QUOTE(sendjonathanmail @ Jul 10 2007, 07:04 AM)  george, is the kit for sale still??/ I believe you said that it was being revised or something? -JON Hi Jon. I just posted some pics of the lastest revision. Really need to find someone to complete it for us! Suddenly there are just too many restorations coming our way to take the time to finish! I am going to make one more post of the current state of the final design. It looks much more like a 904 now. |

Didn't EXCELLENCE have an article on SUPERFORMANCE (of cobra replica fame) building a 904?
Seemed to me it was a wee bit longer wheelbase and a wee bit wider but looked spot on for a 904... Last time I looked, there was still nothing on the Superformance web site, although the EXCELLENCE article said they had been working on the 904 for some years and even had purchased a real 904 to make moulds from.... |

Superformance was working with Chuck Beck to sell his car, I don't know if there still doing it. |

I got to see a 904 in person last summer over at Mark Schlachter's shop in Cincy(Dean's Dream ltd). I helped raise and lower the bonnet over the real deal 4 cam. What a beautiful car, it was surprising to me how small it is.

I wonder how many of us have now "decided" we "need" a 9014/904 project? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Chuck Beck added 2" to the door it's still hard to get in and out off. If your are over 6ft forget it. |

Chuck abandoned the superperformance because of south african politics to employ the masses and therefore needing more production than he needed! he is now doing the car here in the states. He comes by here once a week and we talk. A real down to earth fine man. |

I'm with the "I love 904" crowd. One of the sexiest designs ever IMHO.
There's a fair bit of 904 in our 914's. Pretty much same era, same layout, and some of the chassis is very similar. Sorry, but I'm not too keen on the 9014. Too wide, that funky air dam (???) or whatever you call it on the rear trunk looks like it would act like a small parachute. the front fenders and sail panels look too tacked on. Good concept, making a 904 body kit for a 914, but it would take more to actually make it look like a 904. The 9014 just doesn't work for me. |
