Opinions on this...........

Friend of mine had this specially made.Over 2k worth, with proper Cibies.Personal circumstances have stalled his build permanently.Copy of example used on 60s Sunoco car, I believe in Le Mans.
Question is use in Hot Rod build or not.Cmon guys let me have your views....

It looks funny sitting like that. I would have to see it on a car to offer an opinion.

Yeah, my first thought was "Corvair?" Or maybe first gen Econoline. LOL!

Without the front oil cooler provision, the lights do look “bug-eyed.” Mount it up to get a better idea.

ive Seen that on a 718rs , and similar on a 356 .
But the only 911s I’ve seen like that where the Kramer slant cars etc
IMHO it would not work on its own , but with a set of hood lamps .
Or maybe 2 sets , or one set + grill-lamps it could work as a “night-racer” or rally night stage look .

2k that wouldn’t last a year with the amount of stone chips I pick up

I think someone had been drinking too much when he designed that.

Looks nothing like the Sunoco RSR.

Wide set eyes can be very pretty,

Like the Sunoco RSR


The valance above belongs in the nice try category



Maybe some pics of it installed may change my mind.
