FAT CHANCE Project 'Hippie'- your opinions sought.

Hi Guys and Gals

Just finished the design on my latest project.

Inspiration came from one of my all time favourite race cars. In 1970 Martini Porsche entered Le Mans with a longtail 917, driven to second place by Gijs Van Lennep and Gerard Larrouse. It caused a storm when it was unveiled and divided opinion. Forever known as 'The Hippie Car' it is now one of the worlds most valuable race cars.

Here it is.......



I have taken the colour scheme and applied it to a recently aquired 1990 Wicked FAT and now need to seek the opinions of the style gurus of RB. The Martini car has always been a love or hate thing, but what do you think of my rendition on a bike frame??

Sorry about the poor quality pics, they are taken on my phone.







Cheers

Really like it!

Groooooooooovy!

like it Si,.!

ps: it's Gijs van Lennep, not Gis, atleast the time i spoke him it was still Gijs

Very, very nice.

Tell you what - that would look ace on a Trimble

legendary that is very cool

Very nice :shock: matching forks too?
not too sure about the martini logo, but it's part of the style.......

as a replica it doesnt follow the lines as well as the car , but for what it is on tubing its nice , if a little camo

could do with being more glossy and gray wheels and red seat of course

Yes, I have a pair of Groovy Cycleworks Ho-Down forks to paint up to match.

I think the green patches are too big compared to the ones on the car .
