Have read about your car many years ago in "Porsche 911 Road Cars" by Dennis Adler(pp 85-92). The book claims that the GS America took 3 years to complete, and involved huge customisation by the Special Wishes Department, being the most extensively custom built 911 ever produced by that Department. Whilst I obviously cannot attest to the accuracy of the claims in that book, I cant help but feel that all the further customisation that you have since done to the car, whilst truly incredible, has in some way diluted a truly remarkable piece of Porsche history....
Having said that, the amazing work that you have done to this car in a perverse way also enhances its appeal as far as I am concerned. Keep up the commentary, and please do let us see the finished product soon!!!
Cant wait to see the finished project.

So when are you going to call me again about the engine Robert? We have been beavering away behind the scenes since the last time we talked and now have a collection of highly advanced 9m engine products under development that even Porsche would be in awe of. You should get in touch.

Well, in the middle of the completion of Humpty Dumpty, I had to take a bit of time (i.e., almost three years) off for a number of more important matters (one death, one almost death, serving certain people overseas and at home, other Cartridge work, etc.), but, to paraphrase "I'm back". The last four parts are in production as I write this and should be completed my mid June (2008) and then a few days to assemble and, voilà, phase one is complete.

Robert, always good to hear from you. Can't wait for your posts.. I too have had a few issues preventing me from being around, but those are behind me so will be able to spend more time with my friends....
