When I spoke of grinding your welds smooth this is an example of what I meant.
The rear wheel/axle arch is an often cracked area. You want to avoid "kerfs"....notches on the edges which concentrate stress. Smooth/faired welds are the cat's ass.

JP,

That looks nice and neat. I have been working towards that. Seam weld, sand,
go back and fill in any notches or porous welds. Repeat.

I finally started priming stuff to keep it from rusting while I work, but I know
I have more cleaning up to do.

Sorry if I jumped ahead too much..... the primer kinda threw me.
I used a rattle can etch primer made by RM for spot work. It is compatible with any build primer/topcoat I threw at it.

At any rate, a picture is worth a thousand wurds. Here's an ear. I coud have done a better job of it, I guess, but geting out from underneath the SOB became a higher priority.

John,
Here's an example of a redundant fuel system for you to look at for ideas:

I am so stoked to see another period picture of my car!!!

That is freaking awesome.

I would love more cool pictures like that.

Made a lot of progress on the car I need to post.

I think I see a black 914 in that video and maybe a silver one.

I finished seam welding and cleaning up the longs.

It is amazing how just a coat of primer makes the car look so much better
Great Job!

The black 914/6 in the Sebring video is the Zulkowski car now owned by Doug Wright

Hey Glenn,

I agree, once you get all the rust off and get it all one color it looks so much better.

I was wondering if the black 914 was your Hendricks car, wasn't it painted black at one time?

The Meaney/Hendricks car was Conda Green prior to silver.
The Zulkowski car was black all the way back to 1975 in the according to the SCCA log books

What do you call a wife who plants a kiss on your newly arrived engine?

You got that right!

Don't think I could ever go back to the non car appreciating kind!

I'd have to move a lot of parts out of our bedroom and living room. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

John,
The car looks great... Hope to have some serious progress on the body of my car when the weather breaks. Glad the nose piece was beneficial! Seems we have similar Wives... I think my wife wants the car done more than I do some days. It makes working on it more enjoyable though!
Keep up the great work!

That must be Di Lella Racing, the builder of the car!

You are the man, TC.

Any info on the photo or event?
