So...

I wanted to post this when the club site was up because this will be a progress thread (yes.... another one...)



I spent a bit of money and bought a bit of fiberglass and associated stuff.

(30 feet by 52in roll matt 4oz, 30 yard roll of 2in strip, a cubic yard of stretchable cloth, and a couple yards of the heavy stuff) and i'll buy 3 times that much if I need to.. its very reasonable..


So.. what am I going to do?

Im going to make a stock 951 bumper mold, and from that, i'll make a thin bumper that I will cut and reshape to fit the 914 perfectly. then from that, I'll make another mold for the final product.
A 951 turbo bumper that fits the 914..

Havent quite figured out price yet. Probably $250 when all is said and done.. and the mold is nice.. maybe less... Depending on how much work is involved...



But im also going to make a hood exhaust for the 914 for radiator cars... Should look very slick.. No big open hood.. Thats down the line, but it should be a fiberglass version...

and a stock fiberglass rear deck lid as well..

This is all assuming that everything goes like I think it will.

No mass production or what not.. Just 3 or 4.. maybe more if theres intrest...



What cha all think?

It seems to me that the long oval slots for the parking lights make the 914 headlight openings look small. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)
