The curve,modified,soon to be tweaked,again.

In the light metallic blue they look so good in,some sky colour.

You might have something there,a germ of the ideas they had in the late 50's.

Some mods,and a scraper,with 916 style diverters.
Hmmm..what will I do next?A stretch and a raising of the rear trunkline.
To make room.

just buy a 904 body and ..... there was a show once called "chop cut rebuild"

Purchase a windscreen from Pilkington.
http://www.pilkington.com/en-gb/uk/automot...-models/porsche
Then,create the surround and underlying cage structure.
The male plug for the molds,drawn in cad,machined in cam,polished to symmetry.
Later,if one wished,a sheetmetal skin could be pounded and wheeled out,because aluminum is light too.

A 904 replica or homage is a worthy endeavor,if done well.((Edit:08/12/16):The 904's windscreen looks pure sex on the 914's lower body,so well raked)
A drawing of a trial fit has inspired a 250LM comparision,and although flattering,the windscreen is the only similarity,and differently sized.
Neato,the smaller,narrower,904's glass and roofline makes the sectioned,stretched 914 bodyshell slicker.
A lot of work,the drawings the plan,and only the seed,or beginning,of a total custom.
With a pumped up P6 or H6,the performance would satisfy,briefly.
Go ahead,resurrect a 914 near you,instructions can be found here on the World.


(edit:07/24/16)

Ferrari fit 'that thing'(the Columbo 3.3L V12),into a 250LM,with some well planned,(drawn),forethought.
The 250LM has a WB 50mm(2") shorter than the 914,so,it is a tight squeeze.

Well,I raised the rear trunkline,widened the fender at the rear wheel,
and generated a creaseline that fades in as it goes forward,from the top of the fender,fading out toward the rear of the front wheel opening lip.
The top of the front fender has been given a more pronounced curvature that fades into the top of the doorskin,a subtle hint of TR,Pininfarina.
Similar to what I did to the metallic blue stretch.

Soon to be scooped,a huge character change,from mild to wild.
Still maintaining the 914 targa curve,modded.

You have mad photochop skills. But I'm with the previous thoughts: Too much sail swoop. A couple of the real pics posted look better. Just a $.01, not critical.

Although not as ultra cool, you needn't physically join the engines. I grew up in Seattle where they imported a lot of foreign. An informal drag strip was down by Shilshole Bay. I would swear there were stories about a VW beetle with twin engines. One mounted in the passenger compartment. Getting the power of the second engine to the ground might be tricky with a 914.

Not to spoil the other aspect of producing the most beautiful fairy dust. I kinda think we aren't in PhotoShop anymore.

That frame makes me feel old. So pretty, and you end up crouched in one of the side trays. I would need a chain hoist to get in and out. Somewhere along the way my get up and go left. The matching work aligning the two cars is awesome.

Yes.
250LM=914-8,a comparison I never considered,because it's ludicrous,as demonstrated above.
Pretty extreme concept,huh?This one is the Stratos glass,the roofline of the 914,lowered to meet the top of it.~50mm.
The A pillar is closely matched to the Stratos glass's trailing edge,changed to meet the taper to the top.
After all,many a 914 windshield is damaged,as is the chassis.A derelict rusted varmint nest,in a field,free.
Some consider the 914's bare bones as a starting point,a basic map on which to draw a path to a nirvana of one's preference.
The chassis,when lowered from the standard ride height,makes for altered suspension geometry,nasty at the edge.

what ..what ?? have not read the whole thread,,almost fits...needs a windshield Hahahaha

Neato!
A unique sail treatment,and it appears that they love the shape,guiding the air behind the targa.
I haven't decided,and will wait for the completed product,and the slot is an interesting feature.
The sizing of the grated opening and exit of the air passages makes one wonder at the flow produced.
I feel the sail,extended so far aft,hides the fender's top curvature,a detail defining the 914's rear.
The early Cayman is a good example of the desire to maintain a discrete rear fender curve.

The tapered sail has been popular since the 904 and Dino 246,and tagging a pair onto a mid engine is also a popular pastime.
Expectations of conformity and adherence to stock outlines,particularly in California,are timid and the opposite of the flashy fastback.

This looks ok,911 sail looking.

Not a 914 anymore. But a better nod to their brethren than most of the other hacks we see.

better copyright/ pattend / trademark , the 5 paddle 4 lug style fuch...don't let MW see this....

To be modified slightly,I feel the petals are too wide,a '60s flower power fad.
Ties of that style were the rage at the time,seen in 'Austin Powers'.
I'll narrow them to see if there is an improvement,a subjective perception.
I wanted to try a ten hole wheel,and I like the Four-Fuchs raised hammering.
Doing one without the high contrast black paint,looking good.
You're right though,looked and haven't found any wheels similar to this design.

A Tow Tonka 914, 6x6 5th wheel, Porsche Diesel.

I want to build Baltic Black 07!

We have detailed drawings, monocoque load structures on both ends.
I've been looking, there is a fellow who has reversed the direction of the front torsion bars on his build, now pointing to the rear, like the Mopars, to better stiffen the factory pan, could be an elegant solution for the 904-14-6.
He released the sketches as a stimulating idea board, a unusual approach for a liquid cooled -14, sidemount radiators and plenums. Looking beneath the rear bumper, full length venturis, the targa exhaust vents are functional, hot air out.

Carl Young did it and raced it, through Nevada..

Great idea, like to see more photos, looks a '70s era modification.

I believe there is a turbo six 914 in orange, here, and with long gears could possibly break the 175 trap Carl Young set in '89.

Why didn't I think of that ?
A simple solution to lowering the front end, raise the strut mount through the hood, bonnet, and cap with aero bubbles. The rear, by cutting the spring, I wonder if they also raised the swingarm pivots by the correct amount. A genuine 69 build -6.
What has it's fate been ?
