Bryan Burnworth would be a good choice for these softer paints- he does great work

Thanks for the tip Michael. I've heard of Bryan through some 356 folks who were very pleased with his work.
He's on my short list for sure
You and I need to sync up over your latest garage entry soon...
Had this off the car recently. One of my favorite parts on the front cooler'ed early 911s.
For 69, it is magnesium. Can someone confirm whether or not this went to aluminum for 70?
I noticed a couple 70S threads getting bumped lately with updates around this piece.
901.107.241.04, but shows up in both the 65-69 and 70-73 PETs as 901.107.901.00.
Anyway, some parts porn pics.

I'll answer my own question now that I am off the iPad and can use search more effectively with the laptop:

Yes, two different parts. Still not sure which years got what part

Maybe Dave (Cornpanzer) could say what is on his 70s:

Cool part. What did you take it off? Leak and cleanup?
Hi Mark,
Removed the console to remove the tank to clean it.

My filter console in my 70S is magnesium. It was a late 69 build if that matters. It was very corroded around the filter, and leaking, but a shop here was able to re-weld material onto it, and machine it down to look like new. I had thought that they were not repairable, but learned otherwise.
Thanks for the data point, Chuck
. . . two years?
Time for an üpdate, definitely

Hey Rick:
Back in the spring, I sold the car to an enthusiast friend who is loving the car as much as I did. My life has become completely overwhelmed with family life and career and I wasn't able to give the car the attention it deserved.
It continues to drive completely reliably and spirited and has never let any of us down in the seven years I've known it.
Don't be surprised to see it on Instagram sometime on some sort of cross country trip. It is driven and enjoyed.
I have to admit I got a little choked up a few weeks back when the new owner (my buddy) sent me the below picture from the Blue Ridge Parkway:

As the third owner, he was channeling Captain Mike, way back from page one of this thread.
Below is the Blue Metallic 68L trade-in on my car and Captain Mike, way back in Sept. 68.
Attachment 466118
I couldn't be happier where the car is now and look forward to seeing it from time to time. Full visitation rights!

Seven years, you say? . . . thought it was longer
But --- a lot can happen in seven years, huh? . . . and not just with cars
I always say --- cars aren't just about money . . . it's about what you had to give-up to buy/own/keep 'em around
So I hope the car gave you something back when it left . . . and not just money
And glad to see that you're still here/posting
Maybe you can persuade The Next Owner to contribute some, as well? . . .
. . . and he The Next?
I mean . . .
. . . these cars should out-live us all
Now? --- for the record . . .

Why would someone repaint that original paint car?
It was an original paint car until 1980.
Any updates, Bryce?
Miss zis one

I saw the car recently. It looks fabulous. Still in the hands of a good friend who is treating it well. Eliminated the erroneously placed passenger side mirror and waiting to replace the side stripes.

It's part of a collection of air cooled Porsches that includes numerous four cams, other early 911s, a few PreAs, and some top of the world VWs, including a 46 Beetle and 69 Notchback with under 5k miles.
Raising a young family has my priorities focused on vicariously enjoying these old cars at the moment.
Good hands indeed !!
This is a remarkable thread front to back, full of details and period options.
So nice this was documented and shared. Somehow I had never seen it till today.
Well worth the read. Scott
