I like the black on the rockers. I would either paint a black stripe on the rear quarter along the bottom to match the rocker. Or go all orange as said above.

Please don't get me wrong. I love your car. You've done a great job on it. I just don't love that transition from rocker to rear wheel paint wise. I like the vent there

I actually like the rocker 'combo' black and orange. Something different and unique. Jamie's got the right idea, if you decide to try something. I'd be happy to hook you up with a black vinyl 'stripe' if you wanna try the black bit in my Photoshop mockup.

Regardless, it's lookin' really great!

Car looks amazing! I didnt know if I was going to like it in the progress stages... but now that I see it out and on the road, its a winner! The body lines enhance the look of your car and it is very unique! Congrats and hopefully I will be joining the "Driveable" of the jackstands club soon! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Andrew, this is awesome! I didn't realize you had the mechanics all in order to start driving it. You have really created something pretty unique and striking. I like the photoshop black on the fenders to continue the black continuity. My favorite part of your car, at least from the pictures, is how those back tires just stuff those rear fenders...looks mean. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif)

So what's next on the agenda with your car?

PS Are you happy with the vent kit in your rear stock calipers? I've converted my front to vent rotors and bigger brakes and can't decide on what to do with the back.

The car looks great Andrew. I think you should drive it over to the disco bay tranny clinic this weekend to show it off a little. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif)

I know that you sanded and buffed your heart out to show a quality car.

PS, the fit of the tires front to rear is SNUG


The fronts rub while turning, Its wearing down the inside lip of the fender (Which Im OK with as long as it doesnt crack the fender).

Im going to raise it up 1/2 in after the show.

The vent kit on the back. I am overall not happy with my brakes, but thats due to pedal feel. The vented rear's stocks are fine IMHO. If I needed some more brake back there I'd vent the stock front 914 calipers. Which I might do depending... For now my handbrake isnt even hooked up.


I havent done any hard braking either as my carb likes to die under braking...

Looks Great,

I like the Orange on the fender the way it follows the line of the door and curves forward, gives it some style , (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

A few photos from the car show. The link below is for those interested in other than orange 914 pictures (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) Lots of traffic around the little go cart. Fun talking to the people. We finally had to open the lid and show the dirty engine, everyone wanted to see it.
