That sign in the grass in the foreground is really tilted.

Yup, 300 ton it is... several walls up as of yesterday...

I am amazed at the size of the crew putting the building up... 18 people (+supporting cast members in mix trucks and earth movers..)

Here is a pic from yesterday.

OH, and yes the sign is tilted / falling over (what ever happened to putting these signs into concrete?? these are just driven into the ground...)

^^ Look like prefab wall to me ,once up they will be connected together by either steel girts or beams, did put some of those buildings up a long time ago .The difference is that the wall were all isolated with windows & doors frams already install.Quiet a crew if you ask me cause we usually did put up a building that size with a maximum crew of five guys,two groundmen -two connectors & one Crane operator.

i was reading some old 968 T threads after seeing this topic beaten over the stump for the 1,864th time. but actually, learning about the beefy rods, stronger torque tube, cv joints, the work a few of the guys put into their replicas, etc.... the more i learn about the 968 Turbo, the more i realize how much muy life sucks that i can't own and daily drive one..... if you have one i say drive it. drive the f_ck out of it. with the current presidential administration, we could all be dead by the end of next year.

The stand up method, the walls are poured on site, into forms on the slab foundation, then picked up and tied together on site..

This was an empty field 3 weeks ago...

Not just a 968 turbo, or turbo S, but a 968 turbo SSS.
