hi
do you have the color code for the red paint?

I do not. It's a custom mix I had done. I have 3 spray cans of it left but shipping to Norway would be a real pain. Stoddard has them in the proper color now and you can buy the whole new flapper box from them. I believe there's are powder coated and they come from Germany. If I'm remembering that right from what they told me at Rennsport Reunion.

Was a real pain restoring the trunk carpet snaps. The new ones are yellow zinc and the snap is a grey color. So, I sanded the original ones by hand so not to mess up the silver snap. Taping the snap off took pin striping tape to stick. Then respray black. Good times.

The 72 received it's first wax job in 14 years since I started the restoration. Who knows how many years before that? Dry wash, clay bar prep and then the wax. The wax used comes from a OCD Porsche guy I've painted a couple cars for. You have to join some secret society of crazy wax people to get it. It comes from some secret place from a undisclosed country. It's all very weird and creepy but man is it great stuff! It's like no other wax I've ever seen or used. I had my friend John Kraft detail the car as it's his business and he's a Porsche owner as well.

That 72 looks like a million bucks Scott. Yes John has OCD like crazy. Great guy and excellent driver.

Well, I had planned on keeping this one until the end but it's time to let someone else enjoy this beautiful Porsche. I drove it 2 times around the block before I started the restoration and 5 miles since it was restored. It's ready for a museum, to be judged at shows in the restored class or just driven and enjoyed. It will be on Bring A Trailer soon. I can be contacted through this site if there's any questions about the car. Just send me a pm. Really wanted to keep this one but such is life. -Scott
