Fitting the rear tail requires more aluminum frames.
|

Everything is a fitting job... That's just fitting.
(I'm so funny)
|

Clamps and steel hinges.
|

Bigger clamps for bigger hinges. These hold the tail frame in index so the hinges can be drilled for glue and pop rivets.
|

Here are the magical hinges. Yes, these are just like Porsche originals.
|

Remember that clecos are our best friends. Here they are holding the whole car together.
|

It's coming along!
|

More of the same. Notice the other 917 chassis sitting on the floor.
|

More handy work.
|

Tail supports have been installed.
|

The tail now hinges.
|

In this picture you can see the glue where the tail is attached to the fiberglass.
|

Bret is getting ready to install the hood prop. This is also made to factory specs which is actually pretty easy because I still have an original one.
|

The 1971 roll bar is being installed.
|

This had to be done for the '71 season, but you could build your own or have Porsche do it.
|

These roll bars are not all the same. Some have two bolts that hold them at the back and some have three. We chose the three method.
|

1, 2, 3.
|

The roll bar is welded and ready to install.
|

Sweet!
|

Even looks original.
|

These are the engine cross braces.
|

These braces are actually installed in a little different position because of the 6 cylinder engine. If the customer ever wants to put a 12 cylinder engine in, these cross pipes will have to be adjusted.
