Kent you are kicking some major ass! I'm always excited to see any new work/pictures. We (you), will be color sanding in no time. Thanks for your attention to detail, and your motivation for this project. You're my boy! Andy too.

Jim bought another parts car this weekend so we'll get the nose panel and rear tail panel that we needed. It also gives him the early suspention parts and other things that will be used.

Nice work! remember the Front Cross Panel changed over the production of the 914, I posted a thread with pictures. The last thing I want to do is put a part on that has a small (or large) variation, so any info. helps, Thanks. We were just texting pics back and forth yesterday as Jim was looking at the parts car that he was considering buying and trying to make sure that the nose was correct (it's a 71 and looks to be original). I had Andy send me a pic of his and it seems to be correct but I'll know for sure once I inspect it. The nose on the 6 had been changed by a PO so I can't exactly trust what's there. It's interesting what differences I find on the donor car and the 6 as well as my 72. I've removed the inner support at the base of the windshield surround on the donor which is a 73 and also found differences in the headlight bucket as well as where the fuel lines pass through the bulk head (though I'm not using that area) and where the wire runs through the tunnel. I don't want to miss anything. Thanks again. |
