It's a small market, so there's not much danger, but stock 964 are becoming rarer by the minute.

Looking at the RUF cars, they made them look more look like Gbody cars based on the rocker/longitudinal.

Who says the 964 isn't the greatest air cooled 911 ever? Apparently they are the universal Porsche and stock ones will be harder to find than a 964 turbo S soon. ![hiha](https://rennlist.com/forums/graemlins/roflmao.gif)
I read the post on the 356 clone. Not sure how it will look considering the differences in size and then they are shortening the wheelbase and using a 4 cylinder. I have one question. WHY?

OK, not a 964 tub... 996s being back-dated. I definitely didn't see this coming:

Edit: Car pictured above is a 997. Kremer says there's a consumer version being developed for the 996 generation.
Of course.
But a 9k 996, with this body kit and a Renegade Hybrid V8 kit would be a super fun car for someone with a sense of humor.

The K3 is such a monster. My buddies built this K3 rep, and raced it up Pike's Peak. Don Whittington currently drives it in vintage races. I watched them build it, amazing talent.

I think its kind of cool, has enough to fool me for the most part. I don't know those older cars by heart though. One thing that just kills it for me is the standard 996 door, after you see that its tough to un-see.

What are they trying to do with the rear flairs? It looks like they are using a fire gel so the paint won't bubble when they weld. But I am not sure I am assuming they are lap welding these?

Those fenders and flares and pretty much everything being attached to that car are composite, so I don't think much welding is going to be done. It's their uber lightweight 964 build.
