Hey Dave! She's ready...

Our neighbor to the North commissioned us to build him a killer 2.7 PMO, M471 themed "Monster". I think we reached our objectives.

Dave brought us a very nice 1974 Alaska Blue Metallic slab sided 914. We pumped a little testosterone into it's flanks and this is what happened. Alaska Blue is such a sophisticatedly stunning color when done right.

She rides right. She sits right. She is right.

French treatment to the fogs and a proper oil cooler top off the front end treatment.

Who would have known testosterone would create such sexy hips.

Rumored to have seen speeds in excess of 130mph (on a closed race course with a professional driver) with more to spare, this 2.7 PMO power plant makes perfect power for this chassis.

The GT engine lid coupled with the low pressure flaps and the front cooler and you have yourself a steady 180 degree runner.

Konigs will keep Dave and passenger safely seated where they need be.

Very nice work Mr. Shea!
I love that blue

Dat Butt hawt.
Dont like the steering wheel though.

That is one beautiful 914. Very sharp. Well done guys.

Beautiful workmanship and color.

Tom

Very nice, gonna turn heads for sure

Stunning - well done! I hope to see it at an event soon.

Deeeelicious!

Drive it like ya stole it!

Woweeee is that ever beautiful.

One question . . . with all the detail, why did you leave the cooling shroud funky green?

Looks fantastic Eric! Congratulations Dave!

Tony

I actually like the green or "E" fan shroud.
The US 2.7 Carreras and S had it as well.

Only an amber shroud could have been better in my opinion.

Wow, that's a stunner. I'd be so proud if that were my car!

Well done.

Wow!

Fantastic work Eric & crew. She's beautiful. Dave has a gorgeous 14 to go with his 11. Can't wait to see it on the road. Probably not for a couple of weeks while winter withers away...

Cool buggy! Nice work!


What's the white stuff on the ground????

Very nice. Makes me want to rethink flares.

But then I think of Rich.

Beautiful car. Hoping to see a video of it on the road soon

That.s funny


Nice car...

Nice work Eric.

Beautiful car. What would a set of Konigs cost? Do they mount to the stock seat rails? My wife liked those seats. She remembers driving our last Six and having no support as she flew around turns.....Great, now I need to check into seats.

Too nice to drive? Nice job Eric.

I don't mind that wheel although you put it on crooked.

Very Nice!

Don't like the Dark Tint on the Windows though

absolutely stunning, I thing next to my copper metallic that is my favorite color !!!
= people can nit pick such things as fan shroud or steering wheel , but its just because we are jealous !!! BTW why would do such awesome perfect work on the outside, and not replace the carpet on the inside?? - -just kidding

thanks for sharing, its inspiration for our Build-off challenge cars as well. Great work, Eric!!

Curious, how many cars a year are you set to be able to work on in you current facility?

Not sure on the current going rate, but they do fit on stock rails and the headrest and backs fit perfectly into the backpad.

They are a snug seat, I probably fit better in mine now that I no longer work out (smaller lats)

Absolutely beautiful car, very nice work.

Beautiful, You may want to seal up the MSD ignition, i had water get into mine through the aluminum back cover seam after i washed the car this summer, i ended up having to buy a new one.

It also could get pretty hot mounted there, also hard to get at the distributor, i have mine on the driver side firewall and i gets really hot to the point i am planning on moving it.

fantastic job

nicely done

Great looking car and great job! Could you give us the paint brand and any information on matching the original L96B code?

Reminds me of Gene Wilder in Young Frankenstein. Talking to Peter Boyle, the monster. "Why are they afraid of you? Because they are jealous!"

Beautiful build Eric , it would look great in the PMB tent at Renn6 next to yours
Marty

Nice work... Kind of looks familiar....

Looks great, good work Eric! The Alaska blue with the flares really works. Any pics of the build? Especially the front cooler. I really need to do a front cooler...

That is a beautiful signal orange build in the background!

Bought em used right here for 1200...Thanks for the kind words!

Must be the lighting, there is no tinting to the glass.

I love konigs, but my 32" ass wouldn't fit in them. Curious if they make them any wider now?

I have mine behind the Passenger seat.

US 2.7 came w/ green shroud. that's what it is, and I didn't see a reason to change it. Thanks!

Eric and Dave...what size wheels and tires were used on this build....very nice looking!

Very nice!

WOW

Very, very nice!

That is a beautiful looking car! Nice work Eric!

Thanks gang.

The wheels are 7 and 8x15's

Here is a ( not suppose to ask) question....how much did it all cost, And what did you start with,flares,no flares,..diffrant color,5 lug upgrade...Etc ????? Thanks..

Absolutely love the car. One of the nicest cars I've seen.

It does make me wonder with this beautiful upgrade somehow center caps on the Fuchs aren't in the budget. Unless this is just a race car or some period-correct look or not installed yet?
