I say narrow, yellow, 6.

Edit: I just realized I'm late to the color debate. Nice find.

Your not late. I'm just not doing any bodywork or paint right now. the next challenge is getting a six in and running in a day. Next Saturday.



Are you going to bring this one to Hershey?

Yes

It sounds like you found a great deal on the car. I'd love to do an article about how to get into a six for a reasonable cost.

6pm to 12pm Tuesday night.
Almost done but not in time for Hershey.

Russo had to steal an oil fitting from the 962 to route the lines. It made my day.

I have a titanium bolt from a 917 holding my fan shroud.

A Porsche Factory Racing Management friend, give me a small bucket of 917 fasteners.

Fun Stuff

We also ran custom oil lines to the front of the car - up one side, return down the other. Just seemed to fit better that way.

Also installed the rennshift shifter and linkage I purchased a couple years ago. 5 lug and solid rotor m calipers, 911 rear hubs, stubs and cv's.

We deleted the engines oil cooler with an air cooled racing bracket. All the oil cooling will come from the front oil cooler.

I like the Blue with the flares, and the Yellow with the stock fenders.

What Im kind of chewing on is in what configuration would it be more Valuable

Suppose it has a lot to do with the buyer.

Both configurations are great looking.

Made an air block off plate since the engine is missing it's oil cooler. All the cooling will be done by the front cooler. Also added a T to the line so I can dump the oil for an oil change. It looks low but I still have to install the headers. 2 weeks left to finish the car for Octeenerfest. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

I can't find the front sway bar (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)
