914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Time to get back to working on my v8
Posted by: JRust Apr 16 2012, 11:06 PM
Well my LE resto has held me hostage long enough. I still haven't sold it & at this point I may just keep the sucker 
. So It has been my focus for far to long. Moving on to my v8 again.
My new Rotas are 17x7.5 fronts & 17x9 rears. I can't wait to get my GT flares installed so I can put them on. I was looking for some 951 16x8 fuchs all around. After getting 2 I came across these Rota's on Pelican. They looked so damn hot I sold my pair of 951's so I could buy them. Starting this weekend I am moving the LE out of my shop & moving the LE in. Flares are going on soon. I am stocked to get my v8 going again.
Paint will be coming but still deciding on color. Really pretty sure I am going Phoenix red With black bumpers, Rockers, Top & Valances. Kind kicking around some blue combination too though 
Guess I need to go visit that photoshop thread again

No WCR for me this year. It's my twinsDaughters first Prom that friday night. No way I am missing them in their dresses.
Half considered pulling an all nighter to be there saturday. I'm better off putting the money I'd spend on my v8 though. So I am going to stay home & get some work done.
Somebody give me the link to that cool photoshop thread. I'm not finding it in the search with the options I am putting in

I've been slowly working on a version where you can get it to be any color you want, but there are some features that aren't working on it still.

Wow that wasn't the thread I was thinking of? That is flat out kick ass though Nathan. Thanks for putting that link up. Very cool options. I'd love to see the fuchs in a 17" size if it isn't to much work. I get the general idea though so it isn't critical. Thanks

I'm not even sure. They are being shipped as we speak. I should see them before the weekend & can weigh them then. I am sure they are quite a bit heavier than fuchs. Since it is on my v8 car I am not to worried about it. Probably wouldn't go with Rota's on a stock 4

Black bumpers are soooo boring.....Phoenix Red bumpers would be killer.

I kinda dig the Phoenix bumpers too. They look great in the 914 photoshop thing. My problem is possibly the front. With my radiator & the Extra Grill up there. I have basically matched the foglight grills with a big center . It's nice & subtle all in black. Not sure how I'd like that Phoenix. We will see as I have always loved the Alaska Metallic Blue

sorry, thought that's what you meant. I made that to kill the "flared creamsicle" thread that I think is what you actually meant.
I want to gather actual shots of cars at WCR to do a version with better production value and more options (maybe some 17" fuchs). Good luck on the build. I'm subscribed now.

You know I think the deep dish version gave me a good enough idea. It would be cool to be able to copy the image to add the options to my thread. Actually if I could do that I may do a poll & really see what people think. Is that possible Nathan?

Awesome man! I like the Phoenix Red w/Black look (like Nelson's car over at Series9).
In that utah914 photoshop thread, there was a 'pearlized' Porsche Yachting Blue over black/chrome that was killer.

The best you can do for now is do a screenshot and upload it, sorry.

So Jerry PM'd me & has an opening to put my flares on 
. Going to drop it off saturday. Can't afford to get it painted yet but I can live with a little rat rod look for a while. Jerry will get them installed & ready for paint. Then they can sit in primer for a while. I'll drive it for the summer.
Next summer the buick 215 is getting pulled & a LS1 is going in

Dropped my 914-8 off at JMmotorsports to get my flares installed. Jerry does amazing work & I can't wait to get it back. I had my new tires installed on my 17" Rota's replica fuchs too. It's going to be sweet to get them on my car. Only wish I could afford to paint it now. I do have some Phoenix red I could spray the quarters with for a temporary job. It's that or I stick with the rat rod look through summer

RAT ROD!

Added the hitch today so I can tow my 914 trailer behind my v8 conversion. Went pretty well. Huge thanks to Ian for doing all the welding for me. I think it turned out good. I'll get a bumper on it tomorrow & take a picture with the hitch in place. I've got to get my MC leak fixed in the morning. Once I have that I'll hook up the trailer & get another pic
