DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

Another suspension update from across the pond. The entire suspension has been sent back to the paint and body shop. Troy likes to work the final phase of body prep and paint with the car in it's most natural stance, four on the floor. This way all of the lines can be made perfect and the body panel...

Windows out will be final paint as we're (for the most part) leaving the interior intact. The process involved with the body work is extremely messy. So, right before final prep they'll come out and those edges will be prepped.

Shooting black wheel deco over the silver get's the desired result around the battery boxes. The fronts remain silver while the backs get shot with the black: https://scontent-a-pao.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-frc3/t1/1620525_671617669544202_929432387_n.jpg https://scontent-b-pao.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/...

Hi Jos and DDK crew. That fateful day has arrived where you got a little color on your tub! First, a few pictures of the Wurth undercoating. Spot on with your summary Jos, no more beige here in the US. We toiled for months trying to get it shipped in from Canada. We tried the 3M beige based upon a r...

Hey Jos, I used to spin cast gold and silver when living in Key West. Cutting trees got old. I much enjoy building vintage cars! I know you've been waiting to see some caliper porn. Here goes: https://scontent-b-dfw.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn2/t1/1888735_10151925408083193_35766570_n.jpg https://sconte...

More progress last week. The handbrake assemblies and the hubs were pulled in. They're getting rotors and calipers as I type. https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/t1/1010411_10151925016223193_158544211_n.jpg Everything plated and painted: https://scontent-b-dfw.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos...

Calipers?

I don't recall this car coming with calipers...



Sorry... I shouldn't tease.

Here's today's update from across the pond: Rear suspension bushing and bearing time. The entire suspension on this car was media blasted to bare metal and repainted. Various bits were replated using clear and yellow zinc as it has superior corrosion protection vs. cad. Any under body bits we like t...

Brake caliper shots will come with some suspension shots this week. They're done and came out great. We'll get some detailed shots of the rubber going on and the bearings going in. Once the rotors are on we'll cap everything off with the calipers. Kinda like setting the stone Jos! :D

One last picture. Here's the piece to repair the smugglers box. Looks like the same color donor car as well.

Should be here Monday.

You left off my favorite picture! I can't wait to feel the ride on this one. We'll post some suspension pictures next week.

Smugglers box sheet metal will be here Wednesday. The best metal comes from... another Porsche

Where's those wheel and tire pics Jos? Snap, snap! :D

Great looking car David!

One from across the pond. Keep those GT's coming!

(already have one of those on order for you Jos)
