Workshop Day at the Red Barn: Saturday, April 9, Get some work done or just hang out! Options

[tygaboy]

Hi World - It's been a minute since we last had a Red Barn Workshop so I figured it's time!
- Saturday, April 9, rain or shine

As you enter our lane and pass the first house, WATCH OUT FOR THE SPEED BUMP!!

914 World has done so much for me, this is my small way of trying to pay back this wonderful community.

Feel free to arrive any time after 7:00 AM. I'm OK going until 5:00 PM or so, longer if needed. I will PM my address and contact info to confirmed and tentative attendees.

I'm happy to help you with whatever I can. Maybe you need a part welded, maybe you have a custom bracket you'd like fabricated, maybe you're @Krieger and we can finally make your hood vent, Andy! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)

There are no $ charges for anything. My tools are you're tools. If you have a 2D part that I could draw up and cut on the plama table, this is your chance!
Need some welding done? (Be reasonable, please.) We can make it happen!

If you plan to use tools or make something, please PM me and let me know some details so I can be prepared. Particularly if you need any CAD work done. I'd like to have that ready to go when you get here.

Now, if you're just looking to hang with some like-minded folks and check out some cool cars, that's perfect, too. Come on over! And I'm betting there will be a sighting of Bill's Speedster!

There's a great BBQ place right around the corner so lunch is close - and delicious.

This was just a terrific day- I think the final count was 13 914's! Not bad for a little gathering at the Red Barn. Chris is a terrific host and I thank him as always for all he does. Robert stopped and grabbed a couple pies from Costco and that was well received.

Got to spend the day talking with people who all share the same passion and it was a blast.

All in, I think it was a 250 mile day for me and my car performed great. I love the new brakes and especially loved that with the correct heater lever in the car (floor) I was able to turn the heat off. That made the whole drive a whole lot less like being slow baked at 325.

Truly a fun day and thanks again to Chris for hosting all of us and opening up his shop. Watching how the sausage is made (SirAndy's hood vent) was very cool.

Now, let's talk about the trip to Petaluma. HB with the beautiful '75 copper 914 with white interior met me and Jim, with the pretty dark blue 914. Both Jim and HB are just starting to drive their cars and letting the leash get longer with each trip. Both their cars performed flawlessly and it was fun caravanning to Petaluma.

Chris' driveway looked like a Crayon ad with all the colors well represented. Thanks everyone for a fun gathering.
