I am heading to Torrance this weekend to see Kent, Jim, Andy and my Six. I am excited to see the progress Kent is making. Additionally, I know Jim has been busy working on components so when it comes time for assembly, we just unwrap them and install them. I am overjoyed with the progress being made as well as the quality of the work. I eagerly look forward to Kent being able to just get to the body work and paint.

I am so ready for the metal work to be over. Seems like I have been waiting for that for 5 years...oh wait, I have! Of course that was not with Kent - Kent has jumped on my car and been busy getting things right. Thank you Kent. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif)

Michael car is looking awesome. Any way you could measure the bottom of the floor pan to the top of the engine mount for me? I know I am jumping in on this thread but I would love to get a real six measurements..

Keep up the great work..


Hard to see but it measures 8.5". The second measurement is aprox. 2.25" and is from the top of the engine mount to the engine tray where the seal seats. Hope this is what you were looking for. Do the conversion for metric if needed.


Could you provide one more measurement? I have an aftermarket mount that I purchased from Mittlemotor GmbH and I'd like to confirm the distance from the firewall to the center of the rubber mount hole. See the picture below. And, THANK YOU!

Greg

Here you go.


Thank you!

Michael - I can guarantee you will like the 3.2 in that car.
Just one suggestion. Try to fit the wheels and tires on the car before paint.
My clearances are tight and I’m using 6” wheels with 205x60x15 tires and it’s close.

Looks nice and straight and clean and free of rust, etc.
Definitely progressing along nicely.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) Wow! I can't wait to see that in person. I have waited a long time to see the bottom of this car looking that nice. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Nice work Kent.

Apparently so has Kent. Now that he's had his eyes fixed he can see what he's working on. We thought Jims car turned great. Can't imagine yours now that Kent can see... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) Yeah, well if my Six comes out as nice as Jim and Andy's, I will be one very happy guy. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Sorry guys. I would love to meet you both. Let's do it another time. I have to respect Kent's time. I plan on going down monthly so we will have a chance to meet in the future. Plus that will give Kent more time to get the chassis whipped into shape.

Maybe we could make it either before or after Thanksgiving? It would be a Saturday, not the Thanksgiving weekend, that's for sure. Don't want to add to the holiday traffic madness. I won't be able to nail down the date until I am in November due to my constantly changing schedule. But I think it would be fun to meet, have lunch and "cut it up" as "they" say. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Also, if you have not seen Kent's work in person, I think it will blow you away. Pictures are good, but not as good as actually looking at the work in person. Andy and Jim's cars are just awe inspiring.

Have had the week from Hell with crazy work and hours. Got home at 10:00 last night and went to bed and then got up at midnight so I can be on the road by 0200 to p/up my brother so we can drive down to see Kent, Jim and Andy. Been looking forward to that all week. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Back from southern CA - Had a great visit with Kent, Jim, Andy and my Six. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) The bottom of the car is looking really nice (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) .

However, in talking about the front of the car, it was decided that the front panel on the car needs to be replaced to make the front end correct. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) As you can imagine, this was disappointing to me since it was already replaced a few years ago. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) But, in the end, it will be cheaper and easier to get the front end panels correct this way. I have posted a WTB and am once again chasing down an early nose panel. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/type.gif)

My brother and I were able to spend some time with Jim going through my parts and I was able to complete my inventory of the parts I have and what I did not get when I picked my car up. I will get my list, it is short, to Scotty. He has been waiting for the complete list so he can gather and ship my stuff in one batch. I look forward to seeing those parts soon.

Also, spent more time looking at Jim's Six... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif) It is just amazing how nice his car is. It is like being transported back to 1970 and seeing one in the showroom of the dealership - only nicer. The depth of knowledge regarding these cars, between Jim, Kent and Andy, is just amazing. They really need to get a life (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) . Seriously, they know these cars. I am so glad my car is in their hands.

I will go back down to southern CA in December to check on my car again. I hope I am able to quickly find a nose panel and get it to Kent so that surgery is over before I have a chance to really think about it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif)
