It's on its way to Pilot Knob, MO and the paint shop of Shelby, aka Flatout.

Shelby and her Dad came up to O'Fallon Saturday morning to trailer my car to her shop. In about 2 months time, my 72 faded Bahia Red 2.2 liter will take on a new appearance; a steel flared, Jaguar Racing Green GT clone.

I'll be posting pictures as often as I can to show the progress of the car, and there's a good chance Shelby will as well. Most of us have seen the superb paint jobs Shelby has done on Hot Rods, Show cars and bikes. Now we'll get to see a 914 getting a dose of her magic.

The most incredible part of the story is the "Miss April" picture on the Club calendar. Can someone scan and post for those unfortunate members who did not buy a calendar?

Well,it would definitely not be good for me to weld with less clothes on! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I don't think I would enjoy the welding burns where they might occur! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) I did catch my hair on fire once welding under a car.Had to get a new hair style until it grew b (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stan.gif) ack out.

Yes, Thack , I have posted picks of street rods, harleys and late model cars that I have painted. I have no idea how to find them on this site. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) I imagine Gary will keep posting pics. Kevin, thanks for the kind words on Randy's 911

Shelby working on the driver's side rear flare. You can see the blue painted
flared rocker fit to the car for proper alignment of the flare.
