Yea Jim, any new pics? :D

Hi guys,

Nothing happening on my car recently. Been building some tool stands and other stuff for my shop.

Spent a week in Boston with my wife to see some friends and attend the 356 Porsche East Coast Holiday. About 255 cars in attendance from 1953-1967. You had cars from all sides of the hobby. Perfectly restored significant cars like the 1954 Gmund all aluminum coupe in the lobby – to rat coupes in the parking lot. It rained the final day when the concours was scheduled – so it was moved into a parking garage. Not the best location – but it was outta the rain and still happened. I normally hang at the host hotel in the evenings anyway to catch some of the best discussions and get to see the cars opened up where you can ask questions and chat with people. One guy rolled a 100 thousand dollar coupe on the autocross… oops. Really good group of folks and it was a fun time !

Narrowing down the color combination I plan to use on my build. Stock black exterior, with black and dark green interior, underhood will be standard PT satins of black, gunmetal, dark green accents, etc. You can sorta see the concept in this beautiful sunroof coupe.

Cool pics. One of my favorite cars. If I ever get rich I'll have one in my stable. Awesome color and interior combo on the baby blue one.

Thanks Jim!

I doubt any outlaws are welcomed at one of those shindigs. I used to love to go to them in my Ecotec powered bus! (usually had to park waaaayyy in the back by the swap meet) :D

Jeff-

Hah, you probably wouldn't like my pictures Marty, I'm a bit weird...

While most people take shots of the car, quarter side shots, interiors, wheel stance, etc. I take a bunch of stupid stuff like bumper gaps, -or- with a hood handle and without a hood handle, -or- chrome and white door knobs vs chrome and black door knobs... A couple hundred of those would make you sick. I have gigs of pics on door gaps ....

:)

The bus/truck pic was for you Bro ! Your Bus pic is on the wall in my den.

There were a couple outlaws there, all but one were all porsche outlaw mods. (One had a complete 911 engine, trans and suspension in it, etc.) There was only one car that was a non-porsche outlaw mod - and it had a Subaru engine with ac in the car.
