QUOTE Your guy isn't wasting any time No shit... in fact, he's got the longitudinal welded on. He'd have the inner wheel housing done but he ran out of gas last night. Inner wheel housing and front fender go back on today. I'll follow up later tonight with pics. Z... thanks. (for both the offer and the TREMENDOUS ass shot in the avatar... DAMN... I wanna bite that thang!!). I think Brad's getting the whole lot together and putting it on a truck TODAY! (right Brad?) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Actually, Troy has enough patch work to keep himself busy for a few more days but then it's rear quarter time. Film at 11:00 |

no hurry... I want to finish the 911RS and the 914-6 before I go headlong into the GT. I'm just collecting parts. Whatever's convenient for you.
Thanks, E. |

Cool. Lots of travel in the next 4 weeks. I'm looking at Memorial weekend for the tub surgery.

Who's doing the work, Eric? Is it someone on the board? They sure seem to understand 914s, and the work is happening at an amazing rate.

QUOTE Who's doing the work, Eric? Troy Lundquist of Lundquist Restorations. They're about 1/2 a mile from my house. Funny thing... I used to drive by and see all these cool cars there. From the front it looks like a regular house but in the two garages that are attached to the house is a shop and a spray booth (garage and more shop out back). I was looking to have my 911 turned into a full blown RS conversion. By that time I knew they were shooting cars there. I stopped in to ask him if he could weld on the flares because I had real factory RS flares and I wanted to make sure they could do the job right. He took me into the shop and I saw a 50 era Jag on a rotisserie (sic) being welded together from two seperate tubs. It became a show car. Upon further questioning I found out they won a national event for Jaguar with one of their restorations. I knew I had my shop. The paint jobs are not your standard $3k jobs but I feel their worth it. In fact, they lost one competition because the paint was too good. Judges would complain that "Jaguar never had a paint and finish that looked like that." I'd have to agree. My 911 really is better than factory, even the glass (bumpers, ducktail, hood) |

Fender should go on today. Someone on the list sold me the fender and I can't remember who...?? I had it sandblasted and it came out great.
Identify yourself! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
