It's HERE! This is the announcement for the launch of "The Lee Cyr 914 Memorial Build Off Classic" Yep, No acronym for that one. The event title is a mouth full but it's a special event.

In case you have been under a rock or without the 914world in your life for the last several months Lee Cyr (Sear) was the brother of Mary Shortridge and a 914 enthusiust. Lee was invloved in a fatal automobile accident last December. Marys family decided to restore Lees 914 and keep it in the family in his memory.

Many of us wanted to help Mary and her family complete the work on Lees car. Parts donations have been pouring in from all corners of the 914World.

Now is the time to take this generosity to the next level. A small band of 914 Brothers have been working behind the scenes to take your efforts to the next level.

This is an opportunity for all you 914World members to really show your stuff. This World event is being held in Garden City Kansas February 19-21, 2010! There will be one special 914 there so no need for you all to bring your own.

We have an unbelievable location for the build off. A 3000 sq. play house owned by a car guy. It has a full work shop, kitchenette, and showroom.

The event starts Friday as soon as you can arrive! The usual meet and greet will take place on into the wee hours.

Some of the build off will likely start Friday night. The more we get done Friday the sooner we will accomplish our goal which is to have Buttercup completed by Sunday morning.

We have other events planned throughout the day so don't worry about being bored.


Event Location:

Garden City, Kansas

When:

The event actually takes place on two different dates. So there is plenty of opportunity for everyone to contribute. Starting the weeekend of Friday January 29th we want to send in a recon team to move the car from it's present location at the body shop with all the parts and pieces to the Build Off location. Once there we will have tables set up to set out parts and organize them in groups for the build. This will involve completing an inventory to be sure the Build Off event can be completed in February. This will be the least glamorous but most important part of the event. If you can't make the February Build Off and would still like to contribute contact Rick via PM.

The Main Event!:

The meet and greet starts as soon as we arrive Friday February 19 at one of the coolest man caves you will ever witness in person. (see the photos)

Purpose of the event:

To support Mary Shortridge and her family and help complete the work they started. We will likely start assembling this special car Friday night to get a jump on Saturday's Build Off. The goal is to have a Running and driving car in 24 hours.

Hotel Info:

Clarion
Amro Samy, manager/Owner
1911 E Kansas Ave , Garden City, KS, US, 67846
Phone: (620) 275-7471
$75 + tax for room with 2 queen beds (Normally $109+)

Free Airport Transportation and maybe to/from Luke's from the hotel
Free Breakfast

Free Soup/Salad each evening
On-site Restaurant and Bar

We are checking to see if we have to ask for the special rate by name.

Event sign up:

Our own Mike Moorman (Kansas 914) and Wayne Fry (Tat2dphreak) are just completing an online form for your convience. It will be up and running tomorrow and posted here.

Event Cost:

First, there are two ways to support this event and see to it that the costs are covered. If you can't attend but still want to be part of this World event you can simply support the event by donation. We are doing this because of the short lead time to get this up and running. Donations can be made by Paypal to: edwardblume@gmail.com managed by Rob Ways (RobW), or by check / mail to Mike Moorman (Kansas 914). See this post for more info: http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=101613

Second, The event itself will have an entry fee of $35 which will include a tribute T-shirt, games, and other extras. Additionally, T-shirts will be available for non-attendees for a short time period for $25. Please be patient the online form is nearing completion. Again, all proceeds above the costs of the event will go to Lee's passion, NET radio.


This is a winter event. If your car is on jack stands it doesn't matter. This is your change to get in the daily driver and come out to support a great cause and meet some of the people you chat with on line everyday. Let's make this a big success!

I am HOPING that my bus will be ready. I just looked and if i can do the OH clinic right before this, it is about 15 hrs from Cinci or Dayton which is doable. However, I like flying and not having to drive back. I am not against a road trip, though. There is time to scheme.

We wont need it....just an analog ohm/volt meter.
I will do the build....please try and make sure there is some QC on the parts so we dont need to do an emergency hunt for an MPS or something simple like that...

I am thinking that maybe I will UPS a box of spares ahead of me....just in case.

