I got one of the bodies back from media blast and overall it's not to bad. My big delivery comes next week of flares etc etc. In the meantime I'm restoring the parts I'll reuse. I started with the pedal box and rebushed everything and added pedal covers. I got 930 trailing arms which I had vapor blasted. They look new!

These are some of the reinforcements I'm doing. Front swaybar mount, Front strut, rear spring plate, rear shock tubes, front shock tubex, new rear sway bar mounts (not shown). This is going to be a street car, is undercoating recommended as original on these early 911's? I think there are also a few other reinforcements that can be done. I know one is near the rear seat section.

Looks like a good start, the car I'm thinking of by TRE/Dave B. is "the Fraise car" - very very stiff after they got done
a street car should definitely get undercoating

You're building two of these things??
What are your goals for the car you keep? Dailyish driver? Track monster? Replica?
The one you keep should be heavily informed by the climate, roads, and type of driving it will be doing. Hot rods are pretty standard. Well-balanced cars that you want to drive often require honesty, self-reflection, and iteration.

My goal is to build an over the top tribute, for my own taste. I'm not building them for the track although the way I'm building them I'm sure they could be used that way. I'm building it for the street as a fun car to drive, lots of power and the beauty of an RSR! I've never done a Porsche but after taking it apart I do know exactly what I want to do. I won't be cutting any corners and I don't have a budget. The motor will be awesome, which Gamroth is building with about 350 HP. I'm not an expert or a professional. Just love these cars and thought it would be a fun project. I was inspired by Dave Keohola and his beautiful build!
