Even more awesome! That idea is great. I was thinking of running locks and poppers through an alarm system myself...but I also need windows and locks cause I plan on traveling when I finally saw off the rotisserie and reattach the suspension!!

That's a very cool design feature with the doors. It's evident you have a clear vision of what you want to achieve. Most achitectural/engineering type do. Keep it up.

Almost forgot - congrats on the graduation!

No fun work today, just cleaning up the tub in preparation for paint, I want to fill every unused hole in the tub before it gets sprayed.

Since I had to tunnel through this part of the long for the coolant hoses I figured it would be good to add some metal back into this area.

Since I was working in the area I decided to cleanup and patch any holes in the longs I had created when I removed the heater ducting.

Everything is welded, it is reassuring to find it harder and harder to find projects to do before the chassis is ready to paint!

Hey everybody! I just wanted to check in, I haven't been able to work on the car for a while. I am working full time at an architecture firm in downtown Boulder, so "Garage Time" has been at a minimum. And on a professional note I also want to add that I got accepted to Penn's Architecture Graduate Program! I am not sure how that will effect the Anklebiter, I do know this will be an excuse to get it as complete as I can if I have to store it until I get settled somewhere. Anyway here is a current pic to tide you over, I will try to get in some time this weekend, the drivetrain half of the car only needs about a days worth of work before it will be complete.

Hmmm, maybe you could even lend your expertise to Scotty, Zach and Doc on their racer build - show'em how's it's done from a tube frame point of view.

Don't forget to post pictures if you guys become "The 4 Horsemen of the Apocolypse"

I got a little time today to pretty much wrap up the rear portion of the car.
I started off by bending and mounting the fuel return line.

Then I made the bracket for the coolant overflow tank.

I bought a "WeaponR" aluminum import tank, cheap and reasonable build quality.

Finally I made a mount for the intake system, I welded a bung into the tubeframe and tied the airfilter adapter into that.

That is without question the most atractive & tastefulll departure from the 914 style I have ever seen!!
Well now that I have started a 916 look alike I want this look .
Many an afternoon has been spent looking at the rear of the 914 and 914/6 and wondering as I would doodle a fast back or slope or just think "what is this car missing?" was the question in my mind -You have the answer & wowthat is agood answer!! what would it cost to duplicate thismost attractice creation you Fu*@#$% Brilliant .This is way @#$%*&!! COOL!

Thanks! My long term plan has been to weld up a perfect steel body, get it through paint then take a mold of it. Then I could make lightweight 'glass or carbon kits, give me 10 years and I'll sell you a carbon Anklebiter!

I won't be leaving until the fall so we have plenty of time to plan a get together, definitely going to be hitting up C&C this spring and summer so I will be around.

Also totally off topic: Anybody know of decent neighborhoods near Philly to rent a small house with a garage? The wife and I will be heading out for the Penn open house at the end of the month and I want to scout possible rentals.

I have close friends in Carlisle who are moving soon back to DC area. They have a small house and garage - upscale, but I'll ask for details. Give me a week.

Well it looks like I am going to Penn! We will be moving to Philly in August, I am looking forward to meeting the East Coast contingent of the club!
Since we are moving I had a decision to make with the 914, I could store it in boxes at my in-laws house in Wyoming, or I could just go for it and try to hammer it out by the end of July.
If it is a fully functioning car I have a much better chance of my wife letting me bring it along. I am taking 6 weeks off this summer to get us boxed up and get the car done. Look for lots of progress in the coming months!

Last weekend I finished the rear portion of the brake lines.

Here is a look at the front of the engine.

I also started fitting the nose to the chassis.
It is an almost perfect fit, I will be welding up the tilt nose soon!

plymouth37,

Congratulations on your Architect career (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) Your Anklebiter project is outstanding and beautiful. I love the look.

BTW: Wondering where the headlights will go?? I hope you keep them in the stock location, my opinion, but it's your choice.

Tom
