many thanks to Dan Root for welding on the flares, and ScottyB for coaching me through the body and paint work.
here are a few of the finished pics of Harlot

one more
for the record Pat...i stripped the anodizing off these eights with oven cleaner
and polished the lips, and painted them this awful blue....all by myself

that's one sexy harlot!

Car looks sweet! Well I can't say I like the blue on the fuchs myself. Are you keeping them blue? The fuchs look very nice I just don't think it's great with the orange. Still overall looks sweet man. Wish I had flares on mine. Maybe my problem is my Orange looks close to yours & I'm partial to the black fuchs I have with the polished lips

Seriously sweet ride man

yup the blue is here to stay, i can't capture the depth of the blue with the camera

NICE !!!
the blue is cool and the license plate ," ya I have a front plate officer"

Very nice. I like the black bumpers that's what I'm doing on mine. Enjoy your harlot !

Looking good !!!

Looks great

Now enjoy it!

I really like how black bumpers look on red cars. Well done on the car...quite a looker.

PS Where are your wheel caps...just kidding. I bet your car looks great in person.

Looks awesome Steve! Great job.

Looks great! You can get a short rear valance from MSDS that will match up with the flares if you want - I bought one for my flared car and it reallly does a nice job of finishing off the look.

In Illinois, if the car is registered as an antique vehicle (over 25 years old), you don't have to run a front plate, but can instead use a "period correct" front plate as long as you have the original state plate in the car. So, I got a European style front plate that fits beautifully above the oil cooler opening on the front bumper.

The car is nicely done, you should be proud of your creation. Enjoy it in good health!

I assume everything turned out O.K. then

Congratulations !!

Very nice. Maybe some of the PNW guys will get to see it sometime.

Nice! Great name. Not too thrilled about the blue, but all my taste is in my mouth, so what do I know. Enjoy!

almost all of it turned out good, except one run where i cut through with the buffer, the rear quarter shot shown is the worst of them all.

Looks good, but either needs vinyl sail panels or something since that chrome strip looks lost in all that red, nice car.

Great job Pete!

The front end with the valance & bumper cut-out looks super!

You work alot faster than I do, I'm many years away from this type of post.

Spring is here , lot's of upcoming Teener Tuesdays, I hope to see her soon.

So nice and I like the trim on the sail panels without the vinyl. I'm also liking the blue wheels. Its so original. Sure hope to see it in person someday.

Is that a mag blue?


In the import tuner world, that style is getting popular (yellow fog lights, mag blue rims, etc) (BTW, don't worry, the mag blue is on expensive rims (Volks, etc), for clean car.)


it looks clean though.... Great job!!

the fogs came from AA a long time ago
and the blue, is a match to a flashy bike frame i own....
i thought it would accent the red, and think it looks better then yellow centers

here is how she used to look

Very nice job.

This 914 looks awesome. More pictures ! ...

Looks great

very nice...enjoy

Good for you.....

good work steve. lots-o-changes since our trip to whistler.

Yellow wheels are faster than blue wheels. You must be trying to fly under the radar with the local LEOs.

Flares look great Steve.

Steve,

Way to go. Your car looks great!

Are those wheels 8" front and rear? If so what size tires are you using and how heavy is the steering effort?

Looks amazing Steve I like the blue wheels. Something different. Can't wait to see it

what color is that?

Looks great! Enjoy.

Looks great.

they are 16x 7s with 225s and no noticable difference steering, i would have liked to put eights up front

Very nice, Steve!!!

the blue is a rendition of a PPG Hot Wheels blue
i mixed some extra silver in, and just added clear to a bit of the mix for the top coats....you could call it "Harlot blue"

Damn nice looking job! I"m sure you are proud that wide body! Drive it hard and enjoy the hell out of it!!!!!!!

Looks good! I hope to see it around. Are you planning on attending any local shows with the car? I'm planning on getting mine to the Great Canadian in august, would be fun to see another 914 at the mission drags.

i hope to have the weekend off for the show, have the dates been set yet?
no draggin this car, its a road car

Very Nice. I like the one-off personal touchs (Blue Wheels, No Sail Vinyl, painted roof, black bumpers) It's your car, do it the way you want - you will enjoy it more.
