    How is the body quality?
    Keep us updated, this is going to be a very cool project to follow.
    What is your estimation for build time?
    All the best,
    Mike

    Mike, the build looks very clean, the lines are about perfect.
    Not sure on the build time, I don't think anyone has ever done this before so there will be a lot of trail and error. Normally I work on my own stuff one day a week. It took me 5 years to do the last car, but only the last 2 years was steady working. Bear in mind, that car left the factory in 58 as a coupe.

    The sixer is getting her new gearbox this week. Do you think I need more tire back there?

    Just picked up the car, it is running wonderfully, hoping to find a big empty parking lot to let loose in, if not I might risk putting Dealer Plates on it, but I might not be able to talk my way out of that one.
    The body is all ready for display for the open house on Saturday Sept. 5th, hope to see everyone there.

    Also, Max is ready to race!

    I had a rare opportunity to study and photograph a very early 904 yesterday, 904-0014. A friend was very kind and let me crawl all around the car he has had for over 40 years. He was also a wealth of info on the cars since when he bought his car it was in a million pieces, so he knows every inch of it after 40 years of assembly.
    It was cool and also once again surprising how small they really are!

    I have has 0 time to work on the car for the last few weeks. Trying to get as many cars out the door before the snow hits I guess. I did score an important piece yesterday though, a rear clip from a SAAB Sonett. Why a Sonett clip? Because Porsche used SAAB tail lights for the 904. The guy made me take the whole clip. I was on my way to Delaware yesterday and grabbed this in Jersey.
