I am finally in the long hood game.
Going to do a full restoration with period correct color change, period fuchs, period hot rod motor and outlaw inspired interior.

Car was a low mile 1969T Oregon car from Gary Emory's parts obsolete stash back in 1997. Sand Beige with tan interior, chrome wheels and 5 speed.
(Engine and tranny were long gone along with bumpers and front end so i essentially have a roller as a blank canvas)

Got it from a really nice gentleman about 4 hours away from me so i couldnt say no. He is a vintage racer and has a gaggle of old 911 parts.

Car has orginal paint and is soild except for a few little areas which is typical.
(You can see where somebody grinded down the paint and considered chopping out rear fenders for a RS inspired build at some point in its life....)

The seller included GT Racing fiberglass front fenders, bumper and bonnet that were off a 1969 race car that backed into the wall many years ago in the PNW.
They were well fitted and gave me the inspiration to build a lightweight car.

For the rear, the car came with a fiberglass trunk lid and a fiberglass once piece rear bumper from The Racers Group. I think i will use all of it as well.

(my truck and trailer are currently in florida with a 356 project in tow so I had to rent a truck and uhaul trailer to get this little guy in B.C. No shortage of projects going around... )

Here she is before the transformation begins.

Hey, that will be a good project. If we were on the same part of the globe, I'd lend you my leather embossing plates....

Let me introduce you to Brian Farmer, owner of Einmalig in Huntington Beach CA. His warehouse is filled to overflowing with longhood unobtainium. On critical parts like plated fasteners, I can even go there and pull them myself for you if needs be. His website does not do the place justice. It is a restoration goldmine.

Following this. It's important to get the 911 section of Rennlist on it's feet with projects like yours so keep posting progress!

No kidding. I was there last week to pick up a set of banjos, bolts, bleeders, and copper washers to replumb my rear calipers. List price for everything I picked up was a pinch under $140. I was out the door for $40....Granted, some random shmoe off the internet isn't gonna get that deal, but then again that random shmoe isn't gonna go out back and riffle through massive bins himself like I am. Hadn't been there in several months, so it was cool to see the new round of cars they are working on.
