Thanks guys. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) This has been a long, long time coming. I realize more and more how fortunate I am to have met the Justice League, (Jim, Kent, Andy and Bob) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) without whom, this project would have certainly died. Once I spoke with Kent and then saw Andy and Jim's cars, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif) both benchmarks in their own right (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) , I decided to stick with my Six come hell or high water. Kent received my car in bad shape (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) . Kent was able to take my chassis and in 14 short months, turn it into a perfect, metal finished chassis with no bondo (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) . It looked so good bare metal that I wanted to just shoot it in clear and put it together.
Kent tackled my car with zeal. I can not express how it felt to see my car with all of the bodywork done and ready for paint. Then to see it in Irish Green on Saturday, (11/3/18) was just awesome. I do not believe they looked that beautiful when they rolled off the assembly line. I am already looking forward to the next trip down to LA (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) , hopefully before Christmas (IMG:style_emoticons/default/santa_smiley.gif) , as the exterior will be Irish Green and it should be a "roller" and likely at Jim's by that time. Speaking of Jim, this guy is unstoppable. He has most of my parts already ready to go back on my car and is itching to get going on assembly. Andy, (Sandy, Mandy, Candy... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) ) remembering when his car was at this stage, 6 years ago, was as excited as I was as he looked at it. He commented, "With all the metal and body work done, from this point forward it is very exciting as you begin to see the car come to life with shiny parts." (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) We had all met up at the Cone Zone in Seal Beach and last count was 21 914's. It was cool to see them gather in the wild like that. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) I got to meet Lawrence (Larmo63), Oscar (ValcoOscar), Marv (Marv's3.6Six), Taylor and several other great guys- all of whom are active members here. They were all very supportive and glad my car was out of the metal and bodywork stage. Kudos, cheers and beers to Kent for getting after this and making it an honest build with all of its ugliness laid bare for all to see before it became the car it is now. The bad juju is behind me and the fun stuff begins really soon. Stay tuned as my car starts to be reassembled. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

Wish I'd have made the trip up.
Michael, I think these are the key words from your post "Kent was able to take my chassis and in 14 short months, turn it into a perfect, metal finished chassis with no bondo" Not many can say that. Metal work is truly an art IMHO and you have a very fine example. Looking forward to assembly. Cheers to all!

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) This build continues as one of my favorite threads. Although I'm a bit partial to FAT 914's this narrow body 914 is one super sweet machine. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) Can't wait to see it in person someday soon.

Beautiful but I'd be as nervous a a "whore in church" working around a pristine shell. One slip of the wrench and .......well you know. This project has gone from a "suspicious build" to a work of art. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
