Absolutely awesome!

Is the the car where the GT Racing CF decks will live?

Nice f'ing job, Felix!

The CF hood "should" be on this car but I have design plans that may be difficult to modify in the CF (I will paint them). I really wanted one without headlight notches but they could be part of the inlets for the twin Boxster rad's...

Joe, I appreciate that coming from you. Since there is so much design details that are currently "open" I can't start off as a clean restoration like your RS. I hope I can afford McMarks services after it's running. You and Brant have been very inspiring.

I will post a parent thread with links to all the "parts" of the project after the WCC05. I'm trying to get my old V8 running first...

(I want to keep this thread focused on the body work)

Not that hard to do...in the picture you can see by the reflection that I need to raise up some areas around the lump....part of the fun. The hardest part is making the other side look the same.

In the fender where the flares taper. An intake in the rocker to feed each of them...ideas for now.

I am normally not a fan of flared cars beyond factory looking flares. However, THAT is one badass looking car. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beerchug.gif)

Michael,

One of the design goals is to make the flares look part of the overall design, not an afterthought (no disrespect to a competition prepped cars). Most of the new Porsches house wide 8", 9", 10", and wider wheels. This "flare" accomplishes that while adding shape to a fairly flat sided car.
