2nd view of the same. You can see dad's fancy aluminum muffler hanger bracket.

They sound pretty great really...
not quiet by any means but has a nice throaty tone:

Excellent job. I'm sure you're proud.

How about some shots of Dad?

(Can I borrow him when you're done? Room/Board/Food)

But,have one question.
Shouldn't you thiking of something between Aluminmum and StainlessSteel?

A lttle too much room for vibration.

Eric,

I can get a couple of shots of dad.
I'd be willing to rent him out, but I might need a cut!

Kevin,
I expect the aluminum to scuff the mufflers up pretty good, but you can NOT hear any vibration when the motor is running... Something to do with the high volume (not because the hanger is quiet I'm sure)

This one partly for John Kelley.
Its a shot of the attatchment method we came up with for his covers. an aluminum bolt is glued in with a retaining tab. The glue is Fusor brand body panel adhesive. One shows the bare attatchment, and the other shows the washers that will hold it to the body:

No doubt your dad is truly an artisan. So how much to rent the guy out? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/lol2.gif)

Hi Brant,
I have been following your car build for a while now. You and your Dad have done a beautiful job.
You have got to be itching to drive it hard.
I am building my own 914-6 conversion and finally fired it up for the first time in 7 months last week end. Mine is a 2.2 liter street/autocross car.
I hope you don't mind, I have shamelessly copied some of your inovations. (The hole in the firewall sure makes timing it easy.)

If you don't mind sharing a little info, ( and I'll understand if you do), would you tell me what length of shocks you are running on back?

Also, What kind of rev limit do you plan to ultimately run on your engine?
I'm sure all of us want to see shots of your car on the move. I'm looking forward to it.

Thanks,
Curtis

Hi Curtis,

nice to meet you.
heck you are practically local to my dad's house. I will be at hallet before this season is over.. so maybe we can meet up or something.

Thats really great about your -6. sounds like yours went to gether quick. Good deal. Boy it was neat to fire it up for the first time, must have been for you too.

I'll try to get a rear shock measurement for you next time I'm in lamar. (2 weeks)

Regarding Redline rpm, we were debating that. At one point I called the builder to do more research on which springs and how the top end was done. We decided to go with stock-ish redline for our engine. This is a 67S motor so after its broke in we are going to run up to 7K or 7200-ish.

We hope to do cams/heads/valves/springs/and the full top end in a year or two, at which point we will raise the redline.

I'm glad to hear you'll be visiting Hallet. Our PCA chapter always sponsors the PCA club race there in October. I hope to have my car broken in and dialed in by then.
I'll be working the at the race, So I'll be watching for your car , (assuming you're going to do PCA races). I'd love to look it over in the flesh.
I need to check the Vintage racing schedule there as well.
Thanks for the redline info. I'm a converted watercooled guy so these aircooled engines are still new to me.

Curtis

Curtis,
I'll let you know as the dates near...

Our local vintage club is having an Enduro 10/1-2 at my favorite track in state... The same weekend as PCA is in Hallet this year...

Tough call...

but CVAR looks to be having a Hallet event on October 7th/8th/9th (the very next weekend)

Will have to see as the summer unfolds.
and if the car is still in one piece by that point.
hope to go though

Update:

big productive weekend.
finishing up a bunch of details, and fixing things that didn't work the first time around.

Dad took some more weight out of our seat-back brace and her is what it looks like now:

7 inch wheels were put on. For now I'm running my old cookies with VERY old tires. But I figure I'm only trying to break in the motor, so it won't matter.

Here is the rear fender clearance with 7inch wheels and 225/50/15 's:

my dad thought the horns looked too dirty, so surprised me by polishing them:

Sanitary!.....a 60's term (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

Did you decide if that car weight was right?

Your attention to detail has paid off big time here. I hope you don't sit around with nothing to do now - so you don't become the extra ballast you might need!
