Bill D,

I don't think I will be putting stripes
on the car, but you never know....
The paint is 2002 Porsche # 37U/F6, FYI.

Looks Spify!!! You know, not to bastardize the original interior color of black....but I think some tan hides with brass grommets would look splendid in that beautiful blue car. mmm hhhmmmm lookin good!

Here's the other two pics. I think something put a strange chacter in the address.

Looks Great!!!!!! Hey is that the wider fender flared version? And I was wondering, is that noncolored section at the top of the rear window a space for a third brake light?

If you have the chance post pics through its build progress, I would love to see this car take shape!

Oh yeah everyone I just got my CAV info packet and CD-R, WOW is all I can say ....these cars are increasingly edging forward in my decision amongst the competitors.....I must admit though that I dont like thier single and very deep front radiator cover or "nostril" as I have seen it called. I much prefer the double "nostril" of the GTD, ERA and RF...but I am sure this is an easy fix given the relationship between GTD and CAV.

The single "nostril" was employed to improve downward force on the car at speed. If you plan to run this car at high speed, it's the way to go.

Bill,

I thank you for the input, I was unnaware as to the reason for the single nostril, I figured it was for better unrestricted flow to the coolant system. Is anyone running the double nostril nose clip with any problems on the track?

Hi All,

Yes, the space at the top of the rear bulkhead is for a high-mount stop light - Australian regs require this (& lots of other odd things, as these cars have to be registered as new cars over here).

Some more pics of Bill's car - now out of the paint shop & back at DRB for finishing (should be on wheels by new-year). Is this one smooth car or what !