Thanks Great! Without the recon mission in January the Build Off will not be possible.

I *really* would like to be able to come to this, but there is no way. I am 4 classes from being done, and then I can be social again. My only real car related getaway before September of 2010 is going to be Hershey - and that will be heavily dependent on workload.

Mike and I were talking about this event today while we worked on various projects. Its going to be pretty damn cool.

IF I find that my classes are easy, I may try and go, but right now I just don't think its going to happen.

You can mark me as confirmed for January. I'm as confirmed as I'm going to get. I have every intention of being there. The only thing that will change that is a new job and can't get away that Friday. Which would only mean I'd be there Saturday morning after driving all night to get there.

Many of you have never been to an event because your car wasn't running or it was too far, or your boss wouldn't give you the time off.

Well, you don't need your car there. We'll have one there we can all share for the weekend.

The event is centrally located for some.

And everyone deserves a day or two off of work to meet new and old friends and be part of something bigger than all of us. Come on!

Well, We didn't intend to make you all wait for the T Shirt design soooo looong, but we have kind of a process we go through to get where we want to be here.

There were several design entries. Were sure you will not only approve of our final cut but we know you will want one of these limited edition shirts.




First I want to congradulate Paul Bellefleur for the winning design and then express my sincerest graditude for his entry. Paul is a very good friend and a local minnesotian. If you want to send Paul a note and thank him for the design just pm him. In case you haven't figured out who I'm refering to yet his screen name here is Lotus_65

The shirts will be done by Jaime Mejia (oldschool) He has done shirts for other events here and really makes this type of thing possible.

Thank you both!

The event itself will have an entry fee of $35 which will include a tribute T-shirt, games, and other extras. Additionally, T-shirts will be available for non-attendees for a short time period for $25. Please be patient the online form is nearing completion.

Is there going to be a build plan? Or will it more be a "show up and make it happen" type deal. Do we know what the state of the components that need to be assembled are? Is there a list for things that still need to be acquired?'

Also, did the tub recently get painted? The paint looks *really* good on it.

Bump

Imagine being a 914 sitting out in a field... decaying, its rolling days long gone. Your owner gone. Then someone shows up with a flatbed, adds air to your flat tires, finds a solid place for the wench to attach. Rust is falling off and you don't know where you are heading...

Hours later, someone is walking around you figuring out how to bring you back to life. Pieces start coming off, items marked, things being organized.

Days, weeks, months go by.. paint, metal, bondo... A shiny new motor is installed. All your pieces refreshed, so you will see the road soon... again. Just like coming from the factory.. but now better, because you are a survivor.

Every 914 has a history.. a story.

Lee Cyr loved his car, but not as much as his family. In his memory, Mary Shortridge will drive his restored and completed 914 in Garden City Kansas.

Imagine being a 914 sitting out in a field... decaying, its rolling days long gone. Your owner gone. Then someone shows up with a flatbed, adds air to your flat tires, finds a solid place for the wench to attach. Rust is falling off and you don't know where you are heading...

Hours later, someone is walking around you figuring out how to bring you back to life. Pieces start coming off, items marked, things being organized.

Days, weeks, months go by.. paint, metal, bondo... A shiny new motor is installed. All your pieces refreshed, so you will see the road soon... again. Just like coming from the factory.. but now better, because you are a survivor.

Every 914 has a history.. a story.

Lee Cyr loved his car, but not as much as his family. In his memory, Mary Shortridge will drive his restored and completed 914 in Garden City Kansas.

914 friends coming together to make a very special thing happen. You don't need mad skills, you don't need to show up in your 914, you don't even have to own a 914. All you need is a vacation day from work on Friday and maybe monday.


We will need people to help clean parts, prepare food, run the RC AutoX and just hang out for the best feeling a group of humans can have while in the same room. (keep it clean people.... )

Will you be there?

Ya,

These are limited edition shirts. These will only be available for a limited time.

The designed was done for us by lotus_65 (Paul) and the printing is being done by oldschool (Jaime) Both are members here. That's how we want to roll!

You can help out with the build either by getting a limited edition shirt or you can come down and be part of something we will likely not see here again.

