@tygaboy - Chris you are going to love not having to get down on your knees or sitting on your rear to work on projects. Great purchase. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

The end of an era: I've had more than a couple folks comment things like "you do all this work without a lift?" and mention how much easier/better it'd be if I had one.
I'm not willing to sacrifice my "clear span shop life" but I did finally give in.
Merry Christmas to my back and knees! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/santa_smiley.gif)

Merry, merry from the Red Barn! As we wrap up the year, can I just say how much I appreciate this community and each of its wacky and wonderful members? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

And a quick heads up that 2023 will see the launch of "At The Red Barn", a bit more polished effort at a YouTube channel.

I've found I really enjoy the creative process of video-making. As with the other stuff you've seen me try and learn, the early stuff will likely be a bit bumpy, but I expect I'll get better as I go along.

If you've enjoyed my 914 World threads, I'm pretty sure you'll like what you see on At The Red Barn, too.

I'll post a link to the channel as soon as it's operational. Hope to hear from you there!

A safe and happy holiday to you and yours!

With all the focus on the 914 Ferrari, I was feeling a bit guilty that I'd been neglecting the build that really started it all for me. So I treated the little beastie to a drive. Well, really, it treated me to a drive!

Just a quick errand to Martin's to drop off something. As I was walking back to the car, I thought "Man, that looks cool!" and had to take a pic.

A bit rough around the edges with any number of flaws, but it's out there, mixing it up!
Like car, like owner. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Happy New Year, all!

I think she looks great Chris! I'm a function over form guy, always knowing that my projects will always be improving in small ways and I like this look. Finished in many ways and well done. Happy New Year!

Happy New Years to you Chris. Even in it's rough form it will garner more attention than the $100K super cars! Enjoyment is the operative word here! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

For anyone who hasn't followed this build and isn't interested in reading from the start, here's a review of how the cars sits today. Plus, if you didn't see the "Randy Pobst drove my car" post, that's in here, too.
Callouts to @Retroracer @chrisfoley @spoke
Enjoy!

With the car being accepted to display at Luft 9, I figured I'd better tidy up a few things. I finally repaired the carbon fiber longitudinal skin, trimmed it to fit and glued on the carpet. On to the driver's floor.

Easily removable: carpet covered carbon fiber cover panel installed.
You can also see I got the 944 Turbo inner door handle installed in the driver's door. It works a treat!

Awesome you were accepted for luft. I thought luft was all air cooled cars? Maybe because it’s just cool ….

My understanding is Saturday the 29th is air-cooled day and Sunday is air and water cooled. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

@sb914 @Cairo94507 In my submittal to Luft, I called out "LS powered" and included a pic of the engine compartment and even mentioned "maybe for Sunday?".
Their reply was essentially, "see you on Saturday". Hope no one is surprised when I show up!

@tygaboy Hi Chris - Sorry for the confusion; I was by no means inferring you were not welcome on Saturday. I was talking to sb914. I look forward to seeing you on the 29th- hopefully parked next to us. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
