Well the dream begins. I'm embarking on the building of a 914 project. Here is the candidate. Bought a roller from LA area. Looks like its not going to be too much rust. Firsts thing will be to strip it. Taking front fenders and rear quarters off. Then sending to Cal Blast for media blasting. I look forward to the knowledge that I can gain from fellow enthusiasts. Plan on taking a lot of pics Stay tuned......

Are you going to model the suspension?
If so check out GrabCAD, I got the CV joints and center section from there (I modeled the rest)   |

QUOTE(Curbandgutter @ Jun 22 2016, 05:18 PM) The next item on the list is to build the frame table and to mount the 996 to get all of the suspension pick up points tabulated. Then mount the 914 to start building the chassis with the same suspension pick up points built in. I'll be using a plumb bop and a laser meter to measure and square every thing. It's finally coming together. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) Hoping it is built with I beams and 1/2" plate, so you can weld to it. In reality the I beams are fine, you should make the plate float on individual sections. So you can level the plate separate of the frame. So it looks kinda like this on a much larger scale.  Not mine but highly admired from the Garage Journal Forum. |
