I am starting a thread where 67 S owners doing restoration can look at photos for accuracy and ideas. Will start posting photos once sorted. If you have restored or intend on restoring a 67 S please post close up photos here.
Thanks

Great idea. Lots of information exists here already, but it'll be nice to consolidate everything into a definitive thread.
My meager contribution. Most of the rust actually did buff out. In addition, have been collecting picture of '67S. I'm sure others have also. Should we contribute these? Should have tied these together:
http://www.early911sregistry.org/for...t=swiss+cheese
Awaiting full body pan from Parts-Wise
Wheels at Weidmans (somewhere in cue)
Instruments at North Hollywood
Fan at Mark Motshagen
Brakes, rotors and brake lines received from PMB (Excellent and shown on a prior thread)
Carbs are with Paul Abbot.
Engine at RS Werks in Delaware
Bumper weights from Rick Cabell were picked up at Hershey
Reproduction parts (excellent) from Eric Linden
Total to date $74,304.12. Thought I could bring it in under $100,000.00. Rick Cabell said I couldn't. Rising cost of parts and professional restoration of certain items going through the roof and its going to bring it closer to $125,000.00
Guess I should also add this:

Good stuff!
thanks for adding to the goodies....

I know about the main areas of black, outer foorpan, wheel arches, engine and hood bay etc but it is the fringe areas I'm concerned with. Inside light boxes front and rear, front panel behind the spoiler, inner floor pan surface, sills etc. A recommended product for each finish would be nice too. The layers of application too, black over body colour, black over primer, black over undercoat, vertical surfaces over horizontal differences, the blending of black to body colour,
Basically a once and for all list of the correct finish, texture and product for the job.
I hope this is not going over old ground too much. I apologise if it is but there are certain areas of detail I'm still not too sure about. Pictures of course would be great.
Thanks in advance,
Regards

I second that. Nothing worse than working your tail off for years to get a car "right" then find the experts critiquing the paint color and application.
No people don't do that.Not in front of your face at least.
If you going for accuracy you need bumper wights. Had trouble finding until Rick Cabell came through. Delivered to last Hershey. Set for sale now under parts.
On the issue of paint under grill, I collected this pic along the way. Probably a resto so not definitive but sure looks great.
Jim at EASY supplied bumper weights for my old 67S.
