It's totally different, except for the "bumper".
The Sheridan kit has flares that are closer to the M471/GT flares, Leeds car has flat flares with a sharp angle. Sheridan has no "turn signal" locations, Leeds does Sheridan has rounded opening to the oil cooler, Leeds is squared I don't doubt that Leeds bought it from Roger, but it's not the same kit that Roger is selling now. Either Roger changed his kit (I don't think so... I remember Sheridan kits from Waaay back), Roger modified a one-off for Leeds, or Leeds modified it himself. I almost looks like the AIR flares with a Sheridan front, but the flares aren't even the same as AIR. Point being, in response to Duc's original question... you can't just go buy a Sheridan kit and get what Leeds has on his car.  |

Then again, there really isn't much on that car you can just go out and buy. Even the chasis of his car has some trick stiffening done to it from using stuff at Boeing to find the weak points. This is my all time most desored 914 and someday I hope I'll get to drive it. |
