Hey Andy! Stopped by and checked out your car! Mark has a great shop space and crew ready to go. Anyone that has a chassis that needs some special help needs Original Customs.

120lbs of replacement metal due to land in a couple days. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/boldblue.gif)
Then I just have to finish up a couple other cars that are almost done before putting this six up on the bench. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) To be accurate, most of this metal is being replaced due to bend/warp/twist and not rust. Not that matters, really. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

I still remember the first day of its revival a long time back. So cool to see it continuing on that journey. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif) That picture is just the way I remember that car. Twisted.... |

Wow! That is some very pretty metal you got there for SirAndy's car. Can't wait to see some install pictures as it begins to come together. SirAndy has got to be all kinds of excited about that. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Looks like RD is almost to the point of cranking out complete new 914s just like some of the late '60s muscle cars....now if I could just buy me another -6 VIN.......

Andy, I think the value of yours once complete should be judged based on your effort and commitment to save it....it will be worth a mint. Way to go.