Sign up form for both the shirts and the event are here:

Hi Mike,

Thanks a million for the offer.

The parts needed site has been running since August - click on the link in my signature. I would like to add that Rick-928S, Gint and I are going to do a recon mission at the end of January to get a better list of what is truly left to secure for the build. It might be best to wait until then as it will be the "real" list.

Thanks!

Yep it's true. Not only have we been honored with the likes of our own Dr. Evil and his mad skills, we have enlisted another one of the 914 crazys from the east side. This guy is a Porsche/VW trained life long mechanic. He recently retired from his dealership job to work at a 914 (and other Porsche/VW) shops. Infact he works for Chris Foley!

Ed Morrow agreed to come out and help us make sure that Buttercup is not only put back together correctly but just as importantly, safely. With Ed and Dr. Evil there we will have a solid foundation for a successful build!

Anyone that is on the fence here needs to find a way to join us for this fun and special event.

Ed has traveled to and attended more 914World events than I think anyone here. He has traveled across country from shore to shore.

If he can do, you can do it!

"This is going to be an informative build as well as great cause."

If this is a crazy idea, somebody let me know... but has anybody given any thought to the potential teaching/informative aspects of this event?

What kind of internet connectivity do they have at the shop? Maybe a webcam (or multiple webcams), people narrating what's going on, somebody sitting at a notebook taking questions posted by those of us that can't be there and answers coming from those of you that are working on Buttercup? Video saved for posterity?

Besides this being such a great cause, it could turn into quite the learning opportunity and a chance for the rest of us to feel like we're almost there with you guys!

I know that the site has Internet - whether it has wireless is another story. We will know more after the recon trip later this month. Even with Internet some folks are leary of allowing any port forwarding on the router and other outside access.

Well, she didn't make the road trip. In fact, she never made it out of town nor did she make it back home. She is actually spending the night on the side of the interstate under a bridge. If she is still there in the morning I will attempt to fix her. If she isn't, I will simply file an insurance claim.

Hay Wayne. This is a wild hare idea...let me know if you think it'd work.

I've been reading this thread since inception knowing I couldn't go. New job started last week and I can't get off on Friday. At the worst, I'm looking forward to the web cam being online to watch

If you're in the same boat on time....
Google maps shows a 10 hour drive. We take the back seats out of my minivan and throw in a blow up airmatress. Watch it guys! Leave out of here Friday after work and be there Saturday am. Drive in shifts and sleep on the way. About $60 each for gas round trip. Get a cheap motel somewhere for Sat. night, or sleep in the truck/shop. Leave out of there Sunday am.

Just an idea.. Bill

Either car is ok. I get about 24 on the hwy. U pick. I probably can't get out the door on Friday until 4-5ish and need to be back by at least 10-11 on Sunday night and 8am Work on Monday and no time to recoop.

If only we knew a benefactor with an airplane.

If you pay for the block time plane rental, I will do the flying. (Yes, I have a license......)

The average light plane will cut 50% off the travel time. If this is a 10 hour drive, it would be 5 hours in the plane. Faster is more expensive to rent.

I've a friend with a Viking and it's about $600 round trip on a quick estimate just for fuel. Add tiedown, oil etc. and transportation costs are toooo much for me. Plane rental + fuel = ticket on America.

Thanks very very much Mary, I will let you know when they arrive. I took the car on a 400 mile run this weekend and she performed awesomely. Definitely needs the struts though but other than a bulb and some headlights that like to turn themselves off once in awhile it was a pretty good trip. Also RobW has felt the desire to bump me from Rick's double dog dare up to a triple dog dare. It looks so far like there will be at least one other 914 in attendance other than Buttercup!

We're trying to figure out exactly where these bright/fuzzy strips go. Obviously a left and right with a slight curve.

Posted by: Dr Evil Jan 30 2010, 02:42 PM

Those go in the door on the outside of the window. The fuzzy strips are very expensive for what they are (Like $70 ea). They are to clean and protect the window. There are like 3 screws (that are usually rusted to poo) that go through the fuzz and hold the assembly on. They suck to install if the window is in place. The channel on top is for the window squeeqie seal.

