More and more I am thinking that building a hot rod early 911 might be very interesting and will keep me out of trouble.

A couple of questions.

What would be a good starting point SWB or LWB?


If I go with SWB, since it is getting hard to find inexpensive 911, would a 912 body suffice, are there any structural differences between the two?

I am looking to build, slightly flared rear, stock front fender, rally lights possibly four in total (Cibies), vintage racing seat, roll cage, and an appropriate powered engine. I like the look of the Rgroup cars, especially the yellow one I have seen with gas fill in center of front hood.

Can someone direct me to what I should concentrate first off in purchasing a body?
