Those were pork cuts, not beef cuts.

NICE pictures!
I am digging the Martini car quite a bit... Particularly the stripes...

The Mazda Lemans race car is one of my favorites. INcorporates green into the design. Unfortunately I can't post photos on this PC.

Decal hp should come in handy with a 914. (Hey, if I had more space I'd probably have one, too.)

If it's going to be a race or track car--or if you think it might get banged up --you might consider that in making your color choices. I suspect the solid, non-metallics are easier on the repair budget.

I'm a bigger fan of the clean look, with original insignia only, no matter how bright the paint color might be. I say let the lines of the car speak for themselves. Those that know the car will appreciate it without all the advertising pasted on.

Just my opinion, of course. Freedom of expression extends to colors and graphics.
Then Porsche must have had brand insecurity with the car too. Every porsche I have ever wanted has a Porsche hood crest. The 914 is a porsche and I put a hood crest on mine (when I had it). The stickers and such I can do without on any porsche, but that is just my opinion.
