(Sep/2011) We just started the modification of a NOS factory original 914-6 GT rear trunk lid https://pbase.com/9146gt/image/22321288 so that when it is closed, it will clear the two reinforcement tubes https://pbase.com/9146gt/image/138304821 that attach from the roll-bar hoop to the rear suspension shock towers.

When completed, this will be without question, the world's most expensive factory 914-6 GT Rear Trunk Lid in existence. In this photo gallery, not only will you probably learn a thing or two about fabrication and molds https://pbase.com/9146gt/image/138485330, but you'll be able to see the entire photo-sequence of its creation.

Since the Strahle 914-6 GT appears to have used a stock 914 steel rear trunk lid https://pbase.com/9146gt/image/133583919 instead of a factory GT fiberglas/balsa wood reinforced trunk lid, we chose to more closely follow Simon Bowrey's 914-6 GT factory built race car. To see how Simon's GT was modified prior to the 1971 Monza race, you can follow this link https://pbase.com/9146gt/the9146gt_3point_rollbar_71monza_seiller_lid_trunk

Please note that I have yet to include comments, notes under most of these photos. As this part of my GT project nears completion, I hope to find time to enter those pertinent remarks. I hope you'll enjoy this gallery as much as I have shooting these photos. Only on pBase! https://pbase.com/9146gt/image/138506847
