night test - PBIR

We just finished testing the Porsche 917 and 997
at Palm Beach International Raceway.

Under the lights these cars looked so good!

It was a nice change to go out and test at night.

Gunnar had fun giving rides in the 997.

Bret is adjusting the headlights
and it looks like Andy has fallen asleep.

Very, very cool evening...
and I don't mean the temperature!
Here's a short youtube...

Wow...what an awesome machine!

kremer k8 spyder

Kevin, Andy, Bill and Bret...just finishing her up.

What a BEAUTY!

She looks like a completely different car with the graphics applied.

Ready to load her up for Sebring.

Don't you feel like going racing now?

getting ready for sebring

Dave, our graphics wizard,
is applying the last of the stickers to the K8.

The K8, 962, and 914 will be on their way
to Sebring tomorrow for a vintage event.


What an awesome car!

Kevin is repairing the K8's rear brake ducts.

Here they are installed on the car.

Now he's repairing the K8 nose box.

Andy is getting the 914 ready for action.

She's ready & waiting to be loaded on the truck.

Andy and Bret are bleeding the brakes on the 962.

Just a few more odds & ends
and this one will be ready to load too.


Bill is still cherry'n out the floor of the '72 911.

Looks like he's napping, but he is working hard.
We give this job to the young one in the group
because his body can still take this abuse.


It's getting close to seam sealing and then primer.

doing it again...

Because of an oil leak, the engine had to come back out of the 962.

The boys have had to do this way too many times recently.

Eric from PMNA came to the shop and fixed the leak a few days ago.

Kevin is setting up the limited slip, with a little help from Andy.

Andy is working on the transmission.

Hopefully, after it is assembled this time, it won't have to come apart again.

Yesterday, Kevin and Bill were having some fun
stripping the floorboard of the '72 911.



Their hard work paid off because it sure looks good today.

Next, Bill will start the bodywork on the floorboard.
