Pretty cool, Scott. I knew Pete had sold the car, but didn't know you bought it. A hot rod patterned on that '72 prototype will be awfully cool.

I usually change the tinted windows when I build a hot rod to clear but the glass on this car is so nice that I'm going to keep the green tint as I think it will look good with the Signal Green color. Stoddard sells the rear windscreen with the green tint and no defrost so I'm going to do that. I'm even probably going to keep the glove box door in it as well. Crazy right? Haha

sweet build, and clever to go with the '72 prototype. Looking forward to reading about this one.
Are you going to go full-out and replicate whatever chassis "enhancements" the prototype had? Did it have reinforced aluminum trailing arms?
Also, are you going to do just the RS arches, or the full lightweight panel? I ask because eventually I need to dump my SC flares for RS flares...

The exterior of the car will look like the RS prototype but I'm making changes to the interior and some other stuff. It's a hot rod so I can have some fun! I'm not using the factory sport seats I'm going with RS seats and going with lightweight door panels like I usually do. I'm not going to leave the trunk black I will go body color in the trunk. No, I don't believe the RS prototype had aluminum arms but that's a no brainer for me. I'm just doing RS arches as there's no way I'm removing factory perfect rear quarters. Plus, the RS quarters you buy from Porsche are just too damn expensive. But, even if someone gave me a pair for free I still wouldn't cut off the ones on the car. I will do the RSR welded in front strut mounts and run the strut bar but that's all as far as reinforcements.

When I had the engine out the first time I cleaned up the engine bay and repainted it and added a new engine sound pad bought from Alex on this site. I restored the flapper boxes as well and replaced the rubber seal in the engine bay.

Love those tires Scott....had them on my 73 with the wide wheels.
Did you get those from Lucas Classic Tires?
