Dana, you clearly do not know what you are doing on your car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

He can always fall back on 914 tranny rebuilding in the denver area.


I don't know, I know even less about trannies than I do car construction!
Good thing I went back to school to get a non-car related degree or I would be screwed! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Moved? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) It has always been here.

Dana mentioned something about going on vacation or something so he wasn't going to do anything for a while. Something about going to Rome and getting robbed at gun point. Oh wait, the last part is from someone else (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Well, there is a new Build Sub-Forum and a bunch of thread got moved there. Then all of them were stale...just wondered what was going on.

Let life resume...

Looking at all the work going into this one I'd almost think it would be easier to design a fiberglass 914 body and install it on an Ariel Atom (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

I have been doing some welding over the last couple of weeks.
I wanted to raise the door bars in the cabin to meet the rear tube chassis' upper bars but there was no way to do that except by having to wear a chunk of tube like a seat belt. Instead I decided to strengthen the existing cage and rockers in addition to making another tie-in point for the rear sub-frame.

I totally forgot to take pictures until I was almost done but here you can see the inner structure of the long, I welded in tubing to connect the two horizontal door bars and then continued the cage down through the rocker.

At the end of the lower bar I made another tie-in point for the lower portion of the rear tube frame.
The next step is to finish the lower section of the rear and weld up the rear suspension mounts.

I have the cage pretty much wrapped up. I ran out of mig wire so there are still a couple bits I need to finish.
Marc (Kelty360) stopped by today so I figured I would tidy things up and take the car off of it's semi-permanent bed of jackstands.

Awesome job as usual, Dana!

Simple question: how did you get the machined look in the bare metal? Wire wheel or another tool?

Thanks!

I knock the scale off of the tubing with a fine grid pad on a DA, as for the body it is "brushed" with tiny abrasive pads on an air powered angle grinder.
