Mike,
Here is my pm to Rob.
Hi Rob,
Not to many people making any glass panels for 914s anymore. If you can find the originals used in IMSA during the 70's and 80's you struck gold for period correct.
The decklid with whale tale was actually a factory steel deck with a tail grafted on in fiberglass. He had two versions he used. The spare deck was pretty beat up and I passed on it because it wasn't even worth the $150 they were asking. It was built for down force and not meant to be pretty. Up close it was pretty rough held together with rivets.
Thanks Jeff! Interesting info.
The molds I mentioned are the originals from back in the day. The molds are still around and still in decent shape.
The rear fenders will cover 10" rubber. More if you space the rear of the fender out a bit like Topper did. They are full fenders that go from the door all the way back and around the corner by the tail light, but they were cut a bit shorter in the pics above. They are "full depth" in that they include the rocker portion. The rocker part extends forward under the door about 8" (Again, check the pics of the Baker car).
The front is a one-piece clip that includes the fenders from the door forward and the bumper/air dam. The turn signal housings have the lens area molded in and there is no provision for installing functioning signals. The shape of the turn signal housings has also been "massaged" a bit so an actual lens wouldn't really fit. When installing the nose on a street legal car we cut off the molded in turn signals and bond the fenders to the existing steel.
As far as the rear deck that Topper made, the fiberglass repros are apparently still available from Rich Bontempi at High Performance House:
