More progress at Auto Associates. The NOS rear quarters have been welding in place and have made a beautiful repair. Also the engine lid release cable tube has been modified for the GT type release.

The MittleMotor manual head light release parts have been added. I will tweak these and get them working once I get the car back at my place.

The kit for the through lid fuel filler funnel had arrived.


Hi Tom,

Can you tell me who you ordered the through the lid fuel filler funnel kit from?

One more project on my '74 that I would love to incorporate.

Regards,

Grant

Another trip up to Auto Associates today. More progress. The hood & fuel filler have been fitted and the final pieces for the headlight kit have been welded in place. Next up will be paint for the bottom, front & rear compartments and cockpit. Then delivery to me for interim assembly.

It looks a lot different from what I saw in your garage a year ago Tom. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif)

Amazing progress. One of the prettiest things is a chassis coming together for body work and paint. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

This is looking so good. Well done on the progress. Like the details you are doing. That engine should be quite strong now. Peace of mind doing what you have done. So nice.

Yes Rory...I think they were. You can see them in the original photo when I dropped them off at Auto Associates

No worries as they will be taken out as part of the final body work and flare installation.

The Phase I rust repair and chassis stiffening is now complete at Auto Associates. The car is coming home to me for the Phase II assembly work before going back to Auto Associates for final, phase III GT body work, roll bar installation and paint. The color is Lizard Green.

My plan is to start with the electrical first. I will be installing a new 914-6 wiring harness. I plan to get all the lights fit checked and working using my 12V DC power supply. Then I will install the front crossmember, rebuilt steering rack and converted steering column along with the dash to allow completion of the wiring for the T/S, wipers and gauges. After that, I plan to install the front and rear suspensions as well as all the through tunnel fuel lines, brake lines and cables.

The final step in phase II will be the engine build and installation. Ideally, I will have a running chassis before the car goes back to Auto Associates for phase III. My target for phase III is late spring 2024.

Any constructive comments or suggestions on the plan from those of you who have down this road before will be appreciated.

Now that I have the car back home, time for phase II reassembly.

My original plan was to start with the wiring harness, When I unpacked the brand new 914-6 harness from Restoration Design, I found that they had not relocated the fuel pump wiring to the front trunk for the GT dual front fuel pumps as we had discussed. Peter at RD was very helpful in agreeing to expedite return shipping and correction of the harness at no cost.

In the meantime, I decided to begin installation of the front suspension, in particular to check to ensure the modified early 911 steering column would fit and work with the rebuilt 914 steering rack. No problems here...Butter smooth turning action. Note the Momo steering wheel is only temporary as I have a good 380 mm original style wheel I will be using once completed.

So what is the deal on the thru hole for the steering rack shaft? It seems there should be some type of grommet to close up the hole?? I could not see anything on the parts diagram. What do we do about this?
