Thanks,

At one point we had about 8 Porsche tractors all in different stages of disrepair. We picked them all up in Ontario at a few different locations. My Dad restored this one and several others. He has sold a few and shipped several overseas. We still have two others, one of which is still midway through its restoration.

I have three other 914 parts that I am in the midst of working on.

I will give updates on these pieces when they are ready. As for the pedal cluster, that is something I will have to look into still.

Thanks for the updates...I've bought your metal and it's always top shelf!

When will the new complete body shells be available??? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I've seen complete new Mustang body shells online ( 64 - 78 models) for $15k. New. Just a thought....

We have made another video for the installation of the suspension console.

Adam fabricated a jig before he cut out the old console to ensure that the new one was put in the exact same location.

Here is a diagram of the rear console specs taken from another poster on the 914world. I don't recall who initially put it up, but thank you.

Nice Jig! So you told me once- the steel you use is treated to prevent rust? So the inside of the ears should be good to go? Adam stated he used POR? IMH opinion there may be better rust treatments, the Eastwood products as example, but possibly the experts will chime in.

Yes the steel we use is Galvanneal. It is used to prevent future rusting on our parts. Adam put the POR15 on the original metal of the car. People have their opinions on what is a better product to use for rust prevention. We use POR 15 and it works fine. I have not used any other product so I dont know which product is better.

Use whatever rust prevention product you want, but make sure you use something on the original steel.

This is great stuff guys! My driver floorpan is like above, with a hole. The seat bracket also rusted and broke on one side. Is it possible to do floorpan repairs without pulling the car all the way down and putting it on a rotisserie?

Also, looks like you guys need a Porsche tank to go with those tractors. I think Bovington in the UK has a King Tiger with the Porsche designed turret...

Hey Pedro, where do you guys buy your galvanneal from? I'm curious if it's a Dofasco product.

The steel is purchased from a supplier in Michigan. Same company that supplies the other car companies like Toyota, Ford, GM, etc....

Hi Pete,

How's the progress on the lower engine firewall coming along?

BTW, I like the videos of the new metal installs. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Have you guys ever considered renaming your business to Rustoration Design? Maybe as a joke on 9/14/2014?

Luke,

I have made a few modifications to the die and it is waiting to get into the press. I hope to get it in there very soon.

I love your parts and videos but Please consider wearing sleeves when you weld. I had a friend develop melanoma from tacking without gloves. They took a finger, then his hand, then his arm to the shoulder before the cancer finally took his life. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Please continue supporting our little cars. With your parts our cars will last generations. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