Posted by: Dr Evil Jan 30 2010, 02:52 PM

The fuzzy part is # 914-531-957-10-OEM at Pelican and are $64.50 ea.

Mike (Doc Evil), Mike, (Kansas 914) asks; "Do you have the steering wheel as well as the column?"

I think you guys are confusing the bottom part with the top pictured on top. We're trying to identify the top part.

Posted by: Dr Evil Jan 30 2010, 03:36 PM

I still believe it is a door part.

I do not have the steering wheel, just the column assembly and I need a TS switch assembly still.

I also have the better drain plugs for her transmission

I just got home from the build site and I must say it is going to be an exciting build.

Rick Ollah and Mike Ginter are amazing and we made great progress during the recon mission and the build should hit the streets running!

The engine and transaxle were delivered while we were there Saturday - just aching to be installed.

Just a few VERY short weeks left. Keep an eye on this thread for an updated parts needed list!

Posted by: Gint Jan 31 2010, 01:38 PM

We just got home 30 minutes ago. Just a shade over 5 hours from here. Not bad at all. We're going to watch the end of Daytona and then look at that window chanel fuzzy piece on my 914. Now where's that picture...

Saturday was an absolute BLAST, watching Rick, Mike and Mike make sense out of all those boxes of parts. And fire was exciting, too! Luke polished parts like crazy. This little car'll shine! A HUGE THANK YOU for everyone's time and talent on this project.

Posted by: rick 918-S Jan 31 2010, 01:46 PM

I have compiled quite a list of things that need to be done prior to the event. I will get the info posted by Tuesday evening.

Rick and I looked at my car this afternoon. The part we originally asked about in this thread probably doesn't even belong to Mary's car. We can't find one like it on my car at all. Mike's (Kirmizi) pic shows the inner fuzzy. It does not have any brightwork on it and all years use the same part I believe.

Posted by: Gint Feb 3 2010, 10:22 PM

I had to come looking for it anyway.

Rick I don't want to edit your doc. Too many people updating a doc can be a big PITA.

I bumped this thread a day or so ago for the fresh air hoses. http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=70055
They are VW part numbers. Mary was going to see if she could pick these up at her trip to a VW parts establishment somewhere in Kansas (I forgot exactly where). The large tube fits from the air diverter valve into the interior.

Small tube - Bug - 113-255-291-DE
Large tube - Bus - 211-261-236

She also needs the lower targa seal, number 28, part #914 563 319 10. Not a show stopper, but the one she has has a major crack (almost in two pieces). As far as I know thay are still available, but I'm not sure if you have to go to Porsche or not.

Posted by: Dr Evil Feb 3 2010, 10:29 PM

This weekend may be fruitful for me as far as finding some parts We shall see.

Build Off Notes

Bumper Section:

Mary to clean and paint fog light grilles

Mary to source the clips and screws for the fog light grilles

Parts needed:

Front and Rear Bumper Tops.
The ones at the shop are really not usable. The fasteners are rusted and snapped off.

Bumper Impact Guards:

Quantity 4 The ones at the garage have broken studs. February 4th update Two coming from (Kirmizi) Mike

New Qnty Bumper Guards needed Two



Dog Bones:

Need Two
Need attaching bolts. (hardware store item)


Front Lamp and Front Section:

Headlights:
Trim ring screws Qty: 6
Mary to locate these at an autobody supply store.
If not available sheet metal screw can be substituted at the last minute from the hardware store.

Mary to clean and paint the retractors and headlamp buckets grey. The hinges bolts and back up plates are with the headlamp units.

Need headlamp eyebrow rubber stay. We have 5 we need 6

Running Lights:

The lamps need to be cleaned. New bulbs should be sourced. FLAPS (Friendly local auto parts store)

Need one Amber Lens

Side Lights:

Minimum the gaskets are in very poor condition and need to be replaced. Unknown if these are available but good used should be.

Wiring looked good.
Horn:

Tested good

Cowl Blower:

Motor tested good


Need grommet for the driver side hose where it passes through the cowl.
Both sizes of cardboard hose. Mike G to source the part numbers.

