Looking good Rudy. I haven’t seen it for awhile. Looks like I need to get my butt by there soon and check it out. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Rudy -
That.
Looks.
EPIC!!!!

Wow. And having done a bit of fabrication, I can appreciate the time and effort you have in your build. And not just the actual fab work. I'd bet you have at least 2-3 times that in head-scratching and what-if'ing ahead of putting hands to metal. Not to mention the inevitable "Oh boy, I wonder if this will even work?!?"

Absolutely LOVE your ambition and execution. I can't wait to see your creation in person.
Keep up the great work! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif)

Yeah now that you mention that, I looked up a 959 image and sure enough, you’re right. Thank you

@tygaboy Chris man you ain't kidding. The amount of work involved to get to this point is exhausting.......BUT WE LOVE IT DON'T WE??!! Thank you for the compliments. I'm working on the cantilevered suspension right now because I want to have a rolling chassis (AGAIN) by the end of August. After that it will be the metal duck tail and modified rear hood. Then front radiator and frunk, final twist test and then installing motor and start connecting the wiring and all plumbing.

@76-914 Come on over. If I get my primer delivered in time I will be epoxy primering the fenders and floor. Will then hit it with high build primer and move on to the suspension. Then rear duck tail and hood.

@mgarrison YES they are Morimoto LED 2.0 LED projectors with high and low beam integrated in one unit. These are supposed to be the bees knees. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif)

now I just need to build an assembly that is adjustable, that can bolt up into the fender well, that is waterproof and I need to print up a new lense cover...thats all (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Attached Image

Oh and I don't care if they are legal or not. However, they are technically being used as fog lights for which they are legal. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bs.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bs.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bs.gif)

I think that they would fit in a stock 914. If they do fit, I may make a run of headlight buckets and lenses if anyone is interested. They will bolt into the 914 fenders.

I'd be interested! Plan on not doing popups and would love to put the lights up into the fenders. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif)

They seem long to fit in the stock headlight bucket, no?

Very cool nonetheless!

I am 100% in for a set of clear lenses for the turn signal housings.

I too am doing headlights in those buckets on my build.

PM me if you're going to make them! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I think Rudy is going to make his own "bucket/fixture" if I read that right. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Yes,
I will be making a custom headlight bucket. There's really nothing out there that can be easily modified to hold those LEDs.

I was finally able to get a coat of epoxy primer on the fenders. The epoxy is supposed to seal the work so that water can't get to the metal and bodywork. Then I will shoot with 3 coats of high fill 2 part primer. Then block sand and get all mini waves out. I'm very happy with the body work. By the way, the primer I'm using is SPI........amazing stuff.
It's all made in the USA, and their epoxy primer happens to be sandable.
