^^^ Very nice! I like the two-tone and complimentary piping.

Did you do the work yourself or have it done? Any tips?

great work except you put the steering wheel back in on the wrong side

Uber 911

Hi scott, Mostly DIY - Originally all Linen however, I binned the carpets and put black lightweight using a clever tip from a trimmer friend to get a real nice flush/butt fit where they meet.

Door cards are DIY using fiber board(as Porsche did), I recessed the speakers by mounting them direct to door with the cover bonded to the door card, then the best part of half a cow to cover them. Center consol is black Alcantara, nice material to work with because its thin but will stretch..

Seats were done by a specialist including the piping for less than $200

Yes she does. And she turns 40 tomorrow...

I'm sure she would pose again, but we'll have to borrow somebody's Porsche! We're "currently between Porsches". Of course, that could change this weekend (the way we go through them).

I was looking through my photographic archives at work, and found this old pic of the 914-6 (Mike, I know you've been wanting a pic for a while of this one).

Doug&Julie, happy Birthday!

RJT

Tell her HAPPY BIRTHDAY for me! The 40's were a piece of cake. WAIT till the 50's!!!!

Ya know..... her calendar shot should be posted in this thread. She was posing with your 911 Come on POST IT!!!! It's a great shot!

Doug&Julie

Thanks! We're not worried about the 40s (I hit it in July). Really life is pretty good. Other than being Porsche-less...

Well it does have 911 content... First one was the calendar pic and the second one was close runner up. Ladies and gents...my 40 y/o pin-up..

RJT

What a cool hubby you are Sure does have 911 content.


I wonder where I'll take my picture this year. We don't have a beautiful garage like the last one was

although my garage is a mess - I would be more than happy to offer the space



<doh, here comes a SMACK!>

rusnak

wait a second. JA, I saw your pics on Reutterwerk. You guys have have some very cool cars, and I'm sure it'll be fantastic.

Doug&Julie

Neither do we. Fortunately, we do have a three car garage, so we had room to stage one side for the shoot. Basically, we cleaned out on side, hung some black sheets / fabric to frame the car and Julie, added some lights (one on each side of Julie and the one in the engine bay for a little "backlight") and staged some "tools" around Julie. For the final shot, I did some Photoshop work to just black out the surrounding space. Easy Peasy!

Behind the scenes shots?? I made sure I deleted ALLLLL those. Robert was having too much fun with the camera and I wanted to make sure they were GONE GONE GONE!!! You know, for when I get famous. I don't want him selling them to TMZ. LOL!!!! They were BAD as in AWEFUL BAD.
