71S found in driveway, heavily optioned. They are still out there!!!

Here is the problem with the reproduction fenders, esp. the Restoration Design ones. The lip is much too wide. The originals are almost a 90 degree angle, thus the nice gap. The reproductions have lost this. Thus, i do NOT recommend the Restoration Design fenders.

Good thing that we removed this seat track mount !! The bolts were a rusted bear to remove.

More photos. A big box from King of Trim came with the chrome door trim and rear quarter panel windows chrome trim and front/rear hood latches. Still a ways to go !!! Thanks for following this blog !!

George, I really appreciate you sharing all this build information. Two questions; first in one of the photos of the inside of the top there appeared to be sound deadening, was it and was it on all of the roof? second, the photo of the engine showed later SSI heat exchangers, with all the intake heat, etc. One had none. What did you eventually go with?
Thanks again, can't get enough detail on these projects.

Rusty, on my 70S, it's only three glued strips of deadener running longitudinally from the rear to the front. The strips are approx. 6 in wide. This is attached directly to the roof panel then a thin layer of foam is glued up there above the headliner ribs.

Does Porsche source their new repro fenders from Dansk?

Thanks Michael. Now George, the heat exchangers?

Thanks for those comments, George. Words and pics might give someone else a better idea of what's involved w/ making RD's bits 'work.' Sorry to hear that it didn't work out

Thanks Rick !! Sorry for the long delay in updating !! I always appreciate your enthusiasm in these blogs !! The pics below post #131 show the difference between the factory (upper pic) and the RD (lower pic) fenders. RD did not seem interested with this info. Thus, the Stoddard ones. Now, onward .... !!

Many of the parts, including the fenders sold by Restoration Design are not their own stampings, they are simply resellers of poorly fitting Dansk parts.
