It's always a big accomplishment when you get to primer day! Even a rust and accident free chassis takes a lot of time to get to this stage. Anytime you do a color change it's just a ton of work. Anyway, flares are on, gaps are dialed in and primer now drying. Paint and body work just simply takes a lot of time, beats up your body and gets you dirty as hell.

I've bumped up a couple of things on the build. Now it will be a 3.5L engine built by Rothsport instead of the 3.2! GT3 crank, ported heads, twin plug, EFI and all the good stuff. I'm also going to install right off the bat the Elephant 930 brakes which I always was going to do anyway but I thought I'd start with a set of S brakes I had restored but nope right to the 930's with the added HP.

Scott,
Whoa. That engine will pack some hella punch.
Having a been a painter in the early days the primer is the best of all the steps. Color is fun, but not relaxing like the primer.

when you shoot the primer, not the action of just covering the bare metal, but actually are priming for the purpose of the sanding out phase
That is truly a special time

Jeff built me a 3.5 for my ST years back it was just the best engine I've ever owned! I'll post dyno results when it's done.

The 930 brake set up looks great. Can you tell us the weight penalty when you use larger 930 rotors over the 911S brake set up that you originally intended?

Thanks,
