I wanted to paint under the HPH flares before putting them on, so I did.

I gotta admit, it's YELLOW

I believe that is the first teener I have ever seen that had a "front boot lid" that looks as if it "fits" correctly.

JP, Looks nice! Bill flared his a little to match the curve HPH flares. Maybe he left more metal...

Joe, can you show a pic of the underside of "your" CF lids?

Did I mention that yellow is faster?.....

Keep the pics coming.

Clay - "Oh.. and Betty says "If yellow is #1, then brown is #2." - that's too much !!
Awesome - ROTFLMAO !!

I have a bunch of pics on my website http://members.rennlist.com/mountain914 as well as http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?act=Post&CODE=06&f=2&t=26003&p=336575, but feel I already post too many pictures here. If there's something specific you want, let me know !
Thanks *so much* for the compliments, darn thing has been sitting for over 2 years, perhaps this summer I'll get it going (I hope). There's a lot of beautiful cars out there and J.P. - looks like it's coming along nicely !!

Went to AX meetings all day, PCA & SCCA so I didn't get much done.
One down, one to go. This is the easy part.

I saw your ex today and she looked very nice indeed.....yellow, but not YELLOW. Jim pulled up & parked and his smoke cloud kept going. Great arival.
Just a puff when he restarted to leave.....kind of a let down.

Posted by: nine14cats Feb 28 2005, 01:12 AM

JP,

What rockers you gonna run?

And did you settle on 16 inch rims?

Bill P.

Posted by: J P Stein Feb 28 2005, 01:33 AM

Hay, Bill.
Stock rockers, but cut off a bit where they pass behind the fenders.
Got a set of Monocoque 10 X 16s comming ....9lbs ea. A pic, of
course. The steelies were up in the air too long. The sellers came thru the day after I committed to these so I had to pass...even at 400 bucks.....that cost me a pretty penny.
2 of the wheels have 10 X 22 slicks in decent shape. I priced the 11 X 23.5s...ouch, you could have warned me. $250 tiars
hurt a CSOB to the bone.

Hey JP,

9lbs?....no shit? Never heard of that brand before. You sure they're made of metal? Yep...those 23.5x11's ain't cheap. I've got the 22's and 23/5's and I'll see if I have much different times in Auto-x with the two sets. If the times are close...I'll use the 22's for auto-x and the wider tires for the track...

When do you think you will be track worthy? Due to circumstances beyond my control, it looks like I won't be out until June or July now....

Paint goes on the biggest pile of parts next weekend....come hell or high water. The hoods will be here early this week. One door is ready to shoot. One door is stripped but otherwise untouched......gawd....gotta weld on some brackets.... If I haven't kilt off all my brain cells when that's over, I'll get to wrenchin' . April 1 is my target date...only a month behind schedule. PCA AX on 17 April will be ULYFs comming out party.

Posted by: J P Stein Mar 6 2005, 04:08 PM

I found it virtually impossible to get the gun under the sail....Lord knows what it looks like under there.
I'll get at it when I take off the masking for the interior.
Still gotta do the doors, hoods I engine cover. Those are a piece of cake. Thus far I've used about 2/3rds of a gallon.

Nice day for painting, tho....bout 65-70 deg.....lotso bugs, tho.

Runs, drools and bugs will all sand. And you are a very experienced sander!

I've always wondered about that. I had my first 914 repainted and as I feared they totally screwed that area up. Ho do you do it right? Gotta do it from inside with the window removed?

ps - look real good, JP.

Posted by: Eddie914 Mar 6 2005, 08:13 PM

AWESOME!

Yellow is fabulous.

Put the "Carerra" script on the door and it will match my buddy Harry's 911RS.

Eddie

ps: Use a razor blade (single edge) on the runs & drools.

J.P.,

I can't decide what color to repaint my 914 ... Gulf Blue (leave the orange stripe) or yellow ... yours looks soooo good!

Near as I can figure, that's bout the only way to get at it.
I tried using one of the spray bottles thingys but I had to get more than 45 deg with the thing....directions?... what, me read?......paint all over hell when it blasts out the vent......auugghh!. I *think* I can use the bottle thingy with the window out.
