Trying to find motivation to keep her going and use her before I run out of time. I moved her to the workshop yesterday and today I put her transmission back in her. Need to change the gas tanks out as she has a 6 gallon tank in her now and I have a nice little 1.5 gallon tank for her. Only good for about 5 minutes of run time.
I backdated the picture because she looks totally deferent now. So I guess I should do that more often.  This picture is by Carl La Fong, sorry if I miss spelled it Carl. She has Carerror script on her side. At that time I had just decided to make her my race car. While driving the freeways of LA dressed in that livery she was passed in her lane by 911's 3 times. No one takes the time to read Carerror they only see Carrera. |

Maybe I should have done a swan's neck like when it's feeding off the bottom of a shallow lake. I once saw a big cardboard splitter on the front of a 914 that got me thinking. Now I'm thinking too much. The bracket for the swan's neck would have to be thick enough to pick up the front of the car. Has anyone ever seen a foil and splitter? I'm a fucken fuel fool fucken with front foils.

The side mounts like you're mocking up are probably your best bet. Make them a little bigger - a taller end plate will keep the air from spilling over the sides.
Cool project! |
