Poor man's 944?

More like a poor man's Dodge Omni 024:

Which was a poor man's Plymouth Arrow:

Which was... no. Nothing was poorer than a Plymouth Arrow.

Seriously, that is a slick job. May I suggest a clear lexan spoiler, maybe 3" or 4" tall? You know, to prevent lift at 140 mph. You could rivet it directly to the back edge of the trunk lid.

When I first saw the finished product I thought 944.

When do you install the CEL VK? :lol:

BTW, no heat was used to shape the Lexan.

Sweet! What thickness Lexan did you use?

1/8" thick. I wouldn't say it bends 'easily', but with two people and a little leverage, it wasn't too difficult to work with.

Looks good! More Omni the Ferrari.

Don't let anybody run into the back of you, that square tubing will scuff your helmet.

Nice work with the lexan. I can tell pro did the work, he had lots of well used clecos!

Having done some fabrication work myself, I can appreciate how much time and effort went into that hatch. Looks like a beautifully executed design. I just hope it didn't take time away from other things like checking breather lines before your race.
