928T77 or 928T06 would be cool,
Tony could start a business doing this (I know he's retired) and a good name is everything.

Jeez, It was your idea to change the name along with a kick off ceremony and you didn't even show up. "The Flying Nordic Coot" it is T

No hostility here or ever toward the T man or anyone.. Re-read the bird forum.

Wow, nice shifter.
It really is up to you Tony, it's your build, but this is a serious build, does deserve a serious name. It will appear in a magazine eventually so that should be considered. I can see the article with big type in Excellence with photo below
928T06 NORDIC GOLD
Then orders pour in.

Tony,
With this much torque and power, have you determined the wheel sizes and tires to handle all that? Great job making many people's fantasies into reality!

"The Flying Nordic Coot" is stayin. Also removed the tape for ya today. Noticed you like body side moldings and we have some spares you might be interested in Dinsdale figuring out how to make Porsche & GM communicate with each other. T

Glad the tape came off.

I know, i blew it leaving the rub strips..

Keep your side moldings for your garage wall, i will have an extra set too.

Looks awesome Tony, wish i could make Spring Fling this year to take a closer look, Father-in-Law visiting from Ca about the same time.

That car will be so much fun, Look forward to hearing the exhaust and seeing some video in motion.
