Well after two years of working on the chassis this morning she was picked up by the painter. My GT clone will be painted the original color L11D Berber yellow. I'll get her back early January. To this point I have done everything myself, I welded the GT flares,welded all the various chassis stiffening pieces including the Engman kit. Did the 911 5 lug conversion using 911 struts up front ( 3 inch ) and Eric Shea converted rear hubs. Elephant Racing polybronze suspension bushings on all four corners with 911 ebrake. Brakes are 911 M calipers on all four corners. Stock torsion bars up front with 19mm adjustable sway bar. In back Konis with 140 lb. springs. Power for this bad boy will be a 1978 big port 911SC 3.0 with 40mm Weber carbs. Exhaust is ceramic coated headers and the muffler will be a M&K 2 in 2 out stainless steel beauty. I am really excited to be at this point (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) The beer will taste sweet later today. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)

I appreciate the feedback. I have never taken on a project of this size and there were times that I thought I was in over my head. But forums like this one make the flow of information so easy that's it's easier to make it thru the rough spots. I'm guessing I'll have another 3 months or so of work to put back all the pieces and install the engine and tranny. I'm shooting for March as a goal to hear the motor roar but we'll see. I'll send pics when she's back from the painter. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)

Hey guys today I went over to the painters shop to see how the car was coming along. Unfortunately my painter got sick during the holiday and fell behind on schedule. No big deal she's coming along fine. I spent 5 hours today sanding the car down with Scotchbrite pads to knock down the existing paint. The doors have had the small door dings filled and blocked and look great. The fender flares are getting final coats of filler and will be primed / blocked this week. Still on schedule to be painted by end of month (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) I snapped a few pics today..........enjoy.

Rick you should have asked to borrow some other wheels, so those don't get overspray on them.

You and I have a race on the paint, that I'm sure you are going to win.

We need a smilee with a paint gun. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

TC I don't want to race I just want it done (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) And no worry on the wheels, Ed ( the painter ) has wheel covers he puts over the wheels each time he sprays primer. And all four wheels WILL be covered when she gets painted. I let him know up front how much each wheel costs (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Which car of yours is getting painted? Is it the one with Gary?
