Is a 996 blueprint avaliable.

Guys I was wondering if anybody has a blueprint similar to the one below that show true scale markings for a 996. I need something so I can throw together a few paint designs for my car and if I have scale markings I can send it right out to be cut and not make any sizing mistakes. .

What model year and do you have a coupe or cab?

1999 coupe

Still looking any year 996 coupe photo at this time.

How about this? I can send you a PDF so you can scale it to be more visible if you like.

That's cool Loren. Where did you get it?

It's in the (paper) no longer available 996 service manual.

I actually need the body panels, I plan on using a sticker cutter to make the masks for my painter so that everything lines up correctly.

I don't have any drawing with the body panels. Have you tried any of the model companies - they surely must have done the measurements.

BTW, you should become a member here, and also on Renntech. It's worth it. Plus Loren, other gurus and the community will come through many times and in many ways. Just my $0.02. -td

What are your paint design ideas? We'd like to see some drawings.

Paint will be one of two things, a exterior only color change to that lambo pearl orange, leaving a gulf stripe in the middle with my current color of ocean blue. The other is a very strange gothic pattern accross the whole car in a off shade of white, this would be very difficult to do without the vinyl cutter but very easy to do if I have correct specs.

So, where are the pictures/drawings?

Still waiting for final body design, I have started the search for a bunch of RSR parts as well as a CAD file of the cage design, I have been going back and forth between turning this car into a semi correct RSR or a all out custom stripped down narrow body. So far I have 90% of the cage drawings done, tracked down cracked but repairable rsr flairs front and back, and the inner door panels. I have spe'cs for the windows which means that I have have them made in real cheap. Other stuff like the exhaust is easy enough to fabricate but I will need to sell my factory aero kit as well as the rims before I can really dig into the project. I have even found a company with a big enough autoclave to make a single piece carbon fiber roof panel if I really wanted to go hard core when I pull the sunroof. I only have 10K for the whole project, well plus the sale of the interior the rims/aero/seats/carpet/aircon/stereo/bumper supports/windows/airbags well you get the picture. I think that I can get it done if I do most of the fab and design work myself. If I do the RSR it will be in some sort of factory or privte livery colors but the narrow body will be a complete change to orange without the stripe I believe. Though I have seen this design and I am partial to it of a A10 warthog/p51 mustang front mouth with a gunmetal gray body and a bunch painted on rivits covering the whole car.

The factory replacement sunroof-less panel sells for less than $300USD.

They make a sunroof less panel from the factory? Sweet, that was a major concern for me. Since I have a 99 with no electronic nannys and almost no options except power seats, I thnk by the time I get done I could get the car into the 2450-2500 range if the starting weight I have for my car is correct. I have been discusing this with the wife and she just said buy a TT as I would be better off in the long run but I really like the idea of a RSR, I got to sit in a japanese one that symbolic has on the showroom and it just has this cool presence. Street legality is going to be a issue no mater what I do, I know suff like the windows, bumper supports will never get cited but the cage as well as the noise is going to have big visibiliy I have a fire supression system symiliar to the factory one sitting in the house right now along with a enormus amount of porsche parts for 356/early 911s that I can sell or trade as well for some extra cash.

Is this what you are looking for?

Yes thank you that is exactly what I was looking for.
