While working of my POS this weekend a little I decided to POR15 putty the holes and flaws and throw some paint on it till it returns to the earth as dust. Not being one to keep a low profile (I wear Hawaiian shirts most days at work) I want a '70s style paint scheme. Got any pics or descriptions?
Right now I'm thinking going back to the original yellow and running some browns as a stripe up the side and across the rear trunk. Maybe I'll even do a mural on the rear trunk too. I'm thinking of replicating the Meatloaf album cover or a sailboat/ ocean right now. Ideas welcome! |

Thought it was Canadian at first but they have the Maple Leaf in the middle. Attached image(s) |

I like the Canam prototypes ... Pictures from Jeff's website (IMG:http://members.rennlist.com/914_canam/zPrototype3.JPG) This is one of the car's that I've been studying. Being that I'm now missing one and vinyl cover on my sails, I may do a worth stonegueard and brown paint to go with the yellow car. |

On that car the purple is paint and the green & white are decals. It looks great in person too. It's the wildest 914 racecar I've ever seen. |
