project idea.
 

anyone ever build a speedster windshielded coupe?

You mean a coupe with a chopped top, for less frontal area? I've seen it done.

got any pics?

then if you rolled the bumpers in it'd really bring out the 356 heritage lines....

Re: project idea.
 

I would think that it would start to look a like the GT-1.

Indeed...the factory used just such a windshield to come up with the one used on the GT1.....

my point...

so how cool would that be?

sjd

so where can we find some pics of hardtops with speedster front windows????

Here's a speedster 993 racecar

see...that's so totally cool....

off to envision and not get any work done.

It would be a really good thing to do and save a otherwise good top damaged shell. I really like how it looks, gives a very menacing I am coming to get you look.

yep.

it wouldn't be too difficult..basically get a repro speedster windshield...get the rubber surround for a 911, then remake the metal surround for the old 911 coupe top....all while lowering the roofline..

it'd be very 356 looking when done.

also its good to see another SE porsche guy out there

The last pic is add on hard top I assume. A chopped coupe would look different....maybe cooler? Anyone good at Photo-Chop? :D

there's a chopped 912 pic out there somewhere...

Hope this picture takes, pretty cool, Kevinhttp://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1100288781.jpg

down around the milledgeville/macon area

I had the only functioning 911 in the county awhile back but now its brokken :(

The chopped 912 is very cool.

Yea, that 912 is nice, although it suffers a bit from the 996 humpback look. I like it just the same.:)

the 912 rear window needed to be a bit more flush at the top, but it does look sweet

That's Davis' car. It not only looks good, but it hauls ass as well. Consistent front runner in POC and polesitter at this year's Tribute to LeMans at California Speedway.
