A progress report and to let you guys know I am still around.
Been a busy summer.![Smilie](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Things have been moving rather slowly on Project 928, but it looks like there is starting to be some light at the end of the tunnel.![Cool](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/cool.gif)
Well some progress anyway, I had to give my body guy time and not rush him.
Here are some pictures of what is going on with my 87, they still have to take the front fenders off and the doors off, but they are ready to come off and go into the paint room.
Here are some of it at my shop getting ready to go to the paint shop.

Looks like it might be a race to see which one of us gets our car into good-working condition first: your '87 or my '89 DE car.
Carl L (928andRC51) went the whole nine yards on his '87: no rub strips, no side markers, no rear wiper. Check this thread for some good pics:

Oh - and clear front markers.

I can tell you now, there will be no side markers on my 928.
You ever get over to CFOT any more?
My other ride got tagged in the rear and I just got it back.

Hey Greg. Yah, I remembered that it's been waiting on body work for a while. I figured the popcorn summed it up. I'd be cool if you could make SITM next year.

This is hard for a enough for a working wrench to do, just not enough time and to many projects in the mix.
I am getting ready to start on the second restoration of the 70 SS 454 Chevelle as soon as the 928 is done.
I have most of that worked out in my mind and some of it on paper right now.

I think it would look great, BUT you just know that at some point you are going to have to break a window to get into the damn thing when something fails.

Have heard the door handles are made of pot metal and will break at the most inopportunate time.
Which supercar had the electric door release button under the outside mirror? That would work on the 928 side-shaven model if you're keeping the mirrors.
