This one of the best build threads I ever read.
All times a new idea with an excellent implementation
All your work is impressive.

I'm excited.

I got the major elements of the nose hinge done today.
I started out by fabricating the components needed to build the hinges I designed last weekend. I used nylon spacers to serve as a bearing, I also drilled out the centers of them to adapt the standard tubing to the metric hardware. The cotter pins allow the entire nose to be removed in a couple minutes at most.


Here is a shot of the nose closed, notice the perfect door gap, my biggest concern with this project was properly aligning the nose and I think I pulled it off.


Here is the hinge system with the nose closed, I will be adding hydraulic struts to the system next. Ultimately you will never see this view because the hood will be welded to the fenders.


The nose partially open.


The nose fully open.





Gotta say I'm pretty disappointed Dana. Your garage is looking a little cluttered these days. There's even some nuts, bolts and other assorted debris on the floor. what's up with that?

Dana - stay focused.

Excuse the pun, "don't get off" track, by focusing on accuators or STROKE!

I think that I suggested it a while back in this thread, but you should be on TV with this stuff. There are a handful of shows that I DVR not because I like what they are building, but just to watch the process, and your stuff is WAY cooler!

I did a ton of cutting and freed the rear fenders from the old frame rails. If anybody wants a fairly rust free chassis half let me know, you can have it as long as you pick it up.
It is shocking how much this weighs.

I started fitting the rear portion of the body to the car. it is really surprising to see how much open space I have back here!

Now that the rear portion of the body is mocked up the next task is to make the hinges to tilt it open.
It will be hinged from the back offering excellent access to the drivetrain, the lid will be welded to the fenders just like the front.

Any idea how much all that open space weighs?

Dana,

lars in boulder just bought his first teener
the longs are rusted, the hell hole is bad, and I think some of his pick up points are questionable...

if no one claims the rear xtra, I would like to claim it for him to use

Pretty soon people are going to stop building 914-6 clones and start building Anklebiter clones!

Dana,

Be sure to get the weight on that beast for comparison. You've gotta be close to 2000lbs or less.
