So the nerdy Porsche 914 scores a date with the rockstar 918 Spyder and this happens...

Nice concept! Clearly a lot of work went in to getting you where you are. I absolutely love that front end work!

Thanks Cpt Tuttle!

Agreed afx!

Thanks MeatMan!

hah this is excellent and needs to be done! good luck

I like it. It's kind of shaping up the way the 914 may have, had it been continued to the present day.

Thanks Chuck Most!

First post of the new year.  Started working on the carbon fiber decals and brakes.

Looking good Fred,...Keep it going

Can't believe its been February since my last post!  Here's the latest on the build.  Most of the interior and engine are finished.  Body is painted and clear coated and in the process of being polished.  Shouldn't be more than another six months or so before this can get moved to the 'Under Glass' section...lol.

Nice to see some progress on this.

That paint really makes it pop .. the carbon fiber even more so! ... looks like you made the one week painting season up there.

Sleek little piece. So nice

Excellent build - 914's have always been a favorite of mine.  Disappointing there hasn't been a really good kit of one (kinda like the 289 Cobra).

Not to throw a monkey wrench at this point, but how about replacing the pop-ups with some clear-lens led projection beams?  I recall a build where the guy took a piece of clear acrylic cut in a wedge shape, drilled the back of the vertical wall to represent the "bulbs", then foiled the back.  If you can cut out the pop-ups without damaging the paint it might complete the new-meets-old theme.  Just an idea.

DJ...love this idea!  Unfortunately, I was close to completion when you posted.  I do have another 914 body that will be a future project and will be sure to incorporate your idea then.  Thanks!
