Time for surgical removal. I am trying to minimize replacement.

The biggest section I removed was the inner side of the front edge. As always, the tools pile up during a job.

Today, the hero tool was the Dremel. We will see how long this one lasts.

I started piecing the channel back together today, with the new stock from 914 Rubber. Thanks, Mark.

I managed to get a bit of curvature, to match the original arc.

And welded in. I had pretty good luck with the thin gauge metal edges, even a bit of corrosion.

I started to tack weld this, and...the wire ran out. Always at an inconvenient moment, right? I had one more spool in my stock.

Back to welding. I can grind these first corner pieces tomorrow, and get on with the next bits.

Your work is inspiring and will be a reference when I finally start my 914. I have a question though and I am sorry if it is a silly one but here it goes: why didnt you have the shell blasted before you started all the work? It seems to me that it would have been easier to see all the problem areas and would have helped with the welds? Again, this is a question from a soon to be first timer.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

PS: You make a very good case for a rotisserie. But it is so expensive....

Cheers

My delay in blasting was a combination of poor planning--and not expecting to get this deep. By the time I realized I was into a complete tear down, it was too late to get any external sources for paint stripping.

As for the rotisserie, I am hoping that when done I can sell it for a good part of my purchase price (unless my son claims it).
