Porsche

[GSmith]

I recently commissioned a bike themed Porsche project with Rod Emory of Emory Motorsports. Rod's the man when it comes to hot rodding 356's. I'm starting out with a 65 C-Coupe, and Rod and his crew are working their engineering and metal-work mastery to transform it into a C4 rally machine that can stand up to the shitty winters here in New Hampshire, and serve as a chase/support vehicle for our dirt road rides.

Here's the donor car, a well used race car with a solid body:

Here she is dis-assembled and on her way to media blast:

Here's a bad preliminary photo-chop rendering of what she'll look like when she's completed:

Not sure about the final livery yet, but it's a fun project.

If that's the Raid Rockingham sag wagon the first ride ending bike failure will happen before the group exits the parking lot.

She won't be finished for this year's ride, but really support car in this context is a vehicle to heckle riders from!

While waving beers.

You HAVE to bring that noise to Ballers.

Been a bit hectic in the shop. Finally back to the 934. Finalizing some fit of the fenders and getting ready for exterior color.

Also had a gent from Florida come by for some suspension work as well as a set of our wheels on his 79 Turbo.

Busy busy. 73 RSR (green) almost done.. Just finishing the gearbox cooler plumbing. Will have on the ground at some point this afternoon. White RSR in for race prep for Indy next month. Found a tear in the axle boot....nothing like cleaning a gallon of molly that's been flung all over the place. Orange 934 tub in color. Been spending a lot of time reassembling. Brand new suspension laid out and hung. Lastly, 10 Fuchs back from the machine shop, all from the green car. Had the centers bead blasted than machined out so that we can build them into 3 piece race wheels. Currently brushing them and taping the fingers off for black paint.

Why use the Fuchs that way instead of going with a new forging?

Beautiful fun stuff as always!