Wiper Transmission:

Motor tested good, transmission not seized ready to install.

We need one black plastic weather cover for the jamb nut.

Washer squirters and hose intact

Seals:

Hood seal

Gas tank bulkhead seal

Gas Tank:

Mary to get the tank powder coated or painted along with the filler neck and expansion tank.

The filler neck gasket was with the filler neck as well as the bolts. The gasket looked to be cleanable and usable if a new one is not readily available. Also the float assembly is at the shop but was not tested.

Parts:

Need a Filter Sock February 4th from (Kirmizi) Mike

We need the clear plastic overflow tube

The cloth wrapped hose that goes from the expansion tank to the filler neck.

Sealant for the filler neck gasket float gasket and bolts. (question for Ed)

1/4 “ rubber in place of felt gas tank pads.

Fuel Line:

Fuel injection acceptable rubber fuel line. Can be sourced locally at the FLAPS.

Note: I’m concerned about the current hard lines installed in the tunnel. There are large compression nuts that require a flared fitting to be connected. These may cause clearance problems and possibly be hard to seal resulting in a fuel leak. I would suggest getting a line kit
from Chris Foley or someone that has a track record and has sourced the correct size and length lines with the correct bends to clear the engine as they exit the lower bulkhead.

Need the cloth wrapped hose that connected the charcoal canister to the engine. Several sections that connect the hard plastic vent hose sections.

Fuel Pump:

Tested good

Note: The pump was relocated to the front spare tire well at some point. It will need to either be moved to the back of the car or under the gas tank. I believe there was a mounting bracket but the isolators were broken as usual. Depending on what decision is made about where the pump will be located there will need to be wiring and fuel lines run. The is wire in Luke’s shop and a FLATS close by for hose and fuel injection clamps.


Brakes & Front Suspension

Need the brake reservoir.

Need to bleed the brakes. There are new lines in place.

Need Brake fluid.

Need Turbo Tie rod set. Need tools to change the tie rods.

Need dust boots for the struts. (missing)

Need to check all fasteners and set alignment with a tape measure.

Dash and Controls Section:

Need the heater control. The one in the car is bent and rusted.

There is a new fuse panel that needs to be swapped in.

The dash top and the upper and lower pad have been recovered. There is a filler strip that goes at the base of the windshield.

The one issue that may hamper the installation of the dash are the fasteners. I would suggest having people bring their bucket of bolts from a 914 car teardown if their driving. We need some missing fasteners.

Dr. Evil has the steering column.

The steering wheel is at the shop.

The gauges are at the shop.

Someone is sending a peddle set.

There is a throttle and Speedo cable at the garage. Is there a clutch cable?

Tunnel Floor

Need the piece of sheet metal for the shift rod firewall bushing. The new lower firewall did not have the shift rod bushing piece installed. This is normally welded in before the firewall is closed in. This will need to be fit and riveted in.

There may have to be a modification made to the length of tube sticking out of the fire will for the clutch cable. Also there will need to be some urethane calk used around the exiting tubes to seal the firewall.

Urethane calk can be purchased locally at the FLAPS.

Need the cable for the heater lever connected to the flapper door heater boxes.

Note: You may need to find a way to secure the heater lever cable tubes inside the tunnel. They are loose inside the tunnel.

Cone screws for the shifter.

Wiring looks to be strung correctly.

Note: The fuel lines are an issue as stated above.

Need the Pedal board (missing)

Need Dynamat for the floor and firewall.

The clutch tube may need to be repaired prior to installing the engine.

Need the heater cable

Windshield –Cockpit Weather Stripping

Need 5/6 setting tape and setting blocks.
There is windshield clips for the trim in place on the frame already.

The windshield trim is at the shop but will need to be carefully straightened.

There is a lower targa seal (top of the windshield frame under the three piece seal.) that is ripped in half.

The right “A” pillar trim that holds the rubber is missing.

I think door rubber is useable if it’s cleaned up. There are flecks of rust stuck to the rubber but they could be removed and cleaned off.

