Rich, It's not the width of the stripe, it's the placement.
Well after a six year search I finally pulled the trigger. It's a '69 S that was extensively restored by the PO. New bare-metal paint, rebuilt 2.0 and drivetrain, new headliner, carpet, seats, dash, new brakes, etc. Did my first DIY, a clutch adjustment. Have a lot of projects/upgrades in mind but will keep it totally stock.

Well , its the second time in a year that I have posted a pic of my car on track. Last time it was at a UK track called Castle Combe , this time at a classic car track during a 'classic cars only' event . The track is Goodwood and has been in use since 1950 , never changed so does not suit modern F1 rules , its fast narrow and dangerous - here's the chicane - just right for an early 911 !

Great shot Oldtimer!
Very, very nice Bill. One of my favorite shades of yellow, especially on a '60's 911. After a six year wait you have a lot of driving to do to make up for all that patience.:DQuote:

Hi Tony , I had to fit later wheels with tyre retaining beads so I could run tubeless tyres on track . The tyres are Avon CR6ZZ all round , rears are 215/60 X15 fitted on DAGE Compomotive 7X15 split rim wheels. The wheels have 36mm offset and fit without spacers on the unmodified 69 rear arches.Quote:

Can recommend the Avons but they are not cheap !

They are very light , about same as Fuchs . Car originally had rare Fuchs 7Rs fitted.Quote:

Finally got the old sow looking more presentable than it has been for a long time.
I'm debating whether to press on with the "Rallye" conversion, i.e. the two-tone motif, and have the front lid painted in the light color as well. I am not really trying to emulate any particular historic rally machine, but must admit to being so impressed with the Hart Ski car ( photo attached) when I saw it at Fantasy Junction last year that it was insrtant infatuation.
Yes, I know it's the reverse of mine, Light Ivory and Tangerine, but I figured I could take a little artistic license and pretend that my modified Continental orange and '54 Mercedes 300S "Adenauer" Ivory combination was a close enough "film negative" of the '68 rally car, to where I could pull it off without it being a blatant rip-off copy.
As soon as I get the 15x8 Minilites for the rear from Harvey W. and install a few more unique details I've dreamed up and created for ol' Ruprecht I'll finally be able to call it DONE !
