Working out any kinks is something we all have to do, however for me it was a combination of tweaking and trusting the car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

Jerry,

Your car is beautiful. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) It's one of the best flowing front bumper modifications I've ever seen. It looks factory with those horizontal grill bars. Also, like the wheel's?? How about more photo's & I like the way it sits!!
Really, a beautiful street rod 914!!!!

wow, clean execution and car looks great. I agree the detail on the front bumper looks fantastic and I LOVE the RUF wheels - I wanted to use them on mine but they weren't wide enough. For a street car tho' they look and work awesome!

aside from that air cleaner, which has a nasty propensity for the foam breaking down and getting sucked into the carb, it looks awesome.

great work. =)

any closeups of how you did the front grille?

thanks for sharing with us.

WOW, what a beautiful car!!!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif)

What did you use for the front grill opening? I have long meant to do something very similar, but have never been able to find the right material.


BTW Roger, if you replace the foam filter element every 6 months of so, you won't have that nasty break down problem. About $12 at the FLAPS.

The grill is a billet unit made for a Nissan 350Z. It matches the curve of the bumper the best of any I could find. I cut it down to fit and welded studs on the back of the bumper to hold it in place.
