Probably going to be thrown out of the PCA and banned from the narp club but I think the styling of the car on the right was dead on...
It's just so rebellious for a 914 and so much more interesting than modern 911s.  |

Yeah, it is too bad quality was poor on aftermarket. Mine has one of those mitcom color schemes and is from near where mitcom was operating and considering the only previous owner.. I suspect it is a mitcom job.
I just have a soft spot for that late 70s early 80s design. If the 914 had survived to see it, I would like to think it would have looked like mine. And not like a 924. Not saying the 924 looks bad, just not the same car. |

The Chalon kit certainly had me salivating back in the day! Here's a page from a 1980 Automotion catalog.

Dan This is what I am saying, IMHO the paint scheme works great with this car as far as the lines go. I would remove and put on real factory 924 or 911 bumpers and rubber acordian ends because that is what ages poorly and look fake in the glass. If the pieces are too long cut and have someone weld then shorter. Bob B |
