Wheels are SSR. This the brand they suggest so I went with their brand.

JJP you crack me up with you post and Jon Paul pic. They go perfect together.

No offense to the local shops but three (3) days to do this work! This would have taken 3 weeks...or 3 months from my experience.

^^^ I think months .. and even then ... even if you consider that (and I'm making some assumptions here ..) he pre-fabs the parts, sends them to you and you have them match painted prior to his arrival .. it's still very impressive indeed.

Slate grey - my favorite color for 993's...this is one evil looking build.

Congrats!

How about no tail?
It will look like the love child between the Incredible Hulk and a c2s....a good thing.

Till the big motor is installed. A big motor needs a big wing.

No rear shots yet because from behind the large open garage door lets too much sun in and my crappy point and shot can't compensate. All I get is over exposed crap. Once out in the full light.

Day 4 progress appears slow because all the big stuff has been done. Today he added the "canards" on the front and rear fenders. The exhaust is being worked on and should look great when complete.

But most of the day, he spent at the beach. I'm not kidding. Last night he told me he wanted to go down to the water and relax on the beach. He spent the morning on St. Pete Beach and loved it.

It takes some cojones to do this to a perfectly good 993. But, I cannot believe the transformation. It's so sharp I cannot even find the words.
