Does anyone anywhere have an old photograph or grid list from any race anywhere from before 1982 showing a Chalon-bodied 914 racing with any group on any track? I'm trying to find some evidence to support eligibility to run mine in Vintage with RMVR. If I can prove that someone else raced one anywhere with any group, then I have a much better shot at having my car meet the RMVR eligibility requirements for 1981 and older cars. I've looked, but couldn't find anything. I also can't find any history of the Chalon body kits, specifically the years they were made. I thought they were produced starting in the late 70's and I've seen a date on some paperwork for a body that was being sold here on the World forum of 1984, and that body looked like a newer version of the one on my car. Any and all help appreciated.

Mike,
I'm sorry my input doesn't help either but I know of a few Colorado racing chalons also wheel to wheel in PCA, in the 90's however, not in SCCA in the 1972-1981 rules I'm sorry I don't have more helpful input. maybe strip the Chalon kit and put fenders on or buy a different chassis and build it to taste? sorry.... brant |

I'm thinking of buying a shell and swapping over all the good stuff to it, or buying fenders and bumpers and stripping the Chalon kit from the existing tub. Too bad, because the car is set up nicely now, and although I know I'm in the minority here, I really like the Chalon body and would like to keep it. Maybe I can graft onto the front fenders so they look like the ones on the Sheridan kit, which look close to stock with the turn signal buckets protruding forward. Then there's the V-8 issue if I put the 215 Buick into it.... At least I can continue racing it with SCCA as it is. |
