Thanks guys.......I am very happy so far with the sound of the car. There is no glass, fenders, hood or interior in the car and yet it isn't loud coming out the exhaust. You do hear the whine of the charger, but that should quite down once everything is back on the car.
I had big plans for getting a lot of work done on the holiday weekend, but as usual, I take one step forward and two back. Painter has told me for a month now that I would get my bumpers and passenger front fender. He told me two months ago the bumpers were out having the plastic holes filled and primed. I was suppose to get everything back last weekend and then promised this weekend. Friday he tells me only the fender will be done. I went to pickup this morning and there are two major imperfections so I told him I’m not taking this, you need to fix. I didn’t see the bumpers anywhere so I started to look around and found them untouched in another room......I can’t stand being lied too. Unfortunately, I am stuck, because I’m the idiot who paid him in full to be a nice guy.
I received the circuit boards from Roger for the instrument cluster. Everything is very nice quality and takes about an hour or so to assemble. Unfortunately, it did not work as anticipated and will have to get with Roger and the builder to trouble shoot, hoping it is something on my end and not the circuit board.
Also took the liberty of rolling back speedo too -0- per the suggestion of few members
Don’t you just love it when you pay top dollar for something and then later come to find out that there is an issue with what you purchased. Well I ended up having to pull apart the rear suspension in order to replace the aluminum bushings that had to large a hole for the bolt, which would cause a very noticeable clunk or movement in the trailing arm. I have experienced this with our sand cars, which don t have anywhere near the tolerances of a road car. Long story short, I had to make a tool to push incorrect bushing out and draw the correct bushing in. This took two hours and was quicker than removing the arm and pressing the bushing out, which I was told is not a big deal.
Definitely a bummer to have a couple of days to play in the garage and then not have the bits you need to be able to play with. That's why I start way more projects than I can finish- there's _always_ something to do....
You can ping Jeff Mohler or Katie Mohler about the circuit boards, IIRC they had an issue with theirs last fall, that I think they resolved.

Unfortunately, I have a long list of honey dooo’s, so have things to do, just not what I like As far as the instrument panel, Roger is awesome, so not worried,.....worst case scenario I create a new one.
Shifted gears on my to do list, to keep things moving forward. Installed door panels, unfortunately came to find out my stereo speakers were to deep and hit the door. I replaced them with slightly smaller speakers that fit great.
I started installing the carpet kit I purchased from Gahl. Most of the pieces require some sort of trimming. I cut my own carpet and lined the rear seat delete area. Installed center console and began running stereo wiring.
Amazing color. Seems lighter than schwartz metallic but darker than meteor metallic.
What is it?
Porsche color "ACHATGRAU" It's a metallic gray that came on Porsche models; Panamera, Cayman, Macan and 911 in 2015 I believe. The color is very similar to my F-150 "Magnetic Metallic Gray"......just a bit lighter in color.
AKA: "Agate Grey Metallic" same as the avatar to your left. Really taking shape Lance and looks great. Would love to see her when complete....plan on taking her to Sharktoberfest ? T

Impressive photo shop skills Tony.
Not sure how well a modified 928 would be received at a true 928 get together.
I wanted to go last year to see all the cars, but was out of the country. If I'm in town, I will probably stop by and check things out since it's only a little over an hour away from me.

No worries...Just Peachy was well received at 3rd Coast a few years ago. Don’t think you’ll have a problem as nice as your build is coming along. Park next to the Agate 991...they’ll blend T
