I just picked up a '74 roller and I am thinking of going with a Sheridan body kit. Underneath all of that I would like to go with as much tube frame as possible. I can imagine that building a tube frame is like art and most guys express their ideas with their designs. But, is there a standard or some type of model I could use to get started? I also understand that this is racing and this info is usually kept pretty confidential but I was just asking.
I am not doing this all myself. I have a friend here in Houston that owns a Porsche Racing Shop that is going to help.
Full Version: 914 Tube Frame
I believe Gunnar Racing's website has pics on a few tube-frame or semi-tube-frame 914s. http://www.gunnarracing.com .
A recent thread on this BBS features a link to more pics of the construction of a tube-frame 914. http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?act...=ST&f=2&t=22988
Somewhere around here are pics of Brad's tube-frame car. Search for "novato swap pics" and you'll probably come up with something.

Chad,
That's one of those easy questions to ask, but hard to answer. It all depends.
It can be a long and expensive project.
Call RacerChris or Brad to discuss it first.

I like the in-car, driver adjustable swaybars on Rogers car...awesome vehicle, looks even better in person.... 
someone just posted a tubeframed 914 roller with sheridan bodywork for sale on rennlist (914 e-mail list)
asking $4000 IIRC
might be a good starting point

GT1 not a 914 but.....

No two are the same.
Beautiful but how much 914 is required to still call it a 914? I see about 30% of the sheet metal...

Nice pics. Thanks a lot Paul.
I'm not real sure what to do with this thing. I like the idea of your spyderGT. That may be an option. I've never owned a 914 Spyder. I wish I had the ability and/or the $ to build a Spyder similar to the Brumos car on my avatar. What a sweet ride.
Maybe a 914 Spyder GT in Jagermesiter livery?
