Its not bragging if you are bragging for your brother, right? My (younger!) brother and R Gruppe member Gary Schultz is getting major kudos for his work on Pixar's 'Cars', out next week, but he's too shy to post this himself:

The current issue of Pano also has a shot of him in front of Pixar with his '67 S, I have electronic copies of it if anyone is interested.
Thanks,
David
That Pano article was great. I hope he joins us. I'd like to hear more about his 67S. From the article, it said it is his daily driver! Right on.

I haven't posted anything to the S Registry board in a long time and several people have put in a ton of help in getting my car completed recently, so I thought I'd write in to say thanks, and highlight their work. Thanks to my brother, Kevin Beard, Chris Genau, Jim Breazeale and John at Easy, and others for helping to keep the project on track.
My car is a 1967 911S Coupe, original paint, original California car with fully documented history and a few modifications. Original 901 gearbox and matching-number 2-liter motor. The theme for the car was inspired by the 1967 911 that Vic Elford drove to first place at the Monte Carlo Rally.
Here are the modifications;
3-outlet Rally Exhaust built by Jay Sycip (we started with a stock Dansk)
911R Rainshields (also from Jay)
Peet's Coffee tea strainers to keep small animals and roadside vegetation out of the carbs (this'll soon be replaced with some type of proper air filtering--although it sounds wonderful with this setup)
MSD Ignition (hidden under the passenger seat)
Blaster Coil made to look like the stock Bosch unit (all of the electronics were all done by the amazing Steve Smith in the Bay Area)
Modified Oil overflow tank
911R replica seats
908 wood shift knob
New Coco mats (pattern taken from the originals)
duckbill-seat leather belts
refinished Wood steering wheel to replace the Prototipo (thanks Rolly!)
Factory A/C (ok, this is not consistent with the rest of the car's theme, but it's original to the car)
Factory AM/FM/SW radio (apologies to the RGruppe, but the hole is already there and the interior is all original, so . . .)
Dual-adjustable rear Koni competition shocks
original NOS-Driving light horn grilles (thanks Eric Linden!)
Cibie 45 driving lights
911R-offset 6-inch front and 7-inch rear Steel wheels (sorry, I don't have pictures of the car with these on yet--right now it's deep-six Fuchs all around)
Vintage Dunlop racing tires
thanks Bro,

One more for kicks.

Hi Gary!
I am sad that I missed you in Sonoma...
Must have been driving... :rolleyes:
I again had a BLAST coming out for this!
Your car looks ****HOT, Dude!!!:) :eek: :cool:
LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!
Can't wait to see the 'CARS' movie...that ROCKS!!!
I heard there is a Porsche in it, was there no way to convince anybody of using an early car...:p :D ;) ???
Cheers!!
Thorsten
:) here is a pic with the steel wheels
Would like to add that Gary's mug, along with his other Cars car-guy cohorts, are in the featured article in the May 29 issue of AutoWeek magazine.
Caption reads, "Gary Shultz, modeler and artist, is big into the vintage Porsche 911 scene."
Nice job Gary.
Regards,
Sherwood
Way, Way, Way Cool Gary. I love the details and that shift knob is just right. The AC looks perfect as does the stance etc.....Sheeeeiiiiiitttttt that is one Sweet 67S.
I'd love to learn more about the 3 out muffler. Did you say you started with a stock Dansk unit? I just pulled my SS Dansk off my car and replaced it with the stock unit. If you could PM me with details and a number for Jay, I'd appreciate it.
Can't wait for the movie man. Congrats on all fronts.
Talk soon bud,
CT
Damn Dave, your bro's car puts your's to shame! We'll remedy that quickly, thanks to your imminent return to the midst of the PNW. :D Imagine that, you'll actually be able to attend an RGruppe event with a car. ;)
Gary's work on CARS was major, and the CNN TV story with Paul Newman showed some of it - Cool!! I haven't been to a theatre in years, but this film is an exception!
Congratulations, Gary!! Your car looks great too. ;)
Dave, we look forward to seeing you in the PacWest chapter! :)
Gary-
I just saw the movie "Cars" with my wife and 4 year old son. It was fantastic! You guys really did a great job! It is the first movie I have been to in a long time where the audience clapped afterward. Well done!
FWIW, I saw The Incredibles for the first time last week and will be taking a trip immediately to see Cars. The writing and art/art direction are so far ahead of the medicority coming out of other studios. Great job.
Kenik,
Correct, Gary's car is in a different league, and will stay there... I'll never catch up, but I'm glad to be coming back.
Not to brag too much, but you guys really do have to see 'Cars'- just saw it this afternoon, and it truly is a fantastic car movie, with all the details just spot on. Well, most of the details: my old Miata makes multiple appearances as a couple of NASCAR girl groupies...
"Miata makes multiple appearances as a couple of NASCAR girl groupies..."
I dunno, that sounds like good casting to me. :D
Just saw CARS last night and it's FANTASTIC!!!!
Finally another movie made for 'us' ...
Was smiling so much I must have missed some of the detail... will have to go back for another look this week ... :D
Cheers to Gary and all involved.... it's'a home run
Went to the drive in and injoyed "Cars" alot, very good and nice 67:)
Wish i bought stock in pixar/ disney before this movie came out!
It was awesome!! one of our techs' fiance works for Disney so we got 3rd row center at the El Capitan on Hollywood Blvd for a midnite showing. Lots of laughs and tons of details in the movie- pay attention when you see it!
Full sized Sally 911, Lightning Mc Queen , and Tow Mater were up front. The stock car has the coolest curves ever found on a door slammer- even if it is a cartoon come to life!
