The RSR is doing well but the buzz at John’s garage today was the rumored late January PCA 3 day “double points” time trail at WSIR. SOW and Big Willow on the same weekend!
I'd like to have the 993 shape back in time for the SOW TT Friday/Saturday followed by the Big Willow TT Sunday.
Some shots of John Simone saving a very warped rear bumper.
Our 2nd bumper, the first was worse.
The part came from LA, it appears the bumper mold may have warped.
Image
This photo shows John's effort to make it right.
Image
The chunks of glass on the floor was extra material that John had to remove from the warped bumper. :banghead:
Image
The 15x14 fuchs with 345/45/15 Yoko AVS tires fit perfectly.
Image
Rear tires, 18s compared to 15s.
The 15s are over an inch shorter, a better look for the vintage fender arches.

After a Cadillac I left old town with a few colorful serapes, RSR interior material. :D

A little dust on the camera lens...

Jim Duncan was a big help with many jobs, here he is after hanging a C2 cooler and 10 inch fan in the wide front fender.
Jim next round of Jager is on me!
Image
Here's one of me.

Ok phase 2, the car is at Mark Tyler's Qualtech auto collision center in Mission Valley for a little more body work and then paint.
Color tbd....
