Great work!
Where did that flared GT front spoiler/valance come from? Is it a custom piece made from a modified front spoiler? Attached image(s)

QUOTE(maf914 @ Jul 19 2018, 09:16 AM)  Great work! Where did that flared GT front spoiler/valance come from? Is it a custom piece made from a modified front spoiler? Home modified aftermarket piece. Bought it at Hershey and hacked it to pieces. Cut it to suit the front cooler. Took one inch from the the height. Removed the brake cooler openings. Cut each end vertically in three one inch pieces to create the flares. My objective was to have a slightly deeper LE copy that suits a front cooler and GT flares. Did it over the last two weeks. Still itchy. Attached thumbnail(s)   Attached image(s)

I have what I think is the same spoiler/air dam you started with in my attic. I picked it up years ago and always thought it was a little too deep or tall for a street 914. I also thought about cutting the height and filling the brake openings, but that's as far as that went. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Again, good work and best of luck. |

Picked up the chassis and doors yesterday.
I'm very happy with the paint texture and color. Today I installed the wiper assembly and wired and tested it. Also installed windshield trim clips and various rubber plugs and other bits. Need to find some parts in storage or order them to continue with windshield and rear glass install. Think I can make it to Ockteenerfest ? Attached thumbnail(s)

Thank you all for such nice compliments and encouragement.
A few more pics. My plan is to install as many interior and compartment parts as possible before installing any lids or the doors. Well....I couldn't help myself. I needed to see some exterior results. Feels good. Attached thumbnail(s)
