This is the begininng of the build up of a Porsche 911 into a SCCA E-Production
race car. We decided early on to fabricate a rotesserie that the car will be on during
the duration of it's construction. With this rotesserie we are able to rotate the car
360 degrees to allow easier access of the 911's components. Here we go!

The first time the car has been on the rotesserie. Thankfully the great engineering ensured a perfect fit the first time. This car was a flood damaged car from Hurricane Katrina and is in excellent shape. Eric and Ryan are discussing various ways the rotesserie will be used to bring this car to spec.

Ryan begins to give the 911 it's first bath. You can see how excellent this car looks under the coat of dirt that once resided all over it.

The first round of cleaning is complete. The next step in the process will be to manually remove the undercoat from the underside, fender well, trunk and engine compartment then remove the asphaltum from the inside of the floor pans. After that the entire car will be media blasted to remove all paint and left over construction adhesives.

Asphaltum removal.

Undercoat removal. We have left the suspension on for the time being while determing the hub to hub distance. This helped us arrive at the backspacing we will need to get the car to the proper track width per SCCA.

The rear trailing arm pickup point is cut away to facilitate the installation of the camber boxes.

Final adjustments are made and the box is finish welded into place.

Beginning thoughts on rear pivot plate.

Fabricated rear spring plate heim joint. This piece replaces the factory rubber bushings and non adjustable spring plate. The spring plate has yet to be installed on the rod end.

The chassis is completely stripped and sand blasted to bare metal.

Front control arm and Elephant Racings' PolyBronze bushings.

The chassis was sprayed with PPG L.I.C. wash primer to prevent rust from forming. As the sections of the car are worked on you can sand away the wash primer to facilitate welding or bodywork. It's great stuff!

Trial fitment of the proposed bodyowrk. This bodywork is borrowed from another one of our cars, we will make molds of the body to make the new parts for this car.

One of the many pieces of carbon fiber that will make up the Porsche. This piece is the footboard. Fabricated in house at BHR!

Dual master cylinder adapter. This piece will bolt to the factory master cylinder bellcrank.

Dual master cylinder conversion with bias adjustment. Fabricated by BHR and Tom Holstrom Racecar Engineering!

Matt Potter's mock up of the Car and trailer.

"W" brace mock up.

I decided to put the cutoff switch where the corner workers can easily get to it and I wanted to be able to operate it myself. I routed a trunk release cable to the switch and used the factory guide tube routed through a washer nozzle hole.

This shot shows the fresh air vent (in the clock hole) and the pull handle for the electrical cutoff switch resides in the guide tube for the gas lid release.
