OMG!
Scotty B!
You're a hero.
I have just read the entire post to date and am in awe of the meticulous and painstaking methods of restoration of this Six.
I am now more cognizant of the scope of the repairs I must do to my -4(8).
As I feared,the rust free 914 is mostly so but with a borescope was able to discover the wormholes at the front fender/A pillar joint,mere pinpricks,diameter of a pencil.
Nonetheless the fenders must be cut to facilitate repairs or removed entirely.
So,on with this mission to build the perfect 914.

If all the cars have that rust under the foam (mine did) how can we rule out the possibility that the rust was factory installed? If so the perfect concours 914 would be inspected for their presence.

Very nice work, Scoot. I especially like how you faired the bumper at the cut out. Functional and beautifully done. And Epstein, I wouldn't count on that thin metal fairing to give any crash protection unless you hit a stiff marshmallow.

It all add up. Even the spare tire is part of the system.
The fiberglass parts can take a lot of work to fit. I know of one 916 front bumper at Scottys shop that's too valuable to mount on a car.

My car is not going to have a front plate. The holes in the front bumper will disappear before it gets chromed. If I pick up a ticket I will figure something out to get it taken care of.

Just keep the front plate behind your seat and when you get pulled over you can pull it out and say, "oops, I keep forgetting to put this on".

These days,anything can be "chromed"with the latest processes.
The shiny stuff is what blows her skirt up and turns her head so I'm all for it.
The toughest part of chroming grp is the print-through,even on a heavy gelcoat.
I've found the use of polyester is most prone to develop the effect.
A v-bagged s-glass layup in epoxy is less likely to show the dimples.

Worked on the front valance a bit. Trying something new-ish. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) More later if I'm happy with the way it turns out

I like what you are doing there. That resembles the opening on Mark's GT valance- right? Sweet!

Yes What I am trying is to achieve a similar yet smoother ( better transitional ) piece. My attempt is to gradually blend the opening with the rest of the valance rather than have the hard lines on the fiberglass GT where the flared opening meets the sides. ( the black lines on the glass one )
