@Joel Roth - I've only ever seen one Slate Gray 356, but it was fantastic - especially with an Oxblood interior. If I ever build another (and I'd like to), that'll be the combination I choose.
I love Slate Grey. Actually, all greys on Porsches. I think it’s an elegant color.
Back in 2005 or so, I used some FF miles to go to Indy, watch F1 qualifying, buy some swag, then fly home. As I was waiting to cross the road heading back to the track from the unofficial swag vendors, a slate grey 911 passed by. Looked familiar.
A couple of weeks later my suspicions were confirmed when I saw Todd McQueen on a program talking about his dad’s cars. It was this Slate Grey 911 from Le Mans, with Todd driving.

@Joel Roth posted:Interior space and legroom in the mid engine Super Coupe was always a concern of mine. That was why I wanted to come up to Charleston for a "test fit" in your car. But when Carey told me that the customer they were building the rear engine car for was 6'3" and they had to move the seat forward, I switched immediately.
Don't get me wrong the mid engine Super Coupe is a great car. I love mid engine cars. But for me the rear engine Super Coupe is much better. After all, whatever car you buy you have to fit in it and be comfortable, otherwise what's the point?
I think you should also consider body styles as you can be 6'4" and have a short body and fit in the car, in any seat really, but with you need a longer leg area but, if you tall in the torso you may not be able to get in the car unless you go head first... ask me how I have to get into a speedster with the top up, and hence I own a roadster, he seat is as low as it can go and I have Recaro seats rather than roadster or speedster seats. Just confirming that fitting my body in my IM roadster build was imperative. My first IM had a roadster seat that were low in my back.

I find the classic colours are pretty awesome, on a 356, so are your seat choices and how can you not like fuchs. I hope you can try the seats on for fit.
A friend's slate gray 356C cabriolet. Spectacular!

"Now, when you open the engine lid you actually see an engine, and in my car it will be a Porsche 911 motor."
It's a nice feeling...1995 993 3.6. Looks ugly, but I don't drive with the lid up.

@Bob: IM S6 Isn't your car an IM Super 6 or Super 6 Speedster? 
Nothing super, Ray. Just a nicely put together speedster by Intermeccanica. 
And I am fortunate enough to own it...
No, it is anything but ugly. It is beautiful. You should powder coat or paint the fan shroud and air intakes in a color that will "pop" and look great.
The more I see the Gray and Oxblood combination the more I like it. But I am leaning more toward the Graphite Gray rather than the Slate Gray because I think the Slate Gray may be a little too dark.
nardo grey is killer,,,Chalk is also a P color that is gorgeous
dog is GUS..borderdoodle,moms a border collie and dad is a poodle,,hes a sweetheart

I think Ray wants to call a "Super" an IM with the pie-cut widened rear fenders.
Super pie cut
From a car offering the IM-6 certainly has been the max offering in IM's écurie hoping the Global warming push to cut all gaz and oil comes to some reasonableness and allows us to continue with IC the others can choose E but market change by fiat is not my favourite as it becomes more religious than based on fact.
This is going to be a great car, Joel! I like all the Porsche grays and almost went with the Graphite Grey, but chose Fashion Grey instead. I didn't want a metallic this time. Here's a shot right out of paint.

Me too. I like all the Gray colors. Yours looks very nice. I see it has a single rear grill, Bee Hives and what looks like a Pre-A dash. What year is it?

That's on list of things to do. Just waiting for the shop to finish their paint booth.

It a Vintage Motorcars Pre-A coupe, so a '54-'55 copy. Also rear engined like yours, but with a 2.5L Subaru, and pan based (IRS rear). I'm only 6' and thin enough to slide through a mail slot, so I'm not worried about fitting in it. Still in progress, but moving toward completion.
