    Thank you, it's a lot of fun. 622 beige grey, single stage enamel as original. Here's a close up under shop light and some natural light.
    It looks darker or lighter depending on light conditions.

    I'll measure it. This is a Euro car and i thought i set it to correct spec. It does look high in the pic on the scale. Thank you Chris.

    Boy these French boobie lights are bright.(now H4s)
    The freedom of an R like build is great fun.
    The green non matching '67 build will be an R tribute.

    For anyone in the Philadelphia/Jersey area in need of an alternator rebuild I'd recommend you use Paul at
    PCI Alternators.

    Paul's a great guy and just moved his South Philly shop to New Jersey.

    Honest as the day is long and helpful.

    It's tough sharing in more than one forum and I know the guys over in Pelican better.

    This is a link to a really rough East Coast (aren't they all) '67 911 found w/o motor or trans. My customer (Porschenutt) would like to build a hotrod out of this car once I make it strong and pretty.

    I wouldn't pay any attention to raspy2 , he needs to look at some period photos. i think the car looks spot on for a factory ride height .

    The 68 settled down and is about right for PA roads (read: they suck!)

    Nice pics. I like a little more downward rake though.
