914World.com _ 914World Garage _ What should Area51Werks do with this car?
Posted by: rick 918-S Sep 19 2010, 02:58 PM
I was holding off on fixing this car 
because I didn't have a title.I figured if I didn't have a title by this fall I was going to pull what I could off the car and scrap the rest. Well I did end up with a title of sorts. I still need to get it transfered but at least for now the car has a stay of execution.
OK, so like I need to start another project... But I have these cool wheels. I have had this project in the back of my mind ever since I first saw these wheels. Regardless of the direction I will be using these wheels and painting it Raspberry.
I had my used tires mounted on them for mockup purposes. The tires are 225/50/16's and 255/50/16's.
Here's one idea:
My other idea is a flared steel roof shop truck. Can someone photo shop one so we can see what it would look like in Raspberry with a black front lid.

Flared Pickup - brilliant - where on earth (or outer space in your case) did that idea come from??

Rick I voted H-6 w/ Flared Pick-up, because if you do just a flare job , you have to do a super-wide version with those wheels and I've always wanted to do a pick-up, so you'll beat me to it

Rick,
I vote flared truck w/ a subi six..
Its going to have to be reliable and your probably going to put some miles on it right? I really think a suby six is your best answer for that.. (Unless you want to be german like me and put an Audi/VW 2.8 FWD setup under it.. You could even go automatic...)

If it's a truck I say it should be a diesel!! VW or Audi 1.8 turbo clean diesel,,,,, I think this world really needs a diesel 914 alien. 
I know you're not allergic to radiators,, and you got MAD skills,,,,, only thing is you gotta chop up that pristine front trunk.

That is the very picture I sent Rick when he left my house with his better 'berry car on the trailer.
I too am in the dream stage of a pickup - just don't have the fabrication skills to pull it off. I keep that picture on my desktop to drool over...

Can someone with photo shop skills put the wheels on the truck and change the color?
Here's the rear wheel and tire. I'm not sure how close the angle is.
Here's the front.

You need to think bigger!
Dual front steering axles, all wheel drive turbo!

pretty lame, but maybe enough to make the point.

Wow! Is there any doubt? That would be an instant classic. Just do it!
Oh yeah, I wonder how it would look with Raspberry centers on the Pedrinis?

Would you regret altering a rare car later?
If not, DO WHAT YOU WANT!!!!!!!!!

All done for now

For some reason, i really like this picture. I think the black hood and the flares make it all work with the raspberry color.
I voted for GT clone with a /6 ...

Cool!
I like the taillights and the reflector! The black makes the Raspberry less stark and shocking.
