Robert,
Is the wheel housing liner on the right rear from a 993 or is that something you had made up?

His car is a widebody, and widebody cars have a rear support with a cover in the wheel well. I've got one, but it's all rusted and nasty!!!

Neat stuff Robert.

The liners are Porsche pieces that have been somewhat modified. The brackets for them are titanium so no rust.

Robert,

Any Idea what alloy they use? So if they were an aluminum alloy forged wheel you would be looking at 18 pounds which is still quite light. With 14 pound wheels and the ceramic discs the car will feel very light when driving.

Looks great as always.

Can you back up a few feet and snap a couple shots?

Bob,

As always, your work is a study in patience and detail. The wheels have a striking similarlity to RE's, one of my favorites. But so much lighter. Details would be appreciated.

My best,
Noah
