I like the back a lot, and it’s a cool idea, but the windishield is too steeply raked and too obviously more modern. I think with a shorter, more upright windishield, it would look excellent.

It looks like your forehead would be resting on the windshield frame.

It looks like one of those kit cars that is meant to imitate something old and expensive by using parts that are new and cheap. It just looks a bit off. Not the good kind of off either.

I like the idea, but gmctavish said, it looks too obviously modern. Building a vintage style one to modern specs would have been better...thinner a pillars and such.

The rear looks awesome :) the windscreen not so much. Agreed that it’s too steeply raked.

Take the whole thing off and just replace it with a little lip of perspex like an old-school speedster racecar and it’ll be excellent :)

There was a time when early 911s weren’t worth much, before the trendy lucky middle aged speculators jumped on board. This is from that time. That excuses this.

lol I like the idea.

I admit, it could have been executed in a better, more period correct way...

I like the angle, but the sharp corners kinda ruin it.
