964 Project

Starting vehicle: 1991 Porsche 964 911 Carrera 2 Coupe. Clean tub.

Exterior bodywork:

  • The entire vehicle has been stripped down to nothing, only a rolling tub. Once it was stripped down, we performed our CryoDetail dry ice blasting to remove all debris, grime, cosmolines and anything that has stuck to the body and components over the years, leaving us with a fresh clean under body.
  • The rear quarter panels were modified by hand to incorporate all-metal flares. The flares were welded in place and used lead-filler and hand finish.
  • The front fenders have new genuine 965 fenders installed with the flares.
  • The front left fender fuel filler lid has been modified to incorporate a custom classic aluminum fuel filler lid.
  • The right rear quarter panel has also been modified to incorporate a custom classic aluminum oil filler lid, similar to the 1972 911 models of the time.
  • These fuel and oil filler lids have been hand crafted in-house and follow the body lines and shape.
  • The original roof panel with sunroof has been removed and replaced with an original all steel roof with no-sunroof.
  • We do metal to metal on all parts to avoid future cracking under stress.

Paintwork:

  • The vehicle has been painted completely using Glasurit 55 line high end paint from the primer to the clear coat.
  • This paint product ensures first class results. The color chosen is based from an Aston Martin magnetic silver, with our own hint of blue to make it unique.
  • The interior body also received the same paintwork so everything has been a complete color change.

Exterior Body Panels:

  • This vehicle will feature genuine front 965 bumper with custom urethane air inlets (urethane) with hidden hardware.
  • The rear bumpers are genuine left & right 965 bumpers with no exhaust cutouts, and a urethane center european bumper.
  • The center section of the rear bumper uses 930 style license plate lights (round) and features a custom made cutout for the GT3 center exhaust tips.
  • Side rocker panels are 965 genuine for the widebody application.
  • Door handles are custom made 50’s style pop-out handle.
  • Roof is sun-roof delete, all metal

Safety Roll Cage:

  • The vehicle has an integrated “hidden” 6 point weld in roll cage made from Chromoly tubing and tig-welded for superior strength and ridigity.
  • The roll cage strengthens the body from flexing and is also there in the case of a roll over.

Interior: The color of interior is still an option that can be decided. We chose the Garnett red as a nice contrast color for the exterior paint.
