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.

testing the K8

Yesterday, we took the K8 to the newly re-designed
Palm Beach International Raceway
(formerly known as Moroso Motorsports Park)

Gunnar, Mark, Andy and Bret worked on the car's set-up.

Even though this was a private test day,
the track was a busy place.


This car is BEAUTIFUL...
and FAST too!







Next event...
HSR Sebring, the beginning of December.

another BEAUTIFUL day in Florida!

K8 nose is painted and Bill has started to put on all the doo-dads.

say cheese!

This nose is looking mighty fine!

the tail was catching the morning light...ooh..aah!

This gold heat shielding is BEAUTIFUL!

Now the K8 is up onto the scales for alignment, etc.

Kevin is making a new mold for a 904 floorboard.

He had to alter the last one, so here he goes again.

K8 progress

Bret and Andy are making sure the tail fits the car perfectly
before final paint is applied.

The tail is now in final paint.

Kevin is making a cover for the oil fill cap.

Bill is getting the nose ready for paint.

There's always something to grind.

Kevin has also been working on the nose.

Bret continues the assembly...

with Andy, who is temporarily distracted by a phone call from Gunnar.

so we have no choice.
