It’s looking great. Your engine and transmission choices are great. Are the correct door seals that you plan to use in place now?

What do you mean by a WEVO 5 speed ?
Did they start selling 5 speed transmissions for 356s ?

It is a custom housing that holds 911 internals with swing axles. Expensive but nice.

Exhaust valve is sure going to be a pain to set in it's current missing state :) Great progress!

Progress... Getting to the end of the main metalwork. Tons of details left to do. The engine is built and looks amazing. Trying to decide whether it is worth the hassle of putting it on a dyno before it goes in the car. Opinions welcomed.

Adam this is looking great. I Like how you tucked the base of the roll-bar. Any other shots of this that you can share would be great including mounting points and shape. Thanks scott

After a year of banging, cutting, and welding, I have something to work with. She came back from the powder coat prime today looking a whole lot better than the acid dip that started this process. Now for the priming/blocking/sanding!

That is a sandable and paintable powder coat?
What are the circular depressions next to the back seat area?

even after all the metal work, priming and blocking takes forever... First coat done. Probably 2 more rounds before we get to color. I'd guess another month. Tons of respect for @rodemory who seems to have stacks of perfect body shells just lying around!!
