So I'm thinking of making my car a street clone of the Brumos car. Basically run the decals, but still keep it street legal to drive it to car shows and the local roads. Since the Brumos car is still racing in vintage racing series is there any issue in this anyone knows of? If I showed up at Monterrey historics could I get into trouble? Still don't know for sure if I will do it, but I think it would be real cool.

If you call it what it is - a tribute - and don't try to say it's an original Brumos, I can't see what would get them in a snit over it. Use a paint code that's different (still the color but not the exact code) and there's your defense.
I would just make it the way you want. Lots of race car tributes out there. 10x more in the 911 world. It’s usually only a pretty blend when you try to sell something that’s trademarked.
There is no way you'll get into any trouble for replicating or making your car look exactly like the Brumos car.
Have fun and enjoy your car.
Too much worry in life today.
@http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showuser=222 Paul, yes please post all of them you want. I love 59, I have photos of the details of the car, never spent time for glamor shots. Snodgrass, and Haywood where very nice an approachable about 59. Bob even gave me some of the Haywood Cola, still have a can.
BTW 59 was cloned by Brumos originally until the real 59 reappeared out of a dirt barn floor in the lower Americas.
And run real Mini-lites if you can find them, nothing bugs me more the the ascetics of the clones. Lug holes bored into the wheel spoke, original mini-lites did not have these. It is a subtle detail that makes the wheel
Now make it happen, much better than some of the other choices out there.
Thanks all. What color is it? At first I was thinking he was more red, but looking at more photos I think it's more like the orangy pheonix red?
My car is Scarlet red... so it'd be a bit off. Probably still look good as a similar looking race car.
