Hey guys ... so, here we go again, divorce papers are almost signed and I'm ready to roll !! LOL

Ryan gave me sh@! for not posting this here, and I think this belongs here even more so than Killer Piggy build (which we will be going VERY soon) so here she is, my 1977 911 Carerra Hotrod build at CCSpeedline in LA.

So for quite a while I've been searching for a backdate/hotrod 911 and to be quite honest everything Ive seen has been extremely expensive, not the right colour, engine not good enough, interior sucks etc .... I stumbled across a partially completed build thread by a VERY reputable shop in LA asking what colour should I paint this car to sell. I reached out to Nathan and we talked for some time and the next thing I know I'm sending him a hefty deposit !!

This is a 1977 original Carrera with an IROC front bumper, duck tail that was going to be Nathan's (shop owner ... did I mention that he paints the 911's for Singer) personal car. Nathan is an amazing guy and somewhat of a purist, but I am pushing his boundaries a bit with this build but we completely see eye to eye on the ultimate vision of this car ... which is amazing and makes things so much easier and more exciting.

So here she is ...
1977 IROC Carrera with duck tail in Montana blue
3.2 stroked to a 3.5 William Knight built, stack Injected JSR, 350HP engine
915 5 speed transmission with short shift kit
Full coil-over suspension
Cayman brakes
Custom Fuchs 7x15 / 8x15
Full custom interior
Full custom electronic controlled/valved GT3 exhaust
Custom electric AC system with dual condenser/upgraded Alternator
Roll bar / harnesses

Here we go ...

YES YES YES ...!!!!! MORE ! absolutely love Steve's vision i see s far , very detailed oriented, very singer like . If this is a fraction of the 69 , or either fj40s , it will be amazing . As I said privately besides my chevelle my "next list is " a 67-72 c10 and a 911 porsche . Just because its German doesn't mean it doesn't belong here . Anyone with the slightest idea knows these 911s can identify as pro-touring , which is kinda surprising that nobody else has done one . Beyond excited to see this one pan out and if your serious Steve YES 100 percent would LOVE to take her around the block, if you need help with final assembly or want to lend me your credit card # ... let me know , cheers buddy

As always .., thanks guys, extremely excited about this one
Jeff, what is it with us FJ guys / Porsches LOL ... I forgot you had one too

Thanks Ryan ... yes EVERY minute detail on this build is being considered without going down the abyss of the P-Car $$$. It's insane that I can build a new 750Hp LSA for the FJ55/Piggy for $12,000, and the cost of the 350Hp engine for this 911 Hotrod ... well, you dont even want to know !! :confused59:

At the end of the day though as Ryan has mentioned, it will have the Singer 'feel' but for a fraction of the price

Stay tuned ... This build will go quickly, she will be complete by May !!

This is going to be cool. I'm glad you're sharing it with us. Love the color combination you've chosen.

Couple questions since I'm not a Porsche person. What's the box around the header? Why is the car surrounded by a cage currently?

Good luck with it, Steve.

Very cool and it looks like I will be seeing you at some of the upcoming Porsche events across the country. I’ve had a blast driving my Cayman R the last 4 summers. It’s hard to imagine why I didn’t buy one sooner. I jokingly say it was the best 40 grand I have ever spent.

Thanks guys !

Trey, took me a while to get up to speed on these older Porsches to my friend. So it turns out that they are heat exchangers that pull the hot air from around the exhaust to provide heat to the cabin.

It's just caged like that as a rotisserie ... she's getting ready for the paint !!

Marty ... Ha !! I hear ya, I had a Techart Cayman a few years back and likely the best handling car I've even driven. So with this 911, I'm after the same but with that extra 'cool factor' and that nostalgic feel/experience that no modern car can provide. Very much like the pro-touring/resto-mods we are building here on Lat-G.

Super excited about this build, I just WISHED I could grab a plane ticket and head down to the LA shop/CCSpeedline to see this thing and meet Nathan in person.

Cheers
Steve

Steve,

Congrats on finding room to partially wriggle down the P-car rabbit hole in the middle of winter!
:P

Could you explain your rim size choice...15’s vs say 17’s etc?

Thanks. :thumbsup:

Sheck44

01-24-2021, 10:42 AM

Skip ... I hear ya buddy
So the one thing I've noticed with the Porsche crowd is that they are more purist that any other group I've seen. So when Nathan wanted to build a Hotrod 3.0 Carrera, well that includes those exact wheels with that finish and that rubber. I actually like the look a lot.

Now that said ... I may purchase a 2nd set of 17's and have them coated to get this look

Thoughts ??

Steve,

On the wheels, I prefer the look in the pic,

or dark centers, but its nice to be able to have the ability to really change the look like what you’re thinking of.

raustinss

01-24-2021, 02:33 PM

the interior color would really pop with those wheels, ever see a car where someone has put 2 different wheels on it ? . maybe dark centers on the pilots side and interior color centers on the drinker side ?. one car 2 looks

WSSix

01-24-2021, 03:05 PM

Ryan, RideTech did that with their second gen camaro build. Orange on one side and a dark gray? wheels on the other.

