Just another Factory 6 being fixed up Options

Well it's gotten to be that time finally. I've been collecting parts to do the repair on my 914-6 and now the work starts. The main issue is the hell hole/inner engine long, inner pass long, pass inner rocker panels are rusted out. The last part I was trying to source seams to be NLA. I sourced most of the parts from the good guys at Restoration Design. I received my order today for the last batch of things. Based on a few threads that I've looked over the outer shell to the inner engine long is currently not being made by RD. A few guys have made their own which looks like a real pain in the rear to do. I laid out all the new metal to see how things lined up. By the looks of things it will need some fine tuning to mate things properly. Before I start cutting into the chassis I'll build a few braces to keep things true.

Time for the pics...

With this covid thing going around it has set my project back. I had plans to have the chassis blasted and epoxy primed before I started cutting into it. The blaster emailed me and said per rules under the NY PAUSE act that my project is not essential and he couldn't do it until the state relaxed the rules. So now it's a waiting game there. I can do a few other things on the chassis before it goes. Got the new to me 3.2 in and started working on that. Apart she comes. Going with a 3.4 Mahle MS p/c's while doing the rebuild. Also in the works is a late model 3.2 915 with a Bott 916 shift kit. Stay tuned kids as I'll be working away when I can.

Be safe out there... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
