Actually I dont its just my fathers welding shop (american rig welders). Its just has everything tool for metal working plus my dad and his buddy who's been doing steel fab for a combined 85 years. But thank you. I had to learn the porsche method of building but I would be very happy to help anyone out there on a project like this if they need info, how i build customs parts, ect. I'm loving this build and just wanted to share it. To many shops in my area told me it could not be done or just would not return my calls. Guess they believed i was full of it. But Im willing to help anyone free of charge just hit me up! I have a photo dairy of the complete conversion and cost, also I have a ton of left overs lol! someone had to try it right lol

thank guyz, has anyone had experience with the HR Coilover setup, I cant seem to get the ride height much higher then the pictures. And does any one know of a brake master cylinder dual setup for a 996 system to match with the brembo 6 pot front and 4 pot rears? Also taking idea on the engine lid what I should do in that area? carbon fiber? frp GT3 setup ect. Thank for the great comments and help. P.S the wheels are works VS 19x9.5 front and 19X11 rear with yohohoma tires. If anyone needs i have 19x10 rears with new bridestone tires picture in the pre-phase left over had to upgrade to larger on due to gt3 rear quaters and did not want to use wheel spacers.