Steve, Thanks for the info. I thought that box might be for the heater since these cars are or were air cooled, but I'm just not familiar with them at this level. I love seeing them, especially the modified ones. I definitely prefer the larger wheels. I currently have two sets of wheels for the BMW so I certainly couldn't fault you for getting two sets for your car. Might be a good idea depending on the crowd you're hanging out with at the time. We wear event appropriate clothing don't we? Might as well make sure the car has event appropriate wheels, too!

01-25-2021, 06:27 AM

Morning guys ... Skip yes Nathan does incredible work. Before sending him the deposit I did my due diligence and everyone said the same thing, Nathan does amazing work and a he's true car guy.

So I've pretty much decided that it would be great to have 2 sets of wheels, originals and a more 'modern' set that sets the car/orange off a little more ...

Close to our interior and same seats

LOL ... Marty ... buddy hope your getting on the bike these days, only thing keeping me sane

Ok, as per Marty's request

After hours of deliberation we finally selected the leather for the interior. Hyde's Tribe leather must be one of the finest leathers I've ever felt, and the colour is spot on. slight orange tone but NOT in your face. Will be used for seats, door panels, wrapping roll bar and dash.

So Bernestein orange against the Montana blue

Steve,

I get it...so many grey days up there. So, you're beyond frustrated and you want to finally see something shining.

But I’m not sure that’s how you go about building a car!

:D

No hardware is not only cleaner looking imo but also easier to clean... more of a timeless design too.

brushed centers and lips with no hardware for ease of cleaning is my vote. Any of the three designs would look good.

I like the non hardware for a Porsche wheel, these fifteen 52 outlaw wheels are cool too, I think they have some color variations if you haven't seen them it may be worth the time to look

This one is my favorite.

Also look
At Car Bones on Facebook. They have some cool stuff.

Ok I'm a little late to this thread but very few threads have excited me this much in a while.
FINALLY a PT Porsche to keep an eye on.

I'm liking how you're trending with this thing and I really like the hardware-less Rotiforms.

If there is one bad habit I have that I try to hide from the wife, it's secretly searching the web for an old Porsche project, to basically do exactly what you're doing!

Ha ! ... thanks Jim, this is what I love to do, and that is bring cool builds to this site for you guys to enjoy.

FYI ... just confirmed yesterday that one of the guy that does awesome interior for 911's will be doing mine :Theresa:

Build should ramp up soon, engine underway (should be complete soon) stack injection should be here in the next 2 weeks, custom seats ordered from GT Classics, body/frame being strengthened a little bit (needed for coilovers) roll bar bolt-in mounts complete, duck tail fit and finished ...

Hey Steve , my 1.46 cent opinion, I like the other wheels better , not that those ones would be out of place either . Pretty cool you snagged a Singer interior guy , too bad he couldn't hook you up with one of Singers awesome quarter window air intake system thingy lol

Ns RS ... thanks, ya its a bit of challenge managing all the parts
Life's too short not to build as many cars as possible LOL

The 911 being built by Nathan and his team is easy, the FJ I quite a bit more complicated and more involved and will take some time.

But that said, I get to (with Nathan's approval) get to source out and find cool parts like these mirrors from Germany. I am not a big fan of the hockey stick style mirrors, and as the car is more of a Resto-modded 911 with a retro look then these will work sooooo much better

Love the color combinations and the wheel choice & color is going to look perfect. I may copy your strip colors on my Cayman as it’s midnight blue and I am not a fan of the bla looking silver/gray stripe.

So the story behind this Jim is the 911 project was already underway as Nathan's (builder) own car. He decided to put it on the market and I nabbed it 1/2 way through the build so we were already quite a ways into it

Now stay tuned because this thing is going to move quick now

I should have figured a custom crest would be involved. What a great idea. I'll have to keep an eye out for that type of details in cars I come across.

I did learn recently that the bottom point of the crest should always point towards the valve stem on these cars.

Might have to get a Jeweler to make one.

Possibly get an inexpensive Chinese one ( they come in a bunch of different color insets - I have one for my 944s2 that I haven't installed yet, but the quality wasn't bad for $22) and then modify it

Hi Steve,

I guess it kinda just happened. When my buddy started riding the first fat bike from Surley or Salsa I thought they were silly but they worked great for him as he was a big guy. Then in the Winter of 13 I bought a Trek Farley fat bike and well I fell in love with the bike. I even built a 3" wide set of wheels for the bike. Since I ride for fun and I don't try to be the fastest they work great for me. I just like coming back from a ride with a big ass grin on my face. Eight years later I still have that grin and it's funny that all of sudden I am faster then I used to be on a skinny tire bike.

Here is my fat road bike.

To say I am in love with your car and the color combination would be an understatement. There are colors that just work and the color you picked is just beautiful.

So do you think you will have the car complete for Luft 7 as this car would be very well received at the show.

Yep, it's my garage and it looks a little different now as I finally organized the peg board wall.

