Yes, rear hood too.
Attached another pic....... my pics can go only one at a time.
Front hood hinge detail

You lucky duck to have gotten them at a swap 10 years ago. Aase Sales has the pair for $3895.00 and they look exactly like yours.

@lucky9146 Getty design sells them $899 ea front and rear in white gelcoat with the balsa enforcement
http://www.gettydesign.com/914tailbases/914coachwork/

That front hood looks more like the Getty one than the Aase one.
Getty is about half the price of Aase.

I love the details like this, especially when they look so uniform and precise.

Fiberglass never fits like the oem steel no matter who it's from. We have good luck with the new aluminum 911 long hoods because they hold their shape better when closed. The glass ones are always too springy to lay right. There's not one piece of fiberglass made - at any price- that will fit right out of the box.

Gary made them himself...

Do you mean Gary Wigglesworth (RIP) ?
His business is still operating.
Someone there would probably know.

Wow!! If they look 1/2 as good in person as they do in the pics!!!

Yes they would know

Hi Rory,

The 914 is looking good. Keep up the great work and post the progress pics.

Here's a few pics of your 914 from 2006.
It defiantly has come along nicely.

It's now on the ground with the refinished wheels and new tires.
Beautiful job on the wheels by Rick at Fuchs Restoration Service.
Done on time ...no delay...no BS
Project still going strong but way too slow.
Bled the brakes today too.
Engine install in the near future but chunks of time are out of my control this time of the year between family and weather.

Wow, that looks fantastic. I sure do like the GT's in white.

Any issues when you bled the brakes?
I'm ready to start doing that on my project as well....
Your car looks great.
Mine is kind of a narrow body version of this.

No problem with the bleeding.
Three laps around the car starting with the right rear.
Rear clearance is adjusted.
The pedal is still a bit soft but everything is new and driving will make the usual
improvement. I'll certainly bleed it again.
I need a source for the clear overflow tubing at the brake reservoir.
The tubing I've found is too fat to fit into the clips on the rim.

Generally they will firm up some after the pads are bed into the rotors.

Your car is looking really awesome. I certainly can appreciate all the time and work you are going through to finish this project. It is a real commitment but very satisfying once you get it done.

Nice and clean!!

Rory, you are making me like white. Looking great. What size tires?

Hey Mark
The wheels are 16" x 7" and 8" Fuchs
The tires are 205/55 front and 225/50 rears Dunlop Direzza DZ102
The white ?
I didn't want the color to 'shout'

Still can get noticed.

Thank you Mark
Another reason for the choice is that from about the 906 on, factory
race and GT cars were most often delivered in white....not to say this is a race car by any means. I just like the look.

another.
Vintage Scheel /Mann sport seats

Lots of win in these pics...I also dig the white ! Going to take baby steps when putting the livery (wrap) over our GP white car, as I need to see more white than logo

That's a new expression to me "Lots of win".....pretty cool.
Since you mention it I've been thinking of accent possibilities .
Maybe black doors with a big gold star on them, red and blue light bar with a
siren on the roof ? Canyon Patrol Police ? Naaah.

Finished the carbs this AM and dropped them on the manifolds.
Will install and start pretty soon.

Exciting!

Car looks even better in person.

Sooooo, what motor is that?

Charlie

Ps, car looks great!

It's an alum. '68 2 liter rebuilt years ago in California and never started.
Need to evaluate it and possibly sell it.
Next comes a carbed 3.0 and a Bott conversion 916 trans.

Say Ahhh !
In she goes.

2 liter can of wasps,,,.I have one ...fun...lazy drivers have long stroke motors....depends on you..how you want row the boat..that being said ...I love 2.4s

How are you planning to secure the trunk lids or are you just relying on the latch (which I think will not be enough). I’ve got GRP lids and haven’t fitted yet as I don’t like the look of the racing metal split pin tie downs.

just noticed that you got your car back from pain last summer about the same time I did but you had way more work to do to get it on the road and running, good to see it might finally have power!! we started re-assembly about the same time. I hope you are able to bring that to Okteenerfest this year!, I have heard rumors that it will be up closer to you guys from the north this time around. Anyway beautiful car!

The rear lid is no problem.
Both lids work very well with the stock latches. I'm not running the torsion bars in the rear or the coils up front. The gaps are pretty good.
In the front it is important to have a working safety latch and to have the leading edge of the lid even with or slightly below the trailing edge of the bumper top.
I'm not too concerned. I have heard of an incident on a Signal orange car.
I'm not thrilled with drilling holes in the lids for pins. At one point I was going with
hood pins and an outside filler cap but for now both are off the table.

Octoberfest is on the radar.
Closer is better.
Thank you for the compliment, I try to do something every day.

Agreed at the rear, interesting point about the front. I guess the air pressure will always force it down, and provided the air doesn't get under it, should be ok. Would be interested to see how you get along with yours.

The weight of the decal will surely keep the hood down.

Yes, according to my calculations you are correct.

Looking awesome Rory. Will you have it at Hershey?

I'll be there Dave.
Progress is pretty good but still plenty to do.

I'm really enjoying watching the progress. That engine is just beautiful. There is something about the look of a carbureted flat six. Just wonderful.

Looking good there Rory... Looks like I'll have to take a trip this summer and come see it in person.

Thanks Luke
IT's ALIVE !!!!!
I STARTED THE ENGINE TODAY !
The engine has been in for a while but finally today all the elements
come together and I turned the key.
I had lubed the cylinders and cranked it by hand without plugs (the rebuilt
engine has been stored for ten plus years) I then cranked it by starter
until it had oil pressure. Installed the plugs.
Because there were leaks at the carbs I un-plugged the fuel pump and cranked it.
Like it had been running forever it just started and idled !!!
I shut it off. It runs so quiet !
A great milestone. I'm happy.
Now to solve this leak issue.

Congrats Now grab a cold one and reflect.

Congrats Pal!!!

Thank you all.
When I first ran the fuel pump there was a small leak under the tank.
Turned out to be a leaking NOS fuel filter ! that's a new one to me. Easy fix.
Next, big leaks at the carb inlet banjos and float valve caps.
Again, NOS, OEM parts leaking. After many attempts to make them swell with Marvel
Mystery Oil , gasoline, and patience .....still leaking. WTF ?
OK, select other seals from the Weber box and.....still leaking...but slowing down too.
And finally stopped.
Now it was possible to run it on more than the the contents of the float bowls.
It's so quiet ! stock muffler for now.
Fumigated the whole neighborhood just in time for the worthless football game.
Adjusted the timing, a few laps around the carbs with the syncro meter and
Voila ! Easiest start up in memory.
I then drove it around the street and backed into the driveway just as the loose
shift adjustment said 'enough'
What a great day !!!!!
