do you have any side view renderings or rear iso to get a better idea of what that 2nd gen roof line looks like on it? Going with the "fastback" shape on the 69 is definitely thinking outside of the box.
edit - I just noticed the box next to the pic - I overlooked it/didn't see it 'til I went back after my post but I can see the roofline just fine there.

Love the 914!
First favorite car I ever had. I think I was about 8 y.o. at the time. I caught the bug early.
I think the subtle line changes will make working with the wind a bit easier. I really want to study and play around with that aspect of this car.
I want to get it to work first. If it also looks cool, all the better.
Same with the wheels. In testing if it needs more rake, and I can't get what I need out of the suspension adjustments, I can always put a taller wheel/tire combination on it.
Plus, by being able to lower the car easily, I think working with a smaller Diameter Wheel/Tire combination is a no brainer.
Thanks for writing,
