    Hi Cam:

    Like Eliza Doolittle, she is transforming as if under the hand of Pygmalion from commoner to duchess, learning all the proper diction of a Type 911S competition type .

    Dave at Sasco Sports picked out a nice 5.00L with an unblemished sidewall for the spare. It is mounted on a deep six finished in standard anodizing and satin black paint. We left the Dunlop sticker on the tread for some added detail.

    BobTilton provided the inspiration for a detailed, sanitary fuel bay...

    You do realize that you are talking to a bunch of car guys, right?

    Can you keep it at a 2.9 GPA level for the rest of us?

    Tom,
    I've been in research mode lately on the board trying to extract "exacting" details and I can't tell you how many times this thread has come up. It is just a huge wealth of info that I hope is never lost. I am forever grateful for your knowledge but more so your willingness to share and document this over-the-top build with rippling effects in the Porsche community.
    And to keep it 2.9 GPA - a phat mother effin thank you Tom!

    If I don't lay eyes on this car this year, I'm not sure I will be able to continue living.

    Tom,
    The attached photos I hi-jacked from your thread & a report on the Essen show of just this past weekend reveals you have admirers world-wide...........confirming that imitation is indeed the highest form of flattery.

    Do you know anything about that effort ?

    Tribute

    JZG:

    Thank you for your post of the image from Essen taken this past weekend.

    At first I thought it was just another hot rod.

    But seeing it sitting there, cloaked in Olive, in an almost identical stage of assembly and posed in a familiar attitude on a similar roll around dolly it bears an uncanny resemblance. And really, as you point out, it is a striking likeness of the image of the project car posted circa Dec 2009.

    Really I had no idea.

    Nobody would believe me, would they, if I dared to utter the words. Could it be? Could it possibly be? Gad it might just be true.

    OLIVE TART TRIBUTE CAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Gosh, not even Snoopy II or the Banana Boat have tribute car builds to memorialize them.

    Astonishing.
