UPDATE 04/2017:
The Limo Project has found a new home! http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=307809 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) Today work has begun on the 914World exclusive "914 Limousine" project! After years of tossing the idea around, McMark, RobW and i decided a few weeks back that it was time that someone actually build such a monstrosity. RobW had a bare shell with front end damage so all we needed was another donor to make the front of the Limo. I bought a '75 roller from Chris Hamilton and Rob and i went to pick it up this morning. Once at McMark's shop in Sonoma, we started stripping the car, built a second dolly to be able to roll the shell around and started to cut off the rear of the white car and the front of the red car. Both cuts are rough cuts at this point. Next weekend, we'll start with the more detailed cutting and test fitting. The final result will be a 4-door, 4 (maybe 5) seater with at least one removable top (maybe two) and all the usual bling one would find in a Limousine. The paint has yet to be determined but we are leaning towards a certain Porsche period correct 98 color.

The "B" Pillar should be narrow and instead of vinyl should be smoked glass. Make the rear door normal sized and use the fill panel between the doors as a space filler.
Try that. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) |

And yes, shockingly, we already have a plan on what it will look like. And we already have the babes to pose with it when it's done. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Andy |
