This is a hard thread to follow and not comment on negatively.

I'm not a mean person so I won't comment.

I think I just commented. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif)

Oh, by all means, grow a pair and comment, it will serve you way better than side of your mouth comments. But more importantly, if you don't like what you're seeing or reading, don't follow, don't comment, or in your case half comment. Lots of people on this board are enjoying this build, I'm enjoying this build, you obviously aren't, so please go away.


yeah, what Adam said . . . there are lots others enjoying what he's doing here as well, so bug off!

I never understand this kind of mentality. It's one thing to find a long lost picture of a car and say, "wow, someone had a dream." but it's quite another to post on someone's build thread that their car is a POS. Why would you do that? Does it make you feel cool to bash someone's car? Are you one of those guy's who goes on forum's to talk tough and rip people's cars apart and then hide behind a fake name and picture?
WTF is wrong with you?
Forum's like this are here to encourage other people and share idea's, bring knowledge, see where someone else can take an idea. Only weak people go on forum's to smash other people's ideas, make snide comments. So Larmo63 who wants to look like Clint, don't be a weak person. If you don't like my build, don't click on it. I've put hundreds of hours of work and thousands of dollar's into this build and I didn't do it so little weak fake name forum troll's could tear it apart because they don't see my vision.
Guy's like this love to pick my build apart because I'm in unchartered territory. So I shouldn't try something just because I've never done it before, how is that any way to live. I bet the same people told Porsche this in the early 50's when they went and built a race car, the 550. Guess what they made some big mistakes, remember the 550 that went off the bowl at Avus and burst into flames because their experiment with the suspension went wrong? Well guess what, those same engineer's that the likes of Ferrari laughed at won at the Targa Florio a few years later. But had they listened to the shit talkers they never would have tried anything outside their comfort zone.
So how about all you guy's like Larmo63 just stop looking, stop posting, stop the negativity, it just makes you look weak and small minded. I'm going to keep building my dream car, because that's what I'm doing, building a dream, why can't a few trolls just stay in their holes, I don't know, but I really wish they would. Because guess what, if I build something wrong, I'll fix it, and try again, that's what men do, they go outside their comfort zone and build something even when people say they can't, or shouldn't, if you can't respect that, please just go away.

Is it me, or is this becoming an east coast/west coast thing? Let the guy make his car. If you like it post, if you think he did something wrong, post about that. If you think the whole thing is an abomination make a thread about torturing ex-racecars, or something.
WTF!

Not literally. Mike is a west coast guy, as well as Larmo...

Regardless which coast anyone resides on, the negative BS isn't the way gentlemen should act.

Same thing goes for the Harley community ... if you don't like what someone has done with their bike, you just don't say anything (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool_shades.gif)

Let's drag up a NorCal / SoCal thing...

Really, I don't care what Adam builds. I wish the original 914 race car could have been saved but that's water under the bridge. I just want to see the finished product. It's still going to be a cool ride with tons of man hours into creating it. I love seeing fab work and the creativity of the members.

All the haters need to chill. It's his car, let him build it his way.

So the day started out rough, un-scheduled snow storm, no plows, no tire tracks, just me and the 4WD. Made it in ok, it actually got a little better when I crossed the river.
Rick was a big help, we got one strut together and the other one we hit a snag, but progress was made. Also got to play around with fitting the body, that's always fun. I might have to get rid of the big brakes that are on the car, if I want to run normal wheels they won't clear over the huge racing calipers, but they will stay for right now.
Oh, and it wouldn't be a day of wrenching, unless I busted a knuckle...

Happy New Year-
Adam

Hey Adam, was the 904 body kit intended for use with the 914 chassis or something else? Sorry in advance if you have already stated this in an earlier thread.

No, that was my idea, the guy who makes them just copied an original body, but no plans for a frame. I think he made a tube frame for his. I was talking to Chuck Beck about using a 914, and he said you can't, the shock towers are too high. I told him I was lowering the shock towers, he mumbled something about me being crazy.
There is a place in the UK that I think has the original frame jigs and will make you a frame, but it is probably pretty pricey.
