Frank,

It looks great!

I was just watching the youtube Gunnar video series on the restoration of a 917, very impressive, the knowledge they have on Porsche is amazing.

Frank,
When completed, that will be one of the finest in the world, without a doubt.
Just a note;
I bought Avon FIA Rally CR6 22 - DOT tyres from Sasco Sports for my Kremer #376. They supply a lot of the high end cars and are quite knowledgeable. They probably have frequented Lime Rock.
They make a tyre for each the front and rear specific for the different size wheels that has an almost identical diameter when mounted so the car does not sit on a rake. And they don't have AVON in white on the sidewall.
Bruce Canepa @ Canepa Design ended up w/ my car and you can see it on their sold inventory site.
I see the painted bumpers. Are you going lightweight or touring interior?
And the color is definately rare air, congratulations again.
Duane

Frank WOW beautiful car.

I know how it is "while you are in there. . . ." You don't have to make excuses for the pursuit of perfection in this crowd.
