SPECTACULAR work, per usual.

THAT is a "driver's car"...you better be "up on the wheel of THAT thing"...or she'll get AWAY from you quick-like!

Just caught the photos of the shifter knob. Pretty neat. Did you do anything with it? Looks a bit worn.

SO easy to forget how great steering wheels were pre airbags.

Nice work as usual!

Something I didn’t know I needed to see until now. Gorgeous. Excellent work.
If it had the 930 wide body it would be perfection. And maybe a whale tail.


Pick your poison.

Thanks everyone!

Bob, nope, I didn't want to attempt to polish it up in fear of smoking thru the clear. And it looked pretty good with a little patina!

Great looking SC. I love the color, and I'm glad that they didn't backdate it to a longhood car. I love the impact bumper 911s. You did great work with it, I like the "Auto Dermatology" name. Very clever.
