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......

That did it. Since the lower frame is flush with the bottom pan of the car. I can bolt on a plate along the bottom and it totally fixed the flex. The flex now is 0.1" as opposed to 0.7"! I like the way you think. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) The bottom plate will also blend into a rear diffuser. I am planning on exiting my exhaust above the rear bumper line.
 With regard to weight it will add about 150 lbs. However, the front and rear hood, and the front and rear bumpers will be fiberglass. I'm going with about 600 HP (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) so the extra weight will not be a distraction. |

QUOTE(Curbandgutter @ Jun 24 2016, 12:52 PM)  That did it. Since the lower frame is flush with the bottom pan of the car. I can bolt on a plate along the bottom and it totally fixed the flex. The flex now is 0.1" as opposed to 0.7"! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Fantastic! Easy fix! My guess is that you will retain nearly all of the added rigidity even if you have to cut some holes in it for access to things like oil filters, etc. The weight doesn't seem bad at all, especially considering that you are cutting out existing structure and using some glass parts. Is this design using different diameter/wall thickness tubing? |
