my 61 project

[Bullyboy]

After 2 years we are almost done. Its running and driving, we just need to get the interior finished. Of course there are things I am going to adjust/change when the weather changes and I can't drive it for the winter.
Thanks to the help here we have a really nice "driver" that handles great and stops really well.

Nice looking car, Bullyboy. I see that you have the 944 brake conversion. That is the same setup I am going to install on my 72 Super. Can you give me some more info on the brakes and wheel/tire size. Did you use the 944NA MC? Did you have any problems with brake bias or did you use a propotioning valve? I suppose tire size would be a factor. I am using 205/55-16 front and 225/50-16 rear. I am waiting to get my re-machined parts back from Lanner @ VDub Engineering, so any info you can give me would be helpful Thanks, Eric.
