some fun - help me pick a paint scheme for the race car
 

So I don't see a way to create a poll; I guess just reply with a vote for one of them. If you don't particularly care for any of them, treat it like the Presidential election this year and vote for the lesser of evils :unibrow:

No flats. I have wanted to paint a race car flat black since the mid 80s or like a tank... by the time I was going to paint this car both had become so popular it was lame. So I went satin black... now THAT is getting lame, so I buffed it out with polishing compound to be not quite gloss, not quite satin and like it.

So, here I am deciding the paint scheme will be here longer than the fads. Heck, I will rock the same hair cut for 20yrs (no, NOT a mullet hahaha) so I figure go for what I like. I am torn between four from the full military look to two-tone with anything from Army green to olive drab with the satin black.

Whaddaya guys like??

my vote is on number 4.. 1 could be ok, but only with white numbers on the door to break up the black

#3:thumbsup:

interesting... another guy on a Porsche forum said he liked 2 since it was lighter and I could put door #s in the same color. You both now have me thinking about the future if I need to add numbers...

I'd have to say #2 its alittle brighter

i think #1 looks the best.

#2
Can you tell us a more about the 914?

Tonny

#1 :d

two post to come...

As for the 914, it is very little Porsche these days. The center "chunk" of a 914 was retained to hold the windshields, doors and roof in place. It is full tube chassis front to rear, 935 RSR front struts, custom 5-link rear IRS, 525HP/438TQ 11:1 353ci de-stroked 400 (steel 327 crank) with a Porsche 930 turbo transaxle running inverted (upside-down). Wheels are 16x10/16x11 Kodiaks with anodized black centers with GY 23.5x10.5x16 front/25.5x12x16 rear slicks. Stock dash (with Autometer gauges), doors, decklids and fully operation flip-up headlights and all street-legal (minus just being loud it meets vehicle code).

and...

thanks for the votes guys! I was leaning towards either 1 or 2, and it is funny, on 2 boards #2 is a definite win, and on 2 boards #1 is ahead :D Then a guy posted the stripe idea and now I am heavily leaning toward the darker color. I just dunno!! It's so hard to just lock one down :mad:
