Dana,

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


You know a 914 is close to 2000lbs stock right? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

I'd bet Dana is around 1,400lbs

Hey... PM sent. I can certainly use that trunk floor.

Thnks,

Clark


It is all yours, give me a day or two to box it up!


Awesome, Autograph is welcome. I'll do my best to keep it whole. I PM'd my number, just call and let's work out the details.

Clark


Thanks again....here is the autograph.

Today I broke down the car into its bare tub and rear chassis. I was surprised it only took a couple hours to pull the suspension, brake the car in half, and pull the engine.
With the extra time I gained I started stripping the remaining stock paint off of the tub in preparation for a couple coats of chassis primer and paint.
I like having a project you can lift onto jackstands with one hand...

Amazing as always Dana. You could always just pack up the Anklebiter and take it to PA as carry-on luggage.

Mee too, but part of me almost hates to see the metal get covered with color instead of clear. Always loved the clean metal look. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Great stuff Dana.

Crap Dana.

Please say "No" to Chip Foose when he calls, at least till you finish your Masters (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Awesome coverage...

This morning I tackled the under side of the tub. Using every jack, jackstand, and a system of levers and pulleys I got the tub resting on its side with minimal "sketchiness".
To lower the murphie's law factor I anchored the tub to the I-Beams holding up the rafters. It is actually pretty solid and makes working on the belly of the car really nice.

I started out by stripping off all of the old paint, then welded up the forty or so holes I had drilled in the floor to mount the old water lines and after market rockers.

Finally I sprayed on the first coat of primer. I am using the Eastwood chassis black paint system, I used it on a couple cars when I worked at Renegade, it is tough as nails and looks pretty good too. After this first coat I will apply a second coat of primer, then 2 finish coats of satin black.

Nice work Dana...Sure isn't the same car I rode in nearly 7 years ago.

That alone is a weekend for most people! How do you do it?

Did you clone yourself? I am fairly certain that if anyone on this board could, it would be you (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Please make this the East Coast debut of the Anklebiter!

Just realized you'll be out here in time for it.
