Here are some pictures of my project. Estimated time of completion => unknown!
School starts in another month, and that will slow things down to a crawl. I'm hoping, realistically, that next summer she'll be on the road! Enjoy!
The link will take you to more photos.

Started your thread @ 9:14, huh
Looks like a fun project. Keep the pics coming.
Cool. Screw the carb, stick with FI !
Added video to first post.
Looks like a fun project. I would stick with FI as well. It's nice when it starts right up and you don't have to wait for the carbs to warm up.
Hey,

New pixs!
Washers sre from a Sentra... perfect fit!New struts in place.

Don't forget to comment (hopefully positive) on my YouTube page!
Nice! I've always liked the chalon kits when they were done well. Your looks to be in great shape. I hope you plan to bring it to WCR in June . Congrats on getting to drive it. Always a great feeling getting that first drive in after a long time of putting it together
LOL...love at the end of the video when the cars dies, whoever was filming let out a little "ha"...classic.
Congrats on getting it running!
Congrats...looks and sounds great.
The little "chuckle" at the end was priceless.
I was wondering if anybody was going to remark about the stall and the "ha" at the end of the video! I thank my 13 year old son for that great ending!
Never know where to put the pix and the videos.
I just added a new Magna Flow exahust system (muffler part number is 12468). It sounds really good!

I have magnaflows on my car and it sounds pretty good as well. Love magnaflows.
Congrats! You'll love them.

PS, the exhaust leak is fixed...
Looks and sounds good, I just spent 2 weeks in Boise and Mtn Home what part are you in?
FI would be nice but unless you have a money tree in the back yard ...... I was fighting my Edlebrock 600 cfm for a long time. Plus with the metering rods and jet combo its a pain in the ass. I found a new in the box old school Holley 650 double pumper on Amazon for $289+ tax and shipping. Put that baby on fired right up, set the fuel air and she's running better than ever.
Let me where in ID you are, I have to go back to Twin falls, Pocotello, and Chubbuck (sp) in late sept.
Hope to see you at the WCR

Nice Tony. Exhaust sounds fantastic.
Hey....I know that car! I know you've put a lot of time and effort in getting your ride on the road, and you deserve a big congrats. BTW are you done with school yet? Remine me not to race you....at least not in my teener, maybe the wife's GT. O.K. let's get together to see those cars.

I was just looking at your build thread and question the airflow from the front. Have you tried removing the front license plate? If that helps you may also open up some of the fiberglass on the bottom of your bumper and see if that helps with more airflow. If I remember the front of the Chalon kit was formed from a 74 on front 911bumper and a turbo bottom valance rubber trim.
Not sure that you showed us the amount of metal removed on the factory 914 nose.
It seams that you need flow based on in flow through the front and out flow through the fenders, see what the sq. inches of cut outs you have leaving and SQ inches of cut outs for inflow. Somewhere there is back pleasure where it is not flowing. I do not think opening up more holes in the fenders will help you.

I just spent last week in Boise. I didn't know that there were any teeners in town.
Nice Chalon. My son and I are building one. Maybe he'll drive it up to Boise one summer. He works summers on our cousins cattle ranch in the south west corner of ID.
