I will be going to Altissimo restoration later this year for a full blown face lift.
Help me with some ideas using Black rockers, air dam and spoiler, Ivory base and Red accents.
Thanks,
KT

And one to help keep you from spinning the car.

...or do we mean Sonauto, the French importer that ran the #40 GT in the 1970 Le Mans to a class win ?

Or match a color with the $.99 cans from Home Depot.

Wish I could do that photo shop stuff. I just start masking and painting and the paint seems to do the work. Here's an old photo from the late 70's of a Corvair I had.

Hey Dave, (korijo) post the 914 with the cool retro graphics on the hood. You know.. the one that you had for an avatar for a while.
Posted by: mudfoot76 May 27 2005, 07:35 AM
Go with the arrows (either the red, or the 908 style)!!
It lets people know which way is forward 
Posted by: trekkor May 27 2005, 08:27 AM
O.K.- Now we're getting somewhere.
Thanks Mark. ( except for the spin thingy. You heard too? )

It can't be a real race car without a number.

Does anyone have a profile like above with GT flares?
I want to start playing around with some schemes for my car.
Thanks
Paul

Wouldn't be easier to do the stripe in vinyl?
Posted by: brant May 27 2005, 08:51 AM
Trekkor,
I think you should go with an orange color scheme:

I don't have time to do the photoshop, but what about painting it like one of the Japanese Zero fighters, black nose, big red dot on the side, white tail with the black strip across it.
Could mark all your cones as kills...would be sweet...or maybe I just have bad taste...

Thanks, Gwen. That looks pretty good.

I like the arrow scheme, but on the hood like the 917, the porker concept is cool but you'll need GT flares to make it feel at home. I really liked the checked theme with Troy's additional ideas.

one of my favorite 914 racecar looks ...
but it ain't white, sorry ...
