Very cool and it looks like I will be seeing you at some of the upcoming Porsche events across the country. I’ve had a blast driving my Cayman R the last 4 summers. It’s hard to imagine why I didn’t buy one sooner. I jokingly say it was the best 40 grand I have ever spent.

Trey, took me a while to get up to speed on these older Porsches to my friend. So it turns out that they are heat exchangers that pull the hot air from around the exhaust to provide heat to the cabin.
It's just caged like that as a rotisserie ... she's getting ready for the paint !!
Marty ... Ha !! I hear ya, I had a Techart Cayman a few years back and likely the best handling car I've even driven. So with this 911, I'm after the same but with that extra 'cool factor' and that nostalgic feel/experience that no modern car can provide. Very much like the pro-touring/resto-mods we are building here on Lat-G.
Super excited about this build, I just WISHED I could grab a plane ticket and head down to the LA shop/CCSpeedline to see this thing and meet Nathan in person.
Cheers
Steve

Skip ... I hear ya buddy
So the one thing I've noticed with the Porsche crowd is that they are more purist that any other group I've seen. So when Nathan wanted to build a Hotrod 3.0 Carrera, well that includes those exact wheels with that finish and that rubber. I actually like the look a lot.
Now that said ... I may purchase a 2nd set of 17's and have them coated to get this look

the interior color would really pop with those wheels, ever see a car where someone has put 2 different wheels on it ? . maybe dark centers on the pilots side and interior color centers on the drinker side ?. one car 2 looks
Ryan, RideTech did that with their second gen camaro build. Orange on one side and a dark gray? wheels on the other.
Steve, Thanks for the info. I thought that box might be for the heater since these cars are or were air cooled, but I'm just not familiar with them at this level. I love seeing them, especially the modified ones. I definitely prefer the larger wheels. I currently have two sets of wheels for the BMW so I certainly couldn't fault you for getting two sets for your car. Might be a good idea depending on the crowd you're hanging out with at the time. We wear event appropriate clothing don't we? Might as well make sure the car has event appropriate wheels, too!

Morning guys ... Skip yes Nathan does incredible work. Before sending him the deposit I did my due diligence and everyone said the same thing, Nathan does amazing work and a he's true car guy.
So I've pretty much decided that it would be great to have 2 sets of wheels, originals and a more 'modern' set that sets the car/orange off a little more ...