Here is the finished bike with the "Joker Theme" and I think I have put about 800 miles on it since i finished it.

And I am hoping that you bring you car to the Indy Show as I so want to see it in person. My plan is to drive my Cayman to the show with Mike as it gets the best gas mileage out of all of my cars. Who new a 400hp Cayman would get 28 mpg on the highway.

If any of you Porsche enthusiast's are in the LA area on the 31st and would like to join or talk to Nathan about a project let me know !!

FYI ... he has a lime green project ready to built to your specs

Jeff .... I can almost guarantee once I see this car in person in a couple of weeks it is unlikely I will part with it.

We will see, but like the speedster below you realize that going 'fast' or having 800Hp isn't what makes an amazing driving experience, this thing is an absolute blast to drive and the 911 should be even better.

Cant wait and we will see !!

This is why I wasn't that upset about selling the TA which had a 500hp 383 while keeping the 280hp 540i. I just enjoy driving the BMW more. I do miss rolling burnouts occasionally though :D

Those intake covers do look fantastic, Steve. Car appears to be coming along nicely.

Guys ... Good morning all
So, just got back last night from Los Angeles to see the car and all I can is WOW.
To say that the car in person was way beyond my expectations is an understatement. Nathan obviously has major OCD like myself and the attention to detail, quality, fit & Finnish is superb.

Here are just a few pics that detail the quality of this build ... Keeping in mind the car has NOT been cut/polished yet

no comment because you're trying to buy the green one too, right? lol. Your blue one is looking amazing. Will you be able to put a wide Euro style license plate on it or will it have to have a normal, modern one? I was just looking at the rear bumper thinking a modern one would look out of place. Glad you're excited and pleased with the build thus far, Steve.

Thanks Trey
Unfortunately I will have to place the normal plate on this car on te back, but will be 'avoiding' the front plate even though it's the law here ... :rules:

To keep both right now would be impossible for a couple of reasons. I have a couple of people very interested in taking the blue one but after seeing it in person it will be very hard to part with ... I'll have to decide in te next moth or so

SKIP ... Thanks for posting the Vid properly (need to figure out how to do that ! )
The car will be fully done in about 6 weeks

Completely understand. Just giving you a hard time since you clearly have good taste. Both your car and that green one are great. There's no way in my mind you'd go wrong with either.

Keep the blue one long enough to get some miles and smiles out of it.

Ryan, with this EFI setup on this 3.5 she's supposed to put out 350hp ... They are seeing 100Hp/L with most of these setups, and with the build cam/compression designed by William Knight she should do this # easily ... and @ 2200Lbs should be spot on for a near perfect Porsche

Morning Y'all !!
So, a few updates ...

Exhaust, we need to make a change from the above system due to sizing and fitment issues. So, we are in the process of building a custom system using a GT3 valved muffler setup just like Singer does.

Interior, almost complete, the seats (below) just WOW ... cant wit to see these in person

Custom engine cover made by Andrew (below)

Engine FINALLY installed ... looks sooo good, cant wait to see and hear this one, the detail on this is amazing

and finally ... (for Ryan) Looks like we WILL be making it to Motorama as it's been pushed back. Going for the win with this car, best Restomod, but I'm sure the competition will be crazy

Marty, yes this exhaust has not been easy ... Long tube headers from M&K with the heat exchanger makes it very tight. Also, I absolutely wanted a remote controlled valved system so had to source out the right valves for the GT3 system but this should all work out perfectly now

Titanium tips on the way !!!

Love love love the build.

One small suggestion.

I have wireless electric cutouts on my 701rwhp CTS-V, and I was able to sync the open and close of the cutouts to my OEM homelink garage door opener, so button #1 opens my garage door, #2 opens my cutouts, and #3 closes them.

Not sure if you're looking at an integrated garage door opener in the roof, but it's a small way to make the build better than using a rudimentary remote you have to stash somewhere in the car.

They do offer aftermarket options for installation:

Let me guess…you are buying Singer the company out, and renaming it to reflect your personal style…

‘BLINGER’

03-06-2022, 05:54 AM

I was going to ask if the Singer that sold on BaT for 1.1 million made you smile or gave you hope for what you might be able to get for your car should you ever decide to sell.

Regardless, I love how your car's coming together. I appreciate the build photos since it seems finding build photos on high end Porsches isn't that easy.

Trey / Skip
Ah yes, I watched that one closely and here is what I can tell you without causing a sh$%! storm. I know some someone that is very connected to that car specifically and I can also tell you that money and the name aside my car has been built SIGNIFICANTLY better and I would take mine over that purple one any day of the week. There is a reason that that one was commissioned and then hit the open market so quickly .... just saying'

Trey, THIS is what I love doing ... designing, creating and sharing what is possible in the world of resto-modding to inspire and provide ideas to all the folks that watch my builds. I believe I have a small bit of talent for getting these builds right and so far I've been very lucky to have sold all of them all for decent $$$ which enables me to fund something even cooler or crazier !

LOL Skip ... I wish I had that kinda $$$, but again my friend things are not as they seem
