Could make it out of whatever the person wants I guess. I would rather just have carbon.
Ya, $4,500.00 is ridiculous!

Might be more cost effective to just do like the other fella did, and fab one up using the 944 roof and not completely re-inventing the wheel or roof in this instance......
that way you don't have to change as much?? After doing a few, you could get the bugs worked out and become more streamlined.

Make a mock up and I'm sure any good sheetmetal shop could make one for you. Once you have a good unit I'm sure you could get as many as you need made. You will need some custom rubber parts to seal them up, But i know a guy. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I'd really like to see a 914 fastback. That would be tight as hell.

What would one expect to pay for a early 944 roof section and at what points would it need to be cut off at?

This is a terrible rendition of what one may look like

How would you get to the top of the engine or would it be in the road?

Fastback 914.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon8.gif) That's "Scari" as you can see here: http://www.scari.org/914.2-.html

Fastback looks good on a VW type 3, but it ruins a 914. Of course that's just my opinion and we are all entitled to our own. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I'd agree scari ruined that 914, but I think if you used a mustang style fastback top and left the rest of the car intact, i think it would look alright
