Thanks for the thought-out response, I definitely see where you’re coming from. Still, this is a car that was built to be driven rather than attract the most attention possible at SEMA. Those who are interested in the details of this/similar chassis will take note at the show but what really matters is that the owner gets to enjoy it on the road afterwards.

For transparency – I’m not a vintage 911 owner so I realize Trevor notices the “details” (in a “I’m deep with the culture” level rather than a purely design perspective) that I’m ‘ignorant’ to – like asking a Bhuddist if one denomination of Muslim is different to another or similar. Still, “more sensible singer” is the vibe the car will put out at SEMA rather than “OH SH1T that fresh!”. With all that work done with such care -I’ve planned out my Alfa rebuild so I can grasp this level of doing things right- it’s a just “of a certain quality” that it gets yet another paint job (no matter how “perfect”). I’d even say ditch the chassis and replicate it in a clear material to showcase the work and such. So I don’t doubt there is a different “quality” of presence than a Singer or RWB, but i do doubt that there should be a dichotomy between “how to do a 911”. RUF had one way. Canepa another. Those “wicked kits” another. And let’s not forget Magnus (nice guy too, met him at Amelia a few times) whom I equate Akira Nakai to… singer is just another level. And that coming from a non-porsche guy, so sometimes it’s good to take a step back when “it’s too much with you” so you can really grasp what you are capable of making. This garage seems like they could smash a vint911 into the history books if they didnt limit themselves, and thats more “speedhunting” than fitting a different glove.

Trevor how many years have you been in the Porsche “scene”?

“As it’s been built like no other Porsche, I’m sure it’ll feel even more special than it looks.”
Strong statement, and I LOVE the build and photos, but the copy here is, well, meh.

Folks like Rod Emery, Rob Ida (and others) build cars like these for customers frequently, though they may not end up at SEMA. And FWIW, in 2016 Rob Ida’s 930 Turbo was displayed at SEMA, even featured on this very site, but for some reason you guys never allow me to post links! (even to your own articles). It was built without backdating, super modernising, or using off-the-shelf upgraded parts.

Unfortunately he is coming to my town for work so that is out of the question. Next time I will be there for sure.

For sure! Cars are meant to be driven, after all, and I think far too many lose sight of this simple fact.

Regarding the wheels, these aren’t what will be on the finished car but you’ll have to wait for that

As soon as I can, yes! Can’t wait to hear this 3.0L opened up on the back roads. Especially with that bare interior.

Sweet! I’ll have a few more coming beforehand we’ll have loads pouring in once we’re all at the show, too.
