I have those parts.
I have on on a chunk of cross member and can cut it off.
The driver and passenger brackets are different. Is what you pictured the one you need or the one you have? I am not sure they can be swapped.
The one I have on the cross member is exactly like what you pictured. I think I cut both from the parts car.
Easier to ship unless you like to drive


@Curbandgutter

hopefully that IIRC guy still has that part. If he's local I can come by and cut it out of the car.

Yes cut out entire cross member and I'll "surgically" remove the part I need. And you're right , the driver and passenger are different. I need the passenger side. PM me with price so we can make arrangements.

I love 914 World posts that have virtually zero 914 content. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

Great progress, Rudy!

Rudy

So thrilled you're still at it. I seem to remember that awesome BBQ you prepared us several years back. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chowtime.gif)

Hope you and your family are doing well.

Keep us updated on your progress (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif)

THANKS GUYS,

The body work remaining is

1) make a front trunk
2) tie in rear trunk
3) finish interior long cover
4) make interior tunnel cover
5) flare out front and rear fenders and additional 5 or 6 inches.

suspension work remaining is

6) my son is currently designing and machining the front control arms to include a 3" front track widening and connections to remove strut and transfer to inboard coil overs.

I'm feeling like doing 2,3,4 and 5 first while son does 6. Will leave 1 once I figure out how to vent this thing out. I want to try something different.

There are some wildly, wildly cool builds going on right now. And this is definitely one of them. Hat's off on the creativity, workmanship, and direction.

Can't wait to see this hit the road, but enjoying the journey...

Update: Completed both removable long covers. Did this so that I can run radiator and ac lines inside of the longs.

Using Langmuir Pro Plasa Cutter to cut sheet metal. I fabricated everything on the table that is painted red. Had to modify the table to my likingAttached Image

So I cut out the long covers and a bunch of ac/vent holes that I'm closing up.
I closed every single opening along the firewallAttached Image Attached Image

I put an offset in the stationary cover so that the removable cover fits close to flush Attached Image

Bending longs on magnetic brake Attached Image Attached Image

Adding rivnuts to make it all removable Attached Image Attached Image Attached Image

This is what it will look like when open Attached Image

This is closedAttached Image

This is top view insideAttached Image

This is top view outside Attached Image

Closing everything up Attached Image

This is what is coming next Attached Image
