TMT McCoy

The new chrome pieces look killa, Lee. I wish I knew what you're about to pull outta your sleeve though...lol?!?! :-P

Car looked amazingly smooth to be doing 160+ mph. Jay, you're a nut! :lol: 8)

Jay, where's the video...I'm dying to see it?!?!

Just finished reading your feature in, PVW like less than five minutes ago. Can't believe that your car which is daily driven is so friggin clean. Looks so mint in the pic's...I bet it looks even better in the flesh. I tip my hat to you sir! 8)

Got the exhaust back from the chromer today. Really nothing spectacular, just the mid pipe which bolts up to the header & the side exit zorst. Went ahead & chrome plated the exhaust hanger as well. Should be getting the rear subframe back from him sometime next week. I found a spare RS on eBay which I disassembled & had sandblasted so that the bodyshop could prep it for colormatching. Plan on flushing it into the false floor in the trunk area. The porshe 996 dash harness came in today as well. Gotta find a wiring schematic & get started. :?

Awesome, Jay. Love everything about it! 8)

I can't thank all of you guys enough for the compliments & well wishes. Feels good knowing something I've created can be appreciated by my peers! :oops: :) I really don't have to many updates at the moment. On sunday I installed a power trunk lock kit to gain access to the trunk since the lock is shaved. Yesterday I placed an order with a local porsche salvage yard for a full 996 interior/ dash wire harness so that I can get the cluster on the dash fully functional. I'm also waiting for the exhaust midpipe & rear subframe ( Lee, you're gonna love it... ) to come back from the chromer. Should have more pic's & updates sometime early next week. :wink:

Awesome daily driver, Lee. My daily is a run down '91 jetta sedan... :oops: :lol:

I was happy with it but some things in the bay kept nagging at me like the hole for the fuel line & that stud. I also could see part of the seam in the raintray area where the new firewall was welded together. I'm estatic with it now though! :)

Thanks for the kind words guys...here's some more pic's I took of the shell. :?

Here's some pic's after the clearcoat has been layed down. My bodyguy is gonna buff out the entire shell sometime next week. Can't wait to see the final result!!! :) Here's a video of the car in the booth... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvaI9dHpUio

My bodyshop has finally been able to make some progress on the shell. I decided that I wanted to shave the hole on the rear passenger side frame rail cover where the stock fuel lines would normally pass thru into the engine bay as well as the threaded stud used for the plastic fuel line clip on the passenger side strut tower. Now the bay is totally devoid of anything except the steering column boot. All of the hard brake lines are hidden as well. 8) These first few pic's show the bay & shell wetsanded down & being prepped to recieve it's new three layers of clearcoat.

Glad you got this beast together, Ben! I desperately wanna see some vid's! :D

I really wanna make it over there this year. The car is absolutely eating up every expendable cent I have right now though. Hopefully I'll be able to put something together by the time september rolls around!

PM sent, sir!!!
