    Smith's 911T/ Excellence Article

    I'm surprised not to see any posting on the Excellence article that Dave Conklin wrote on Smith's car.

    Dave... you are the man. You are an awesome writer I loved every part of the piece. Great images too!

    I wish I could write like you!

    Thanks... Earl

    Hi Earl,
    I agree. I've seen the car, and it is a sweetheart. But reading the article made me appreciate it even more. Very well done!

    Yep, the limited slip will get you every time.

    Well I'm sure Smith's mom and dad must have known they had a prodigy in their house when their young, 13 year old son created such a high level restoration/creation in their garage.


    Kidding aside, the car is truely amazing considering how long ago Jeff did the car and the amount of workmanship he did himself. Very creative to produce a 'French delivery' model. The details are really over the top. Nice job too D.C. for capturing it for us to enjoy.
