If the germans ever built a car to totally and utterly humiliate the 6.6l trans am during the 1970s they would paint it like this.
It would decimate that car in any sort of motorsports competition and looks twenty times better. I love it. |

schweeeeet (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) I plan to do the fuel door mod for my weekend racin 914, can you share the details on where you got that one? If it is proven, looks that smooth, I see a winner. The fuel door is for a Dodge Ram pickup: http://www.solidbydesign.com/sbd/productde...px?fuelDoorID=3 We did do very slight slight modifications. |

The fuel door normally takes nuts, bolts and screws to mount to the intended Dodge truck. You will need to find countersunk screws with nuts to mount to the 914 hood. That's the only mod. I have removed the fuel expansion tank since it is just extra weight on a track car. Pic below: |

I remember seeing the car go around an autox in dublin about 7-10 years ago!!!! I was young at the time, 10-13.. The car was first owned by Alan T, a dentist in Phoenix. It was then sold to Toby O in the Bay area - who autocrossed it for several years. When Tobi moved to Hawaii, I bought it from him and returned it to Phoenix in September of 2003. |

The downside: It also makes easier to dribble fuel on the the paint. If you are repainting the hood, the mod is a "no brainer" since you don't have to worry scratching the hood while cutting the hole. |

I have added some "before" pictures. Wild 6 has always been a workhorse - competing in events for over 20 years between 3 different drivers. In the last 5 years, it was involved in 4 track incidents - people used to joke that maybe I needed to add a target sign to the paint scheme. It was getting kind of tough to look at with all the track rash so I had it redone over the summer. I hope it doesn't offend the purists. For those who don't know, Wild 6 is powered by a 3.6L 993 motor, 915/Wevo box and 996TT brakes. /// /// /// Great car and it looks fantastic. Paint scheme really works. Actually one of the first 6 conversations, done by Bontempi at High Performance House, if I remember correctly. Lots of TTOD at GGR when we were still running in Dublin. |

Thanks for sharing the fuel door link and photo (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
My front lid is secured by 4 pins, and if I can reduce the hassle of dealing with them I am stoked. You gotta see me at the pump; holding the hose way away from the fender, letting the nozzle drip dry for a minute, then down with the prop rod and on with the hood pins...whew!
