take you?
I would say interior took about 50-60 hours, thats everything from installing gauges, stripping, sanding, primer, preppping, then painting, then a clear coat, then re installing everything, also I moved the oil line housing over and re-located my ice chest for the cool shirt.

When do you race next? Where?
Ken I will be at Willow Springs this Friday, Satuday & Sunday, leaving this morning actually! Anyone live in that area or near by should come out to see some Vintage Porsches racing!

Be sure to bring this car to the Fresno Concours next month! This is really nice! Good job
Gary, I was going to but I have a race at Buttonwillow that same weekend, so I won't be able to make it this year.

how come you installed the tachometer at an angle? To have 0 pointing down? Doesn't it look a little weird?

Nice car though, still

Kevin,

You are incredible! I wish I lived closer to you so I could just hand you my car and say "bring it back when your finished!" After all this work, it belongs in the Porsche museum, not on a race track!

Hey Kevin,

What a stunning beauty!!! What a job you've done... I'll be doing something similar soon and will need your advice... I haven’t spent much time on 6S lately… Let’s catch up! I hope to see you on May 7. Which one are you bringing? Bring the RS...

Luis

Tachs on track/race cars are often installed that way since you're always shifting at close to redline, so having the redline so the needle is pointed straight up makes it very easy to figure out when to shift.



MAN THAT CAR IS SWEEEEEET!!!!!
