Every dog has it's day. I get the "I thought I'd live here forever" quite often in my business. I'm just pointing out another perspective, not bashing his project. I always think of resale. Of course, I'm in sales.

Dave:

Thanks for writing.

There will probably be some modifications as some of the logistics are worked out both the the final design and way a couple graphics are handled.


Thanks,

Now post up a better copy of that rendering so I can save it to my screen saver.

================================
Curtis:

I'd love to post a really big one, but it is pretty limited how large can be posted. If you want a larger size email me.

Take care,

Ty

==============================
Camaroguy:

I'd like to have it in the 4th Quarter. I don't want the build to last forever, I want to be driving her asap.

You know, places to go and Rubber to Burn!!

Thanks,

SO who is doing the fab work or are you doing it.

==============================
I'm going to do some of the interior, some technical designs, and I hope to build the Aero Parts. I would really like to try some of the reayl well designed ones I've seen. Since most of the speeds will be fairly slow ( < 100 mph) the designs will have to be more aggressive so hopefully some benefit can be realized by having them on the car.

Jake will be doing a lot of the "Heavy Lifting". I still don't have a lot of strength in my shoulder yet. I have a number of months left on that.

do you have any side view renderings or rear iso to get a better idea of what that 2nd gen roof line looks like on it? Going with the "fastback" shape on the 69 is definitely thinking outside of the box.

edit - I just noticed the box next to the pic - I overlooked it/didn't see it 'til I went back after my post but I can see the roofline just fine there.

byndbad:

Love the 914!

First favorite car I ever had. I think I was about 8 y.o. at the time. I caught the bug early.

I think the subtle line changes will make working with the wind a bit easier. I really want to study and play around with that aspect of this car.

I want to get it to work first. If it also looks cool, all the better.

Same with the wheels. In testing if it needs more rake, and I can't get what I need out of the suspension adjustments, I can always put a taller wheel/tire combination on it.

Plus, by being able to lower the car easily, I think working with a smaller Diameter Wheel/Tire combination is a no brainer.

Thanks for writing,

Negative effects?

Pray Tell?

I'm interested.