The body rubber in the door openings needs to be replaced.
I didn’t check the vertical glass seal on the targa bar.

Need one latch pillar vent. (round grille)

Doors

Need the left outer door handle.

Outer window belt line trim:

Mary to locate screws. Qty 6

I gave her a sample.

Need Right and Left side felt strips

Need the outer rubber wiper

Need the inner felt at the belt line.

The vent window rubber is in poor shape. These may be ok to install as is but this isn’t a part that is easy to change later. I would suggest replacing this part while the doors apart.

Mark is now reproducing these.

Need door jamb striker plate screws. Missing two.

Targa Bar

Targa bar rear trim is dented and painted black.

Need at least the vertical pieces with the trim screw. The lower securing clip is on the damaged trim in case the used replacement pieces don’t have the clip.

Need the setting tape and rubber blocks for the back glass.

Anyone see the rubber seal that locks into the base of the rear window and seals the engine lid?

The interior pads were recovered.

Engine and Transaxle

Need a vacuum line kit

Need to change the alternator. There is a better one in the garage.

Need exhaust nuts, copper flange gaskets and muffler gaskets

Need the flapper boxes for the heat exchangers

There is a good “T” bearing in the garage.

Need oil and transaxle lube.

Need axle flange gaskets.

There is a starter in the garage.

There is a new alternator wiring harness in the garage

Mary sent the ECU and harness to Jeff B to be tested.

Cheese head screws

There is a rust hole in the engine tin.
Need the left front corner piece of tin

Posted by: Kirmizi Feb 4 2010, 12:20 AM

Rick, on the parts needed list...
Bumper guards? Tits, yes?
Got a pair with solid studs. Driver's side has a 1" split along front/top.
Filter sock, strainer inside the tank? Got a new one sitting here.
I've also got a pair of late model (black) windshield squirters. No hose.
Let me know, I can snap some pics if you want.
They're yours if you want.
How bout the starter in the shop, is it good?
Mike

Very cool! Hey Paul (lotus_65) did a google doc Spread sheet for us. Thanks Paul!


Anyone can access it and up date it. Contrary to popular belief I do have a job and need to work. This is a great way for everyone to make and track their own efforts to make this happen.

Here's my thought. I will post the link. If you have a contribution go ahead and post it here AND on the spread sheet. There are columns for tracking the part you are sending, your name, your screen name, the date you shipped the part and the method used to ship.

This will allow everyone to get on board. We have had some great effort already since the recon mission. I think after a week we will need to close down the spread sheet and send Mary a final parts order list. We need to allow plenty of time for shipping.

Thanks everyone for making a difference!

Posted by: Mary Shortridge Feb 4 2010, 05:16 PM

I have been so excited with the recent progress, but now I see Rick's list....oh, my.
A bit more info I can provide:
I have an email in regarding purchasing front and rear bumper tops. Website only listed one, not both...I am keeping my fingers crossed for a positive, quick response and will get them ordered ASAP.
I do have a new clutch cable (I heard you should carry spare cables!)
I am almost positive I bought dust boots for the struts: I'll check my invoices and do some digging. I suspect there are still some parts at the body shop.
I got the dynamat (or equiv) ordered from our local car audio guy. I should be able to get the "tub" done next week, he suggests leaving the doors for last.
Months ago I bought a part to repair the door handle....I'll look for that as well, when I get back to Kansas.
I bought the small diameter paper/aluminum hose locally, and am planning on a trip to a VW parts counter tomorrow for the larger size. I have the actual hose with me to HOPEFULLY avoid confusion. The telephone call with part number wasn't too successful....
I can't thank you all enough. I do promise that when I am not working on dynamat, or polishing parts in the next few weeks, I will be stockpiling cookies! And you haven't tasted my homemade bierocks! I also have barbecued beef and homemade chili planned. We plan a buffet of local Mexican food. I promise I'll feed you some great Kansas food, and you won't go hungry!
Thanks a million....

