Been following this off and on, and now revisiting. All I can say is: whoa. What a cool father and son project, and what an ambitious project.

I always thought the flat-fan car would be impossible to top as the wildest all-Porsche 914 hot rod. I guess I was wrong.

Thank you Pete for the kind words , my son has been involved with car projects early on. This is our 914 CI class (POC) that we started building when he was 15 1/2 years old. He had the class record when he was 18.

Placement and final trimming for rear bumper fitment.
With this brand (A.I.R.) fiberglass bumper, you can't use the factory dog bones...so I will shape my own custom spacers.Attached Image

Please so more details on your mono wiper :web:

Guess my real question ones down to motor setup. Hope your modifying something lite in weight. Later Model 911 motor is 4 pounds liter than my 914 motor, as I have modified a rack for that all ready, but, I would prefer to go mono. Which I did on my 914-4 with a Jetta Wiper Arm and Blade. IT was from the pass side location, did a great job, for what little rain the car sees. That and Rain-X. My plan includes filling the center vent, so I might as well do the cowl, and make it a true mono wiper.

BTW, love the build, and about to make a similar dolly as soon as the bottom of the car is sealed up.

The mono wiper is a combination of AFI and Marinco watercraft items.
The blade is 24", arm is adjustable from 10"-14". I chose this method as there are no rods or mechanisms involved. The sweep, park of the blade is adjusted by a cam inside the motor unit. It is also has 2 speeds. A simple bracket system to hold it, and a 5/8" shaft adapter bushing is all that's needed. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Attached Image

A custom tool that I fabb'd up, it holds the vents down in place on the cowl while I'm cutting away. The tool is held down on the sheet metal with one hand while I run the small saw with my other hand.Attached Image

Cutting out the recess for the bottom of the new mono-wiper/ 18 ga. mounting plate. The hold down tool also doubles as a safety buffer for my fingers while cutting.Attached Image

914-8 gtt projekt approval by a Factory official, our good friend Uwe (center in pic) stopped in the MSDS Zentrum for a visit. He has been following our hot-rod builds since the mid '80s. He wanted to know what this 914's nickname will be...good question (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
Lots of Porsche crew in California during Rennsport Reunion5.
