Great look'n hot rod !!!
Thank you all for the nice words...she is as finished and pretty on the underside too...will provide a more detailed and complete set of photos soon. This has been an enjoyable and liberating build after having done two concours correct 73 and 70 S cars. I wanted slate gray so for paint mixing simplicity I chose the same color code. that was on my 2014 50th Anniversary 991.
. . . re-homogenized some 1%
.................
I envy you guys.
I just sent another $20,000 check to the shop that is restoring my car. I am not worried as the car is progressing nicely into what I envisioned.
I am stuck with driving a water cooled 991.1 3.4L Carrera:

My 73 developed a loud grating noise. Rhythmical, on every revolution of the left rear wheel. Got under it and found the handbrake cable resting where it shouldn't. The handbrake cable guide broke leaving the cable hanging. Stoddard has it.

Well, yesterday....
Put on a new set of TOYO RA-1's...
Those who read my article in the last ESSES know this last set were just about 'there'.... :o
This last set lasted me a little over a year and about 6000 miles... That was with one remount of fronts to backs (I run the same size tires on 7's & 8's)
Eric Williams turned me on to a small place in Whittier CA. that specializes in racing tires...
For the SoCal locals... the guys, the place, and prices were great !!!
And their racers themselves... and into it !!! …. ;)
