into the realm of a full custom Some details to be determined..without the 3"stretch.Navy Targa Vinyl. I recall one of the early "models in clay" sported headlamps of similar shape. Mid mounted coolers do two things,eliminate long lines and retain a centralized cg. Not really 914+944,or change for changes sake,more like what if? In '67 a pencil and plasticine was used. |

While you are designing , why not spring for some cool 911 headlight treatments , maybe some of the MB headlight setups to the turn signal locations ??? Do away with the flip ups , relocate the turn signals to another location ??? I've always wanted to install 911 headlights in that spot , just have to do some creative fab work , but with thesee fender widening on these pics it would be very doable , but however it's your project not mine , good luck to ya !!!

Yeah,the amount of time to make the changes to the shapes of the curves has been reduced electronically.To bang metal requires the traditional amount. I've considered a number of headlamp designs,and really like the clearlense 914 HID look a member here has done.(edit:05/03/15 neo914-6) As I go further,I am becoming more inclined toward a Boxster trioval shape.I agree the flip-ups now look more redundant. A work in progress,although the raised trunk-line does it for me,transforming the 914's simple splinecurves into an aggressive look that appeals with the massive airscoops. The GIMP software allows fast work in concept visualization. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GIMP http://www.gimp.org/downloads/ / |
