Got some more work done on the limo today. We halted progress on the body and started focusing on making the thing move under its own power. No sense in getting the body perfect, if it doesn't drive well.

So we did some brainstorming, ate some pizza, and then extended the clutch tube and throttle tube. We used the tube from our parts car, so it's a perfect size match. We then clamped a section of sheet metal around the junction and brazed the whole thing together. This'll be plenty strong.

Now we just need to order custom length cables from Terry Cable and we can check these two off our list.

Next Weekend - Dec 5.

We will be finishing up some welding/fabrication in the rear center tunnel. But we could really use some help pulling the motor and trans out of the parts car. We need this transmission to test fit the motor and finish fabricating a few more pieces. We could use 2 or 3 people for this.

For a tranz, do you suppose a box with 4 short gears and one tall/stock 5th for freeway would be desirable? Let me know if you want me to do up a box for this (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Some help with that would be cool ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

If you decide on a color you could jamb the engine bay an then you wouldn't need to pull the engine later when it comes time to paint the car. Just an idea'er.

We thought about that. But there's still lots of work to do back there. The hell hole needs attention for one.

At this point, we want to concentrate on getting it running first. Yes, we'll have to pull everything again for the final metal work and paint.
But at least at that point we know all the basics work as intended.

Plus, we're getting tired of pushing it around the parking lot ...

It's alive!!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

Well, sorta. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)


Today was pretty productive. Lennie stopped by to help, so we got a lot done.

We cut the parts car in half and removed the engine and transmission. We'll be using the transmission in the limo.

We then hooked up the extended wiring harness, added the gauges and tail lights, threw in a battery and voila!
No smoke. No blown fuses.
Taillights came on as did the headlights and dash lights. The blinker relay was clicking but no blinkers. Probably a ground issue.

Mike,

Im planning on doing a trailer build, however probably wont get to it for a while... I'd be more than happy to help and have some idea's myself to making it work the best. Besides this looks like a way better chassis than what I have in my backyard...

I think I didn't see this pic in any of the 28 pages of this thread.
I couldn't find too much info on this or any other pics, but it is indeed a 914 limo, looks like adriatic blue. For your inspiration (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) :
