77' 911 Hotrod

[Sheck44]

Hey guys ... so, here we go again, divorce papers are almost signed and I'm ready to roll !! LOL

Ryan gave me sh@! for not posting this here, and I think this belongs here even more so than Killer Piggy build (which we will be going VERY soon) so here she is, my 1977 911 Carerra Hotrod build at CCSpeedline in LA.

So for quite a while I've been searching for a backdate/hotrod 911 and to be quite honest everything Ive seen has been extremely expensive, not the right colour, engine not good enough, interior sucks etc .... I stumbled across a partially completed build thread by a VERY reputable shop in LA asking what colour should I paint this car to sell. I reached out to Nathan and we talked for some time and the next thing I know I'm sending him a hefty deposit !!

This is a 1977 original Carrera with an IROC front bumper, duck tail that was going to be Nathan's (shop owner ... did I mention that he paints the 911's for Singer) personal car. Nathan is an amazing guy and somewhat of a purist, but I am pushing his boundaries a bit with this build but we completely see eye to eye on the ultimate vision of this car ... which is amazing and makes things so much easier and more exciting.

So here she is ...
1977 IROC Carrera with duck tail in Montana blue
3.2 stroked to a 3.5 William Knight built, stack Injected JSR, 350HP engine
915 5 speed transmission with short shift kit
Full coil-over suspension
Cayman brakes
Custom Fuchs 7x15 / 8x15
Full custom interior
Full custom electronic controlled/valved GT3 exhaust
Custom electric AC system with dual condenser/upgraded Alternator
Roll bar / harnesses

Here we go ...
