Is the cowl molded into the fenders? If so....verrrry slick.

Posted by: JMDAZED Oct 26 2006, 04:38 PM

Hey Jeff..

Are you *sure* you are supposed to be posting pics of the car?? LOL

I thought he was being somewhat secretive about it.

Oops.. Anyway, Scott said it was cool, and this car threw off my paint schedule this week.

Posted by: JPB Oct 26 2006, 05:31 PM

Someone had asked about the engine. What power plant is that? And would you have the balls to make a mould of them rear fends for a small fee? I would be gald to forward the $$$ for the materials and laybour.

Sorry, kinda feel ethically wrong on that demand since it is his own look and that makes his extra special.

Last time I checked:

Audi S4 twin turbo engine..and possibly a BoxsterS tranny

Wow, very cool thanks.

The cowl is welded to the fender and the center grill is gone. Both wiper 'dimples' are gone and replaced with a single center wiper.

JMDAZED, how f-ed up were the front fenders?

Ask Scott Yeaman if he needed a "bambalance" for this job! He'll get it....

What a great guy to hang out with at the track!

Posted by: 914-8 Oct 26 2006, 08:27 PM

Gonna look awesome, but would look even awesomer if you swap whhels and tires with that Stratus!

Posted by: Trevorg7 Oct 26 2006, 08:49 PM

Felix - that looks great. Is that the same car I looked at under the tarp two months ago?

If so holy cow! great work.

Posted by: McMark Oct 26 2006, 09:07 PM

Yep, it is Brad.

Posted by: trekkor Oct 26 2006, 09:12 PM

It is the same #628 car. You can still see the red/yellow on the front.

It looks great.

thanks Jon, we have a "sickness for 914s' @ my shop. I swear we have fixed them all at one time or another in CA.

That's a cool car! Wait, it's sitting in my driveway!

Scott's crew did a great job, I just wish I brought it to him earlier.

The project's no secret, my daughter broke my camera a couple of months ago and I've been sort of too busy on the car to be online and posting. Club members will photograph it at the show to post...

For those of you who haven't followed the thread, "neo914 concept" link is in my signature. All details are in individual thread links.

Felix, are you going to be with the car most of the time or is there a particular time we can catch you during the week? Hope you can join us for dinner Thursday night.... amazing project.

Posted by: SirAndy Oct 27 2006, 10:50 AM

you know, not to be bitchy or anything, but after all you already went through with that car and all you're going to do to it,

are you just going to leave the engine comp and trunks all ratty?

how about the underside of the car?

Posted by: Jeroen Oct 27 2006, 11:07 AM

I was wondering the same thing, but didn't ask at the risk of being 'bitchy'

Posted by: neo914-6 Nov 11 2006, 02:17 PM

The cowl was Mark's fine work and done at my house, thank you! For those who don't know, Mark did alot of great welding and fabrication on this car in Napa
