Glenn -- Looks good! ...One thing would check though. How tight are your rear shock canistrer mounts on the canister? They really can not be that tight (thin alum) because it can hinder the piston movement in the canister (experience talking here) and actually blow oil by the o-ring. As a check, hold canister shrader (sp?) valve down, and depressurize it.

Thanks for the tip... they're not too tight (you can move the cannister back and forth... however, I will definitely check after a run once they're hot and have expanded. Thanks.

Glen..

I love the WIDEBODY 993 look. Short wheel base + Widebody + Light + lots of Aero = FUN!

Great Job on the Build. Good Luck with it.

Actually, I think traffic aside Glen I ran about the same laps in his car. I def did not want to soil the new car.

IIRC Larry, Bob was "being" 'Glen' at the time so either way Glen wins....

Great looking car Glen; we met briefly at the trailer as Bob and Larry were wking with (on? ) me during the wkend.
