Dion -
I'll say it again: I am always amazed (and a little intimidated!) when I see how far you're going with your car. So cool to see.
You're giving me confidence to go after some of the panel repairs I need to make on mine.
Keep up the awesome work and pics.
(and get that suspension console on there!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) )

Safe and Happy New Year to you and yours.
Chris

Thanks Chris & Ben. It’s always nice to hear your encouragement.
Ben... not so sure about another resto.. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

With Dave’s mold making & fabricating skills we started on
the longitudinal. Fantastic work on the outer floor flange and radius.

The steel was screwed onto a buck Dave had made for his 914 repair.

Then the heating with the torch took place to coax that steel into shape.

So we have a portion of this rear kick-up piece beginning to take shape!
This is all very cool and exciting. Enjoying this journey.

The wide portion is the “floor” of the kickup yet to be pie cut and wrapped around the buck.

Ok time for an update. Been doing a lot of odds & ends.
If your following this thread you know I’m not the metal master. So while Dave is
addressing some issues on his car and the weather is crap here, not as bad as
Brent’s but PITA regardless. I’m tackling some items.
Obtained a bloody great 60’s compressor for future chores, fellow member Howard Hinsdale told me about it. Thanks Howard!
Unfortunately it needs a new tank, found a previous welded patch on the bottom. So no go!
I did find another tank so it’s another project to do. I removed the motor and pump.
Should be a fun project getting it back up to snuff.
