I dig Jim's use of sealed-marine type "Clear top Box" for some of his electronical connections on his 914.
The rest of the car is well thought out as well

I also vote for Jim if he hasn't won before. He should also get 914 lifetime achievement award.

another idea here since it so seldom actually do this
but why not feature cars that have been otherwise
recognized like regional or national awards or recognition?
example would be the winner of Werks Reunion or Okteenerfest car show voting,
things like that, or as some members recently were featured in one of the national magazines like Excellence or Panorama, etc.
Put a spot lite on those,

We have a new 914 headline our water cooled Facebook page every 3-4 months. I've always felt some folks put mucho work in these H20 conversions and deserve a little recognition within our community. It's good for the group moral and keeps the guys working on their conversions in hopes seeing their car displayed in the header one day. It's a shame COTM died here.

Sometimes votes can be carried by acclamation. I think this is one of those occasions. Deserving car and far more deserving driver.

I'd add my two bits for Jim's car.
He lives in the beach area...so yea..no mistaking his car. He drives to all the long gatherings.
I'd think his car would do great in the PCA "Non stock" category. It has some great adds and the workmanship is done with great attention to detail if you have ever seen his car in person.
Hope you are well Jim haven't seen you in a while.

You sound a little miffed.....same colour car however but the voting is based on member 914 world decision and second vote and not what the white glove guys say.
I vote Jims car also.

Jim did you build this your self or pay someone? That makes a big difference when it comes to the car of the month. Big difference between doing and paying.
The car does looks nice.

Looks like it's overwhelming that Jim's car should be car of the month. Now what is the next step in seeing this fulfilled?

Jim’s car gets my vote. The first time I saw Jim’s car I was amazed as I had torn mine apart into the rebuild of my own and began to realize what it takes. Looking at Jim’s car was like this first I noticed how sharp it was at a distance and taking a look you go from one point that caught your eye then another and another an so on. It’s perfect in every respect.
