I got an email from Bill at Restoration Designs. Great information and pictures of the RD overlays. He read my http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?act=ST&f=2&t=1769 asking for installed pics but couldn't get the pics posted here so I wanted to post them. My body work guy uses RD and has nothing but great things to say about their product. I've heard the same thing from others as well. RD's parts will find a place in my project and I will post pics in my http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?act=ST&f=2&t=1191 when the work is performed.

Hey thanks. I was too lazy to do it. I much prefer them this way.

Call me at the house? I have a couple of questions.

Great pictures - thanks for posting them. Does Restoration Design have similar pictures for the repair of the typical engine compartment rust areas (engine tray, firewall, right-side upper and lower wheel house)?

Bill at restoration design is a great guy, really helpful, and seems genuinely interested in resurrecting our cars.


I bought all the repair pieces for my 911 from him...

I almost wish I had another basket case to restore

Awsome Pics! This is good info as I ripped into my project car and found that due to AIR having been installed, all the sill supports on the passenger side and the triangular support at the front had been removed. Also the OEM jack plate (w/ "drain hole") while seemingly intact was VERY rusty on the inside (hit it with an hammer and watch the rust pour out) These supports seem to be the answer.
But it looks like you have to replace the sill as well?

Just got off the phone with Bill (Still in his shop at almost 9:00 pm) Hell of a nice guy. Was all set to buy the frame stiffener from him, let him know what I had planned on doing and he ended up talking me out of buying this item and walked me through how he would do the fix (rust hole approx. 2"x 3" to the left of the jack receiver plate) You don't find alot of people in the business world that will take the time and give you this type of info without wanting you to buy something.

I know several of them ...

Brad,

you are right, I signed up for this board because of the quality of the people and the great advice.

thanks
Mike

Do you have the email address of Bill at Restoration Designs? I just made a frightening discovery in my car, and would like to send him a pic to get his thoughts as to what I need.
thanks

Post it here so we can see and maybe we can advise you, some of us here are pretty good welders.

OK, guys, how bout a little advice on which way to go on this car. Should I put the overlays on both sides, or just replace the right side longitudinal and jack points which are available from Rest. Design.

Right side Front -

I'm curious about the 'frame jig' that is in the pics from RD. Has anyone else used something like this? Where is it attached?

Replacing the longitudinals is a B I G job....I would attempt a clean up, POR 15 it and replace the jack points......it looks like that's all that is bad.

It depends on how bad the inside is.....
