    That's a great looking car Bruce. Nicely done. Can you tell me what you went with for tire brand/size? Are those 15X7's front, 15X8's rear, and are front fenders modified from original '76 at all?

    Thanks.

    Jim

    Thanks everyone, I am lucky to have an amazing resource in my hometown of Casper, WY, S and L Classics did the restoration on this one. I brought the 911 in on June 6 or so and they finished it in just over three months. Glasurit paint and Lakewell carpets make the restoration results very nice.

    The rear flares are Carrera flares sourced from an 88 Carrera, they came from dc Automotive. No modifications to the front fenders were necessary.

    The wheels came from autoclub911 advertised right here on Early S. Great service and products!! They are Fuchs from the early 80s, 7" front and 8" rear. Tires are Sumitomos from tirerack.com, 195 65 15 front and 215 60 15 rear.

    Thanks for the information and inspiration Bruce. Chrome trim/mirrors, euro bumpers, flares, wheels/tires, clean decklid...all so appealing. Was never considering the longhood backdate path with my '77, but your direction has me thinking.

    Interesting to see the nice (to my eye) look of black anodized trim with black fuchs on the auction car, and your match of bright trim & RSR fuchs. (Prefer yours FWIW for a bit more of a vintage feel.)
