There seemed to be some interest in a project I worked on many years ago now. I never took pictures, it wasn't my car or even my project. I was brought in to lend some expertise. I built a bender to form an arch shaped roll bar for this hand built 928 roadster.
We then welded sheetmetal to the back of the bar to form a wing shape, made a third brake light with a custom formed lens. Then the guy that did my Pasha seats in my 914 covered the bar with tan leather. He used a cool baseball stitch on it, all hand sewn. Larry found this video from Barrett/Jackson.Spyder Werks first proto type sells |

Here's the same car. I did some of the glas work also. The body was all hand formed. Lots of filler, glas, filler. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) This car didn't have door glass or a top. The winsheild is from Saab 900. It is used upside down and recut. I modified the push botton release for the trunk lid. The trunk is so small there isn't room for a golf bag. I always hated it.