Mary,

You mentioned last Saturday that you'd like to upgrade to chrome bumpers, perhaps in the future. There are two new classified ads here for early front and rear bumpers that include bumper tops and fog light grills. They are a bit spendy at $400 each, but I thought I would point it out to you so you could have a look and determine if it's something you wanted to do right now. If you're interested I would ask for more pictures to verify the condition of the bumper tops. If you went this route it would also eliminate the need for bumper tops and pads.

Hi Shoe,

Do you have the flappers (right and left) that attach to the heat excahnegrs - Mary's are MIA...

SInce you were double (or trible) dog dared it might be owrth a doubel or triple batch of cookies. Did you hear about the ginger snaps??

Got the struts you sent installed today Mary. Valve adjustment next week and a little tweaking and she is on her way to Garden City. Just in case you are wondering, the car in my avtar is the one I will be arriving in.

Posted by: klink Feb 6 2010, 08:49 PM

I checked the 'need list' and I think the injectors have been removed from the list. So I'm guessing you have a good set of injectors. If not, let me know. I've got some front bumper top rubbers, but they're not perfect. But if you need them let me know. I am a little amazed at how this project has grown legs. If everybody does just a little we could accomplish something great. Oh, and by the way, you guys that are on the front line of this project, you should be proud of yourselves.

I will try to add a pic of the items I scored today later after the game. I did notice a couple of other items that I should have grabbed. Sorry, hard to concentrate when you leave a pissy red headed woman in the truck for an hour while you dig through parts. Just reminds me of why I choose to stay single.

Carrie, I have the 4 copper gaskets sitting right here if you don't already have them.

Donald,

That's great. I was going to get the copper gaskets tomorrow because I couldn't find where the spares went. It must be the opossums, fault.

Have the CV bolt washers been gotten? We have the oil and transmission fluid. The oil is a case of Brad Penn and the transmission fluid is SwepCo 201.

It might be easier for someone to pick it up on their way to the event instead of shipping it.

I also have a complete set of bolts/nuts/tabs for the dash I'm looking for to bring. Just have to find which bucket they're in.

My Dad and I found a shortcut around Dodge City because we both dislike it a lot.

Going to Mary's from Wichita, turn onto Saddle Rd/Fort Ensign Rd at Ford and Take it all the way to Ensign. Merge onto Highway 56. You'll be going LEFT (gentle Southwest curve). Turn NORTH onto Highway 23. At Cimarron, turn back onto Highway 400/50 going West.

Got Skype on that laptop? That makes it easy but is limited to a single remote connection at a time.

I will bring a laptop with webcam as well. There is wireless in the building but the router is a long way away and a stee wall between the two makes getting a signal an issue.

There is a small chance I can get a camera web server with 4 cameras on the router and port forward it. That unit allows 25 or so simultaneous users but really likes a static IP (maybe a little DDNS program will solve that)

Seal atop the windshield under the targa seal.
L and R door window felt strips
Side marker gaskets


Mark (Mikey914) said he is sending a care package of seals and that he would have bumper tops for front and rear next week. Not sure if in time, but they are not necessary to make the car go. I will be happy if only non essential stuff is left that Mary can do with our guidance However, I am shooting for completion.

I'll bring alone #3. Mine are dented some, but we can pick the best of the pair. #8 rubber spacer is just that. Pick up a box of assorted rubber faucet washers or some small rubber hose and we can build up a rubber block out of that.

Anyone thinking of an alternate spring time date..just in case..and how far ahead will it be called in case of impassable weather? We're picking up 6" of snow today. I've not seen this much snow here since the 70's. It's the curse of global warming thank you Mr Gore !

Just checked the forecast for next weekend. Temps in the mid to upper 40s. Sunshine on Saturday! (only a 10% chance of a 4 letter word on Friday)
I'm glad we don't live on the east coast... they may be digging out for the next month.....

Does anyone have one of the rubber parts that hold the eyebrow to the body? The eyebrow is #9 in the picture below and uses 2 on one side and 1 on the narrower side. 3 are needed for each eyebrow (total of 6) and we have 5...



Thanks!

I got the gas tank and accessories back from the powder coat shop. They look FABULOUS! And I learned how to use the beadblaster booth yesterday. I had a BLAST! I may have found a new hobby......

