Thanks for the update - while we hope you will never have to test it, it certainly looks to be incrediby solid and well engineered!

Very cool.
What do you do with all those cables to protect them?
Sure looks like a lot of work to do in the dash area too.
Its very interesting to see what goes on in the build.
Appreciate you posting the pics and description.

Once the dash is back in, all of the cables will get routed and tied down neatly. The fuse box will also get relocated.

Ian, thanks for the offer but the work is being done by the experts at Hergesheimer Motorsports in Lake Forest. It would take me a month of Sunday's (or longer) to do this much work myself (and it wouldn't be even close in quality).

Progress is coming fast and furious! Wiring complete, dash installed, doors installed, passenger seat & harnesses, light weight battery, electrical kill switch and wiring, roof net, etc...
Interior is looking good. Removable Momo steering wheel. Perforated Rennline pedal set. Stainless panel floorboard.
Lightweight battery, kill switch, custom wiring. Kill switch tied directly to ECU to cut fuel pump immediately.
Roll cage welds that are a work of art. Full paint on roll cage and interior including clear top coat.
Roof net installation. Please keep all hands and feet in the vehicle at all times.
Car number and class in gold.
I gotta break up all of the black with some color. Getting ready for a stripe!
Thanks Eric and everyone at HRG.

So when/where are we going to see your first race when it all gets done?
I rode along in a race prepped car at an Autocross once and it was like a bag of cats exploding off the line and then in every direction at once around the course.
It was a good thing I was wearing a well fitted helmet as my head was banging around on the roll bars from the insane acceleration and what I can only describe as Jinking vs steering around the course.
I don't know how the driver kept it on the track let alone avoiding all the cones in the Auto-X.
The lightness and increased HP really brings out a whole new dimension in the Boxster.

The car will be completed tonight - I'm picking it up tomorrow morning. Will be at AutoClub Speedway in Fontana, CA on Sat and Sun!
I feel like I'm 9 yrs old and am picking up my new Schwinn Stingray tomorrow.

you all can feel free to come join us at the event! We will have a huge stable of Boxsters in various levels of modification hitting the track. Mornings are loaded with practice sessions, afternoons hold wheel to wheel races and time trials. Everything is free and the competitors are *usually* pretty friendly!
I took a bunch of progress pictures today but I'm keeping them secret until we can surprise stone with the car tomorrow!

Here it is! Man, I couldn't be happier. Eric, Mark, Laura, Evan, Tyson, Bobby, and the entire team at Hergesheimer made the reveal this morning just like a TV show. Thanks to Alex aka Little "t" for the color combo! I'll post up some more pic's later, got to go and get it ready for tomorrow.
Dave and Ian, please come on by anytime this weekend! There will be quite a few Spec Boxsters and a couple of Cup cars with us (along with Eric's insanely fast 3.6 Boxster). Run group schedule (I'll be in White/Yellow) is here: https://porscheclubracing.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/ACSINFO82413.pdf
