Liz, Lauren (and Joe too) - I sure hope you can make it to the Route 66 Classic this weekend. If so, I have some critical parts to donate for your build project.

Yeah, Nico's really creative when it comes to finding tax write-offs...

I don't think he's ever tried to write-off one of his dumps, though!!!

We'll be there Friday evening - Saturday afternoon. We're not going all the way to Nevada, but we'll hang in there for a while. Sorry, no 914 going, though... My Passat will have to do!

If that doesn't impress the IRS, I don't know what will.

Let the welding begin!

Three pictures follow.

We welded up the holes for the late bumpers and one side of the roll bar trim. It's a good thing I'm an experienced TIG welder on sheet metal or this would have been a train wreck. MIG welding is easy, but my TIG experience was necessary to just step up and weld sheet metal (.045")on a car (instead of practicing first).

Is that where you put the oil cooler on yours? Other than removing the plug-holes, how are you going to funnel the air up to there?

Looking great man...

Joe,
What are you using to cut the sheet metal? Is that a grinder with a cutting wheel or something else? If it is a cuting wheel could you give some details..?
The cutting wheels I have used with my grinder give me a "rougher cut" than I would like.... Almost like they are too thick to do detail cutting.... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif)
Thanks

Thom

No. It's not where my cooler is located, but it will work nicely for this application. Mine is mandatory for the 3.6 and has to have a fan running at all times. This is a traditional aux cooler, and is twice the size necessary.

Translation: No fans and marginal ducting will do the job.

4"x.040" w/5/8" arbor.

I use them all the time. They cost about a dollar each at Home Depot.