Anyone out there with know how on setting up a web cam link, I can set up my laptop with camera and just turn it on for the viewing audience.

Got Skype on that laptop? That makes it easy but is limited to a single remote connection at a time.

I will bring a laptop with webcam as well. There is wireless in the building but the router is a long way away and a stee wall between the two makes getting a signal an issue.

There is a small chance I can get a camera web server with 4 cameras on the router and port forward it. That unit allows 25 or so simultaneous users but really likes a static IP (maybe a little DDNS program will solve that)

I might have 2 used ones - no promise though. We will also need the right metric allen wrench - is it 4mm? I think I left my metric allen wrenches at the build site last visit so they might be there - but I have a feeling the 4mm is missing from my set. We could get one at a hardware store if needed - but not the cone screws...

Sorry for the confusion on the cone screws. I am pretty sure I found them. I was at the shop all day and missed the posts. Thanks so VERY much for everyone's work on that.
Today I got the insulation/sound proofing installed for the most part. It is supposed to help with heat! It was harder than I thought in some respects, and easier in other ways. The worst part is the skin it peeled off my fingertips by the end of the day. They recommended cotton gloves.... nah!!!!!!!!!!! (note my seat hardware, freshly beadblasted and sparkly clean!!!!!)
I'll also attach a photo of the dash pad that Fernando just finished. It is beautiful! He still has the back for the firewall, but swears it'll be done by Thursday.
Things are hopping! Sun is shining, and it's been in the mid forties! Looking forward to the Build!!!!

Tomorrow I pick my car up from the shop after work. Then I have to stock it with parts, tools and emergency rations. Thursday night I will put more miles on it on the way to Garden City than I have put on it since I've owned it. Taking a blanket with me and a roll of weather stripping in an effort to seal the air leaks in an attempt to stay warm. Still have headlight problems but what the hell, I am taking 2 flashlights just in case. I will also have a floorjack and 2 jack stands and tools. I believe I will be okay. Renewed my AAA membership today and made sure my cell phone bill was paid up. It is time to and . See you all Friday morning some time or other.

Just talked to Donald. He's about a half an hour from Oklahoma rolling along about 85 mph. The car is running fine. If the build team has time I think he could use a hand with his head lights. They are working but not aimed very well. I've driven the Alien all night long before head light are a good thing.

Be safe Donald!

310 miles down, 495 miles to go. Cutting a trail through Oklahoma now!

First test video from the build site. This is about 2 hours of work we did after we ate dinner. All the work was being done in the engine compartment fixing some firewall "plumbing" issues.

Enjoy - real noticeable progress Friday!

615 miles down, 189 more to go. Running a little behind. Had to go back & pick up the pieces of my car that fell off.

It's like you guys are barely moving in the video? Common Pick up the Pace
Update the parts list before Wayne and I leave tonight, to see if there's anything else we can find to bring.

Happy Wrenching!

Just talked to Don....He is a couple hundred miles away....He had some windshield trim blown off by a 18 wheeler coming the opposite direction and had to stop and retrieve it....Said he was looking for a place to get out and "wake up". That incident did the job plus having to find the missing trim.....He does though need to fix his left headlight as it is pointing down.

Had a little over an hour delay getting out of Denver last night. It was snowing really hard, and we had to wait in the de-ice line. And the snow we left in Denver is supposed to come here by tonight.

I am sitting in the business center at the hotel (and pissed because the hotel doesn't have wired internet in the rooms). I have no idea how to get to where buttercup is, so I guess I have to loiter here until someone comes and finds me.



Cell is 817-360-4067.


I have a surprise for Mary, but it is coming up with Bill and Wayne, I couldn't bring it on the plane.

I think it should be made a strict requirement that this exact same quote be uttered by at least one participant at any and every 914 event ever held from here on out!!!

Somebody tell Clay to check his cell voice mail and/or his PM's here on the board.

I'm not going to make it. I still feel crappy enough from this cold to drive through snow/freezing drizzle both ways 700+ miles. I was only going to be there for just Saturday anyway. I'm with ya in spirit gang! I'm going to miss more ginger snaps.
