Why? You can use the whole body and just change the wheels, skirts, tail & splitters. Just being curious since some of my work is with AutoCAD and to me that doesn't make sense.

BTW, I have few AutoCAD drawings of 993 (stock and a "race car" I modified from stock and also 944) also from front & back too if you need, saves you a lot of drafting...

Very cool product BTW!

I am a perfectionist and I did not like a few lines on the original Coupe. So I went back and restarted from scratch to do the RS... then I went back and fixed the Coupe.... Call me a nut

But I am fairly satisfied with the two models I have now, I am trying to start with the RS and make it a Turbo... though I want to make those big rear fenders show up somehow...

Got it, makes sense.

Crazy guy, had you started from a template, you would've saved some time but it worked this way so who cares!

Here's a screen print of one quick I made while back. I have no doubt you'll whip up a turbo soon...

Benoit, if one of my pillows ever sprouted that black thing, I would take a beer bottle and beat the crap out of it

All right folks. The first signs have been shipped. Those who are getting them, please feel free to post what you think of them. I am not afraid of criticism or compliments

I have to be honest, this turned out to be a much bigger job than I originally thought.
I will take care of the people currently on the list, but I will not add anybody else for the moment...
I either need to streamline the process, or increase the prices

I am not the greatest painter in the world so don't beat me about my paint job on the bases. I have done the best I could. My skills are not in painting, more in Engineering and wrenching

Anyhow, don't want anybody disappointed or angry, so if you are not satisfied, just ship it back within a week or so and I will send you a refund for it (minus shipping). But I hope that won't happen.

Benoit,
I received mine today - you did an awesome job! I'm still deciding on a color for the base, but will probably go with a low-gloss black. Thank you, Sir!

I resisted clicking on this thread for a long time. Now I regret that decision. Very nice.

I'm sure there will be more......

The workmanship is superb. I think I'll bring mine to TOMMY2010 as a nightlight.
