A change of plans, and a tail dragger Options

[John Kelly]

Well I have had to give up on my gullwing door, mid engine Karmann Ghia concept..it has been in the planning and experimenting stage for about 15 years. I finally realized that if I want to get a car on the road, I'm going to have to be less ambitous. If I were able to work full time on it, I could have had it done in 5 years or so. At the rate I was going, 15-25 years would be more like it. Just turned 50, so getting a car on the road while I can still enjoy it is a good plan. The new plan: Ghia with steel flares, t-tops, big fat 914 engine (see "tail dragger" picture), will change to early taillights and headlight sections. I hope I can still tag along since only the engine will be 914, not the suspension...I'll catch you on the straights.

Trying to sell my house and buy a small motel across the street from the beach...a good place for a 914 gathering.... think about the curvy roads on the way to Moclips Wa.
