The 914 race car arrived today, the 904 body is half built, but should be here soon. Very exciting!

A friend of mine in Canada took a mold off an original body, so he is making one for me.
Since I sold Da Spoodster I have been very excited about this one, you have to keep the mind occupied! Attached thumbnail(s) ![]() |

Not sure the fuel cell is big enough (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
Looks like a great project. |

What are you doing with that old body?
I happen to have a chassis that might look really nice with that body on it... |

You do realize this is Dave Bottom's old IMSA race car?
This was also a Garretson track car ![]() |

I love the 904. Its a gorgeous car.
But I love the 914 too and that starting point looks like a great car already. This is a tough thread. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) |

This was also a Garretson track car ![]() The race history is one of the reason's I bought the car, it has real race provenance, so when I put a checkered flag on the side of the 904 and take it on the track, it's because it was a winner, long before I had it. But I did not know about the IMSA history when I bought it, just that it had won some races in the Midwest. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) I love the 914 too, and sorely miss my 914/6 I sold about 10 years ago to free up money to buy my 60 356 Roadster, now real sixes are insane!!! But I also have a special place in my heart for the 904, and since I can never every afford one I'm taking a page from the Ferry playbook. "I looked around and could not find quite the car I dreamed of, so I decided to build it myself." |

I was a Metal Craft customer and friend. I know Bob Zulkowski and Troy Powell. They worked on 2 of my cars. I really got my love of Sixes from both of their Sixes.

Cool project. I've always wondered how much 904 got carried on to the 914.
If the info I found is correct, the track is very close but the 914's wheelbase is 150mm longer. How will that work out on the 904 body? |
