Buy this for her!. I'm embarrassed to say what I paid! Lol

Mr. BMR
Congrats on the granddaughter !! Thats awesome I love the wheel and btw, I'm embarrassed about how much I'm paying for all parts related to this build

looking good buddy, should be done in 2 months ????

What the deuce! but you just bought it, how is it in paint already. I love seeing updates on this build

Shooting for June Ryan ... fingers crossed there should be no more surprises

So the story behind this Jim is the 911 project was already underway as Nathan's (builder) own car. He decided to put it on the market and I nabbed it 1/2 way through the build so we were already quite a ways into it

Now stay tuned because this thing is going to move quick now

Keeping my fingers crossed for the friggin leather coming from Italy ... still waiting on delivery

Cheers
Steve

Looking incredible and I can’t wait for more updates.

Glad to see it moving along quickly, Steve. The color combinations are spot on. :thumbsup:

Just in ...
 

Just finally arrived from Europe guys ... the brand new barrel valve induction system from Jannik Racing ! I am lucky enough to have William Knight as the architect behind the full engine build.

The only thing cooler than velocity stacks are 'gold' velocity stacks !! :yes:

In the voice of Austin powers Goldmember "I like gold "

Wheels have arrived in Toronto !
Will be ceramic coated and then shipped back to LA ... LOL

https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...8bc83330_b.jpgIMG_0303 by Steve Heck, on Flickr

Price of the car x ... price of the parts xx price of the labour xxx price of the cross border/cross continental shipping xxxxxxxxxxxx

Ryan ... I know, I know ....

Here is the way I look at it, to me this car will have the lineage of a Singer but at a fraction of the cost.

This is truly going to be a special car, possibly even a 'keeper' LOL

My goal is to be able to present the 911 and Killer piggy at the next Autorama next March ... keeping my fingers crossed we can do this by then !!

Cheers
Steve

Almost ...
 

Ok so BIG thanks to Dan @ AWC for building me these awesome 3 piece forged Campy wheels that have arrived in LA ... Rubber will be mounted today!

are you going to get a Custom Crest?

https://i.postimg.cc/GmnCG38v/183323...97694263-n.jpg

Those wheels are exceptional - cant wait to see them on the car

Oooohhh ya, me too ... we are just days away from final paint and everything is ready to go to complete the suspension and engine so I am hoping to see the car on the wheels soon !

TC ... beautiful, just getting into the finer details now. I sent the badge over to the builder

Thanks everyone

Cheers
Steve

DO NOT send money to CarreraEast for custom painted crests...$500 a year ago and nothing. He checks in on Rennlist but wont reply to emails or PMs or messages thru Paypal. Strung me along until I couldn't charge it back...


Jeff-

Wow, such an awesome build!
