"Old Heap" has [B]not[/B] produced a "convertible coupe." I've seen it and it is 100% Porsche... 100% Outlaw and totally Speedster in its form. No photo shop work here. It is the ultimate outlaw, in my humble opinion. He is a very talented guy and the finished car will be stunning.

Just BEAUTIFUL work ! ! ! That "Speedster" just looks wonderful, especially in that shade of silver.

PLEASE post more pictures as soon as you can. Congratulations on some exceptionally well done craftsmanship and artistry.

I love it when someone says don't do it. I'm seriously thinking about doing the same thing to my car. I will be retired in 7 months so I have the rest of my life to get it right.

More pics please!

Not too much new to show you, the finish cured for about a month before color sanding and polishing. But now, the final assembly is finally beginning.

I'll take the one one the left! My 912, almost ready to go.

Wow, looking very nice there. I'm all for pissing off the purists and curmudgeons. What all have you done to the motor? And why are you going with carbs instead of EFI?

Thanks for sharing the pics Dude! Love your work, keep up the good work. Post some pics when you're done. Can't wait to see that Coupe.

:corn:

I don't know about everyone else, but I'd love to see some updated pics on Old Heap's project, its been awhile.

Your car is absolutely gorgeous. Thanks for sharing the shots. The silver makes it look like it was carved from a silver ingot.

Assembly Progress
 

It's always slow going with a unique project, a lot of unknowns are still out there to be discovered and resolved. But here is where I'm at.

The steering wheel is a combination of a stock 356A hub from a trashed wheel and an aluminum circle track sprint car wheel.

Homemade stainless fuel tank straps, and aluminum driving light brackets.
No bumpers planned.
