I still think the 959 is one of the ugliest cars Porsche ever made

Looks like a 911 with a bad body kit!

Yah. And I'm putting a ferrari V12 in a VW beetle. No pics though

Sounds like a cool project. Post pics when/if you can.

Sound similiar to the guy who built the twin turbo v8 914

If you provide more details, I can provide a sketch

nice sketch, i should take up sketching/painting(acrylic) again, but then again all this time is being spent on the 14 o wells

All I have to say is cool.

I like the idea and I know when the car is done it will be driven some where, some time, some place and pictures will show up of it then.

Guys with big "Bank" (as Brad calls it) like to be quiet about it and I don't blame them.

All I need is those 6 lotto numbers and I'll be one.
(Yes I know lottos are nothing more than self imposed taxes, but it beats the return I got on my Enron shares)

Why'd you need massive ducting/brakes on a 1300# car

In a word, yes. In a few more words, don't forget the close-up of the camshaft.

I think this is fun, I don't mind not seeing the car now, and hopefully I get to eventually. I mean, it's not like someone's carbon fibre body panels are going to literally help get my car off jackstands. What they might do though, which is what a lot of you guys do for me, is provide inspiration.




How's that for mueba?

since Jake ignored me in another thread, thought I'd dig this one up

i was going to bring this up in the 550 thread too..but decided against it..

im glad im not the only one who is still wondering about this project

Me three.

That spyder thread totally brought this back to mind.

every time Jake posts something it's a BIG SECRET!! get real. you always tell us about all the great progress on your project but never show us anything.

If you not willing to show us don't post it.

Man you mean I re-read this entire post for nothing Well I guess we will have to wait about 5 years to see this car. You know that 914 owners have to let the car sit on jack stands a minimum of 5 years before any work get done.

The engine is underway for this car... BUT the customer definately wants to use my heads and thats still going to be a bit before I use them on a customer's engine..

I have only been following the customers directives on not spilling the beans on the car or who's it is or what it will look like- I respect his request. I don't know why he wants it this waym because one reason why we build crazy things is to blow other's minds- can't do that if they never see it.

While some customers are like this (very few) most are like "The Mighty Spyder" and love to share pics. Those are the guys that I benefit from because their project is not just fun, but realy good for business- so I cut them a deal.

The 914 project has slowed a ton since I posted this originally. In the beginning he was all into it, now I only hear from him once every two months- must be on jackstands somewhere!

It doesn't really matter. We'll see pics finally, oooh-and ahhh... and then get back to osphoing.

-shrug-

heh

Sounds like one of those projects that will end up on ebay in a couple of years. We'll see pictures then.

Yep- I'm thinking the same thing, but hoping not..

I'd really like to get this one RAT equipped, even if no one sees it...

If he bails now he's gonna lose a nice deposit, or get some parts that he has no use for- I hate it when people quit in the middle of a build..... Unless its for a damn good reason I'm not a very happy camper.

It's Jesse James, Monster Garage Project.

Could this be the car in the Widows garage?

you're a tease and lurkers suck. i'm not going to even read the whole thread. i stopped reading after no the pictures statement.

Come on Jerry... Come out of lurking. And tell Jake he doesn't have to keep the photos in hiding any more (not that there's anything wrong with that).
