As I watched this video I couldn't help but notice the surface condition as the GT hood
was opened.' The video is attached to a current thread on 914 World. 'Real GT' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8aeyzpt5Mo...nnel=BillyShott |

He said that was the way Porsche made it and he was keeping it that way It's easy to forget that back in the day the factory race program did not give a rats ass about showing those cars at a concours or in a museum. Many of the original parts have a rather rough finish and often don't fit/align well. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) |

Getty ones are a bit thicker and are flatter for paint.. |
