Sounds like a bit of an endurance challenge! You're definitely winning though and cool stamp. 8)

Is it a lot louder now inside the car with those doors?
Avon said:Love the car, such a huge amount of original, focused work. Unconvinced about the bumpers - but agree with the idea of making it distinctive.
Maybe just having the red bits restricted to the lower parts of the bumpers? Kind of like this?

terra said:ELA,
Great work, as usual.
Just wondering what were the final corner loads for the car?
And how much did the loading shift front/rear?
Thanks.
I do my own alignments using the smart strings method, and I have a hard time justifying corner scales as well. Just in case you did not see it and are interested, there is one seller in the US offering scales at $690 on Amazon and ebay, but there are also numerous people using less expensive scales and beams to distribute the load. Even Jack Olson couldn't jsutify the cost and is using bathroom scales :lol:ELA said:...I looked into buying some corner weight scales the other day but just can't justify the cost just yet...

Love your thread and your project! And I was happy to see the GT3 still in the garage in the pics from several weeks ago. I can imagine that the wife is unhappy. I am up to 10 cars total ( ) which makes my wifeoccasionally...

I do not have enough time to play with this in the coming months, but I hope to be able to try a 2:1 beam similar in construction to those below and these scales next winter (insert "ebay.de" if the link doesn't work).

ELA said:I did look into those vet or industrial scales but they only went up to 300kg; no problem for the front axle but 400kg would be needed for the rear for a 911. With all the issues I have on the go right now though, I will have to come back to the scales another time.
