I love watching your videos to see how this is done. Very informative. Thanks so much.
It would be extremely cool if you guys actually did make a chassis in white for our cars. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) 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. Hi Pete, Good to hear about the progress. I'll be patiently waiting for the the finished product. Thanks, Luke |

I bought a third of a car from your original owners and the quality was 110%. I recommend you all the time. If you are in Dallas -Ft Worth you need to stop in at Zims. I argue with them about your quality but they keep ordering from some guy in Denmark (356 body parts).
One day......your new 914 body.... |

I appreciate you guys taking the time to produce these videos. Top notch! I also hope it creates an additional sales jump. Companies that produce good quality, affordable parts for our little cars are getting scarce. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

It could be that they got burned too badly by the previous owners. The parts were always good, as I recall, but the delivery times and the communication was really horrible near the end. I know that is why Pelican stopped ordering from them. It sounds like you guys are about a thousand times better with orders and customer support. Hopefully someone can make the point with Zim's--and I'll see if I can talk to Wayne about Pelican as well. --DD |

Hello All!,
Thanks for all the positive remarks. We are glad to be able to provide these videos to give a little bit more instruction on how to install all these pieces. QUOTE(bandjoey @ May 17 2014, 09:27 AM) I bought a third of a car from your original owners and the quality was 110%. I recommend you all the time. If you are in Dallas -Ft Worth you need to stop in at Zims. I argue with them about your quality but they keep ordering from some guy in Denmark (356 body parts). One day......your new 914 body.... Zims is a distributor for the Simonsen brand that is produced in Europe. They dont move too much volume, but their margins are bigtime. I dont think he wants to start pushing our stuff, there would be too much to stock. Anyways, I have another video for you guys. Adam is installing the engine shelf on the passenger side. (sorry Rick, hes still in his short sleeve shirt because we shot all these vids in the same day. But I will tell him to wear a long sleeve next time.) In a couple months we will have the engine shelf available for the driver side. So subscribe to our youtube channel or newsletter to get notified of new things happening around Restoration Design. I guess one day we will be making a whole body, but I think it will be a 911 before the 914... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZGf9yaFHEk |

Over 110degrees outside in the pic below (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)
Thanks for the design guys! I added a few inches to the mounts to raise the shell, maybe not a good idea but fixable if it makes it harder to roll over? Not finished welding yet, need more bracing! but for now it is fine as it sits. This is my 'bad' shell that has holes EVERYWHERE and was used just to test fit. The nice shell is in the garage (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Changed it up a bit other places too: 41" horizontals 25" diag/vert mitered all 22.5degrees. I was thinking of having some 135deg gussets made on a waterjet/laser/plasma somewhere. 107 1/8" connections. 1/4" plate mounting. Link to more pics. My octisserie build  |

QUOTE(peteyd @ May 14 2013, 11:24 AM) Here are the drawings for the rotisserie we made. Hello from the uk. Im interested in creating this design. Could you or anyone here illustrate what the dimensions for the rotisserie are in ie feet & inches or metric. Just need the centre point between the 2 mounting points so a guy with cad who only works in metric can work out how much approximately this is going to cost? hope ya'll understand my request (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) thanks Robbie Rear hoop Front hoop close up of horizontal tubes. |
