Wow 2 posts in 12 years! LOL
Thanks Dave, That's Dinsdales 82 S.C. 6spd car. Wheels are off an Audi that Dins picked up off of fleabay. Do not know the offsets but they fit in there nicely and look great. T

A 928 can really hide the Chevy conversion with the hood down, it still sounds
a lot like my 4.7 did a few days ago without the baffles installed.

A 911 cannot get away with sounding like a Pontiac GTO.

Good luck finishing her up Tony and Dins, looks fantastic.
Thanks Matt. Exhaust being finished up today along with a ballpark alignment. Then it's back up to Dinsdale's for final assembly. T

Thanks Jason, Spirited driving will commence after break in at precisely 12:00am Dec 4th. How do I restrain myself and pick this exact time & date you may ask ? My speeding probation ends Dec 3rd at 11:59 pm Dec 3rd. T

Looking great Tony!

Hope you're not going to trailer that thing around all over the place like "Just Beachy"

Did you get the door lock actuator info?

Cheers!
Carl

Thank you for that info Carl. Adam did a great job finishing up the exhaust. T

Getting close Tony... Don't let the lack of doors keep you from bringing it to 3rd coast, if jeeps can do it....

Doors can be mounted in minutes, i did them both alone in 20.
The door lock mechanism is another 20 per door. The rest is cake.

Re Just Peachy's behind:
I would never put any wing on this car, it's really elegant and modern looking.

Like the long cooling fins on the transaxle.

That reminds me, on one of my recent trips down I-35 to see SeanR I saw a most curious sight. Headed northbound was a car that just didn't look right. As it got closer and passed by, I noticed why - it was an old LeBaron convertible and it had no doors! Reminded me of Steve Martin and John Candy in Planes, Trains, and Automobiles. I sure hoped he was strapped in good.

Tony - even if you have to trailer it, JP needs to be at 3rd Coast. And congrats, you've converted this purist - I think what you've done with JP is way cool!

Thanks you all, glad you like. Went with the magnaflow Carl and will get J.P. to 3rd Coast under it's own power or trailer her up if not completed T

Smaller cell phone pics were taken today by Dins. Larger pics I had on file. This is the interior that came out of the 79 mocha brown car purchased from Tass. Car was stored indoors all of it's life and it shows. T
