Really nice, very pretty!! Sounds like you should be ready for registration soon?? I like your exhaust setup there with the twin silencers, how does it sound?

Hi Ron, The sound isn't like a typical V8 with headers, the crossover system sounds WICKED!!!
I hope the registration will go quickly since the DMV inspectors are in my store frequently checking title work etc. Have a great Fathers Day!

I second Ron's motion of totally smashing exhaust. Car is looking great. Nice shade of red.
Cheers
Jack

Jim, stunning. Absolutely gorgeous. I've always felt that a GT40 NEEDS stripes but your car is beautiful.

G’day Jim.
This is an outstanding RF you’ve created. I’m looking forward to seeing pics of it on the road when she’s all done.
Cheers,

Hello Simon, It's the late Porsche Guards Red. All the glass is finally installed and I've driven 300 miles in the last week.

Wow, very very very clean. nice job. I'm glad you switched out that edel air flow cleaner. I think it looks perfect without the stripes.
I might've missed it but any details on ordering and delivery options? | |

Jim,
Should have mine soon; if lucky. What problems might I expect with the inspection and titling? I only have three bills that cover everything.
Bank will have lean on Car.
How is it titled as a Custom 2007. This is how we titled and registered my BRX as a '99 Custom auto.
Car looks absolutely stunning.

Hi Mort, That is still the case, however I hear this spring new laws will change the description. I understand if a replica, it will be described as the car it's replicating. If I understand correctly, it will be a "1965 GT40 replica". Can't wait to see your car!!!

Jim,
Will we be able to change the titles to that description in the spring or once titled as custom is that it?
I can send you pictures on reg email if I have yours.
I am not to computre literate but know how to do it that way.

That car is simply gorgeous! Is that polished aluminum or SSTL in the engine compartment?

Jim, that is an awesome car!! I wish I had had time to get out there and look at it at VIR. I'm sorry that I did not make it out of the paddock area. I'm glad to hear you driving it about, I do hope to see it sometime.
I am curious about one thing - what is the titling process for NC? Lynn Larsen explained it briefly to me 3-4 years ago but I've forgotten the details. If you know of them and would be so kind shoot me an email, or better yet, do a NC thread in the registration area for other folks to share the knowledge.
Do you have any track excursions planned for it? I bet it'll do very well on track.
Best,
Ron | |

Thanks Guys,
Hi Bill D, It's stainless - difficult to work (like working with razor blades) - stick with aluminum!!
Hi Ron, I haven't quite finished the registration process, I will post the process for NC after the law changes this spring.
