Too funny about the time! Truly a good omen

Oh dear...

My 185/70s days may be numbered. Always did like the way my car drove on 205/55...

i have 205/55-16, so the 205/55-15 a bit smaller than stock yes?

I believe so. Not sure how much smaller. I would have preferred to stay with a stock height tire- it's just very hard to find a decent tire for 15"x7" wheels.

For what you paid and your limited choices, it all looks good. If the "perfect" tire becomes available, find a set of cookies for these tires. Never hurts to have a second set of wheels.

In DOT summer tires thread wear 200 , 15's have a really good tire selection , much better that 16's....I get reasonable wear out of them , with track like traction...reasonable is subjective of course....

Progress

Goodnight

When I grow up, I am sending my 914 to Andy.

Nice work...

wow! 3 of Kent’s metal workmanship! Andy’s, Jim’s and Mike’s!
And for detailed and beautiful parts and assembly, Jim and Andy are the best with some help from other local members!

Kent, another outstanding job. Michael, I’m glad luck and good fortune has finally come your way. The boys will have it together in no time. I’ll check up on them from time to time and keep them working...

OMG! That is just crazy! You guys are rolling right along. I can't wait until I see it on Saturday. Seeing all the stuff go on is amazing. I especially like the vinyl on the back heated glass. The oil cooler lines, headlight motors, taillights, rear bumper, all look great.

trying to figure, whats the next 914-6 color

Not enough Aubergine or very dark blue cars out there…

As part of my 914-6 advertising history web site, I have collected photos of a large number of 914/6s. A few years ago, I did some surveys of those photos. At the following link there is a small analysis of the distribution of colors.

There are also other analysis of things like how many cars have fender flares and how many are street cars vs track prepared cars and a guess as to how many might be left.

^ Thanks for the link! Would have not guessed red would be that popular on the six, or that it was more popular than orange....or that white was more common than orange, or that green was quite so rare.

And then there's the rest of the info…

Just an update photo:

looking great!!!!

what did you use for adhesive for the sail panel trim?

Just Beautiful! Great job!

Very Sweet!

I have USA rear lenses, but after seeing Jim's Euro lens on the rear, I will need a set of Euros. They look great with the dark color. If anyone has a cherry set of Euros and they want to trade for a cherry set of USA rears, hit me up.

I hope you can tell, but the paint..... it looks like you can put your hand a foot deep into it. Kent's work is crazy perfect.

I have a set of the aftermarket Sierra Madre Euro lenses, never been mounted, still in the original shipping box. So not NOS Hella but very very nice.
LMK of interested

I remember the Sunflower Yellow paint on my new '73......so deep I felt like I could walk right into the door.

The virtually distortion free reflection of the clocks on the rear trunk lid tell the story...beautiful!

Went down to see Jim, Andy and Kent. Words fail me...... my car looks better than I could have ever imagined. Kent is the Man when it comes to all things body and paint.
