Actually the 8 Ball came with the car. I think it passed the test of time. Its a real shift knob not off a table.

I guess no takers on: "Guess that part".

The prior owner had the left quarter panel replaced at one time. I assume this was done probably when the car was fairly new judging by the grey filler and some brazing. Space age microspheres (Dynalite used red hardner and the filler ends up pink) so I know its old old work.

Well the bodyman used an air chisel here and a Sawzall there. He cut right through the vent duct and never bothered to repair his fine error.

That weld you see at the lower rt corner of the photo is where I removed some brass at the pinch weld. I didn't like the way it looked.

My conundrum was how to repair or replace it with the quarter panel still on the car? No room for tools up there.

So grind out the gash flat and fabricate a piece. Used a drum sander on an extension to get in there. Sand blast it bare.

The piece is then bonded with structural adhesive. First because I can't get a welder in there. Second I can't grind the welds down because its too confined. Third because the structural adhesive make sense for a repair of this type and it comes out clean.

Aside from the Ferrari....which is sweet, how are you coming along with the 914. I just got back to this thread and my own car as well. Fantastic work and truly helpful is an understatement. Thanks so much for leading us through this.

Quick Q? Do you have more details on your shifter set up. I likely need to go back in the thread and see if i missed it.

Once again, thanks so much for what has to be one of the most informative threads in a very long time. Grant

I'm still here just have not done any work on the 14 lately. Lot of stuff going on in life right now so the car is on the back burner. My shoulder is out and has been since May which really sucks.

No worries and take care of your shoulder. I busted mine up playing hockey and that rotator cuff can be a real pain when it does not work like it should.

Like the others, I have really learned alot through your work....sometimes as much abouty what I should tackle and what I should have a "Pro" do for me. Talk soon and hope you are back at it. Grant

Yeah I know you miss me Eric. Actually I have been very busy; past year my shoulder/ rotator has been a mess. Doctors orders… absolutely no panel beating! In May I had a flood in my house which forced me to move out while remediation and repairs were made. All I have left to do is finish the custom hardwood baseboards at this point. Not a square inch of this house was spared and left untouched... except the garage. August my Mom passed away after an eight year endurance race of her life with cancer. On October 31 of all the days on the calendar I was diagnosed with Lyme. No Kings English my friend just busy with the things that happen in life. I’ve never given up on anything, not in my nature. Just had to modify the organization chart by priority. Thanks for the bump.
