Yes, Freddie, putting on a front chin spoiler makes all the difference!

Nice to meet you at EASY BTW. (Steve's friend with the viper 73 911)

Congrats on bringing the dream to life. You've been a great help to me with practical advice when I've painted my cars and wish you the very best!

A quality restoration begins with a clean chassis and restoration of the floor. I enjoy seeing my restorations in freshly cleaned metal. A good start ends up in a great finished product...

Rear cross member install and decklid fitted to 3-4 mm. Unless you cut the backsides of the quarters, you will not be able make penetrating welds. The cross member takes on the job of carrying the weight of the engine so, it must be on securely.

Work on the 1967 911S has not subsided. Most of the rust around the front cowl and windshield frames is due to poor application of seals. If seals are not install tightly and evenly, water will find a home inside the channels. Same thing applies to the hood seal towards the rear of the hood. Using cheap seal adhesive that decays rapidly allows water to settle behind the seal and in the channels causing major rust. On this car, I removed completely the entire cowl including the vent box that is welded on to the bottom of the cowl. Removing the panel allows me to clean deeper inside the crevices and apply POR-15 so it seals for good.

TIP: After washing your car, apply some air to blow out the water that may penetrate inside the seals. Same would apply if you drive your car in the rain.

My compressor guy called me up saying he wanted to show me his new 911 mural on his shop truck...this is what he had in mind.

My logo has now been embroidered! The logo will go on a NIKE Swoosh design Golf Dri-Fit Bebble textured Polo shirt. White or Black to choose from. The hat is Flex-Fit Structured cap. White or Black. Still working on the logo symmetry..

Update on the 1967 911S. In order to achieve flat panels that are consisent one must block the entire sides while panels are all fitted and secured. Finish blocking requires lot's of patience and an eye for detail. The idea here is to make the side of the car look like all the panels were made from one solid piece of metal and then the gaps were cut. Once painted the sides should look flush and all the rolls smooth...silver paint is just days away.
