Looks like the engine/trans is off to the left from the center line of the car.

I really hope that's just due to Roberts photography skills.

PS: And while i'm at it, that engine lid cutout should really follow the contour of the upper intake and not just be square like that.

Parallax? Kindig just did a scalloped hood that followed the 8 stacks coming out of the hood on a CF1. I did not think I would like it until I saw the finished product and I did like it.

This is really picking nits...

As always, 914 World proves to be a tough crowd! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) But seriously, I'd expect nothing less. You know I welcome all input and observation.
@SirAndy Andy - The drive train and its mounts measure centered in the chassis. That said, interestingly, the trans mount bushing doesn't center in the trans bung and it's forcing the trans a tic to the left. You can see that in the gaps at the trans mount. I'll correct that when I replace that bushing. And it doesn't help that the back of the trans isn't symetric - from particular perspectives, things can look off. I'll get a top-down pic that'll really mess with you!
RE: the cut out, that was done months ago, just to get clearance and before I knew for sure where the engine would end up, height-wise.
I think we're well enough acquainted that I can say, "a little credit please. The final product will have an opening of approriate shape and size to earn the expected 'style points'." (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

Is the goal to show the Raspberry Porrari at RR-VII? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Fantastic work, and very nice stance as-is (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

It's not a perfect representation, but...
When the trans hanger rubber mount is replaced and centered, it'll cause the drive train to rotate counter-clockwise around the engine mounts and move the trans to the right, nicely centering everything.

Here you can see how asymetric the trans tail cover is. Yes, that means the peek-a-boo view of the script and horse won't be under the center of the bumper. Just more stuff that'll mess with folks when they see the car.

And before you scratch your head too much, note that this part of the trans wasn't visible in the 360 - it was screened in.

Road's eye view.
All the eyeballing and guestimeasuring worked out. The cradle sits just a tic lower than the drive train, just as planned.

OK, so I lied. The drive train isn't fully mounted.
I still need to work up an attachement point for the lower trans "pivot mount". The plan is it will be a separate piece that bolts to the rear of the cradle at the lower threaded bung, runs to a cross bar here where a set of tabs will pick up this mount, then back up the other side to the cradle. Triangulation will be added from this mount's cross bar to the chassis - exact location tbd.

Amazing job, I was wondering how you mounted the front brackets, now I know. Great job !

I am still concerned with the exhaust since both side supports looks pretty much in the way. It will be 100% custom I assume. Can't wait.

@ManuFromParis - Fear not, my friend. Here's the slightly modified factory header mocked in place - plenty of room to get past the plate on the suspension consoles. And yes, it'll be 100% from scratch. Not really any other options.

Back to the pivot linkage's mount. Version 1 mock up, just to see what might work. Ideally, this piece will do double duty as a mount for the rear portion of the skid plate and the potential rear diffuser.

@tygaboy Chris - the opposite of "clamp" is "pmalc". I believe its a silent "p".

I'm here to help.

Couldn't let this go without acknowledgement. That there is funny. @Retroracer

Everything in this build is moving so fast I think it got lost in the dust. impressive build.

Merry, merry from the Red Barn! As we wrap up the year, can I just say how much I appreciate this community and each of its wacky and wonderful members? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

And a quick heads up that 2023 will see the launch of "At The Red Barn", a bit more polished effort at a YouTube channel.

I've found I really enjoy the creative process of video-making. As with the other stuff you've seen me try and learn, the early stuff will likely be a bit bumpy, but I expect I'll get better as I go along.

If you've enjoyed my 914 World threads, I'm pretty sure you'll like what you see on At The Red Barn, too.

I'll post a link to the channel as soon as it's operational. Hope to hear from you there!

A safe and happy holiday to you and yours!

@Rleog - I found it super easy and intuitive. I like to think I'm pretty good figuring out software but this was pretty simple. For example, I'd think something like "It'd be really neat to separate the audio from the video..." A right click on the track and sure enough, there's "detach audio". Perfect!
I haven't yet needed it more than a couple times but there are a lots of YouTube tutorial vids on the product.
All that said, I'm also a newbie and I'm not looking to go too crazy and distract-y with fancy stuff. But for what I think I want to deliver, I'm really happy with the product.

The acid test will be what all y'all think of the end result once I launch! I hope to enjoy it and I look forward to your constructive critisism.

@mgp4591 - Funny you mention this! I was the lead singer / bass player in a couple bands, back in the day. Here we are rehearsing in the living room - me singing - before I'd officially taken over bass duty - and when I still had hair, lots and lots of hair! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)

I have a fun story about nearly becoming a rock star. If you can place the guitarist on the right, you'll have an idea of my near brush with fame...

Anyway, last week I mentioned to one of my musician buddies that we may need to create some original music for the channel. If we do, I'll get footage of that.
