R Decklid - Thank You Mr. Bob Tilton!

[t6dpilot]

I finally got my R decklid mod done ala the Tilton method. Took me a couple of months as I am burning the candle at both ends with work, but I got 'er done. A big thanks goes to Bob for sharing the procedure with us and to Michael Downing for providing the base grill to work with. Here is an opportunity to highlight another R decklid mod. And to unabashadly show pictures of my car...

your car looks awesome, do you have closer photos of the grille

[t6dpilot]

Thank you. I took a couple before I removed the grill before final paint. I will try to find those. Just let me know if there is a view you would like to see in particular.

Scott,

Car and photos are great. I like the look.

[Rico]

Good job! your 911 is looking sweet.
Keep it up.

Man you sure know the right time of day to photograph - love the saturated rich color color. Looks great Scott!

[Bert]

Great looking car. How much does the car weigh?

More detail photos of the deck lid would be appreciated.

[CurtEgerer]

Looks good Scott ... what's next on the list?

Again, thanks for the compliments guys - means a lot coming from long time early 911 hotrodders.

Bob, thanks for the photo kudos. They are not the greatest (like yours), but are the best I could do on quick notice. I was excersizing the car after final grill install and saw the end to the overcast day and clear skies for the evening (pilots tend to watch that stuff) and I thought, gotta get home to wash and photo - the light is going to be great. I actually got the last rays of useable light in a very narrow area of the grass.

Bert, when I last had the car weighed and corner balanced, it came in at 2125 lbs with 3/4 tank of gas. I am going by memory though, so I could be off. It probably now weighs 2124 lbs 12oz since I drilled the rear hinges to go with my new grill.

Curt, not tellin' bro. You'll just have to wait and see. I will have a really hard time keeping up with you though. Your red interior may have given me inspiration to do something I have wanted to do since I got the car, but that will probably have to wait. Actually, what's always next is to fix that damn cutout problem.
