I thought I would share a couple photos of a 911 I have been working on. It came to me with 10 very bad paint jobs, very poorly repaired crash damage and fist sized rust holes in the fenders, rockers and left door jamb. It's far from finished. But at least I now have paint on the doors and shell.

Why is the ruler taped to the door?

No latch in the door. I was using it to hold the door flush with the quarter panel to check the fender alignment.

Couple more photos. This is my friends father in-law's car. We installed the wheels and a 3.0 F.I. in the driveway. We only sent him a photo of the car with the corner of the car cover lifted. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) He hasn't seen it yet.

Thanks Kevin.

Here's how you install a 911 Targa window. Ratchet strap, floor anchors and lots of fear! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) There's about 100 psi on that strap. it's tight!

Looks great Rick. Smart thinking on the targa glass. I don't think I would'a come up with that.

I had 3 pro glass installers chicken out and cancel when they saw the glass. I was really pissed as waiting for them to show slowed the progress on the car by a week and a half. Only way to get it done is to do it yourself. No one will touch a targa glass.

The second trick is to use para cord and double rope it. The first pass may leave a place where the seal didn't climb the lip.

A beautiful looking car!

They were lucky to get you to restore it for them. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif)

I want an early 911 bad!

Rick,
Thanks for sharing your work on the 911 - classic lines. I love the Irish Green color.

I was looking through some photos and though you guys may be interested in the bumper install I did for the 911. The owner wanted a glass bumper. It came with a couple flimsy strips of fiber glass to mount it. Well That was not going to do. I built a inner bumper out of 4130 tubing. I heated and bent the tubing to match the curve of the bumper, made some mounting brackets and bonded it to the back of the glass.
