914World.com _ 914World Garage _ TINKERGINEERING BUMPER REMOVAL

Posted by: TINKERGINEERING Jun 21 2020, 12:47 PM

EPISODE 6 is here!
I can't wait to get these ugly bumpers off of the 914. You guys have seemed to like the stop motion sequences that I do so here are some behind the scenes of the process. I plan to backdate to the chrome bumpers and figure out how to make that happen.
I love this car and I love meeting great people along the way. 914 World community is so welcoming I have so many people to thank. THANK YOU ALL
Frances

Also, I just learned how to set my avatar

EPIC!

Sorry for shouting but you’re just too cool Frances. I fell in love with 914s in 1973 and it’s so exciting to see young enthusiasm catch the bug. I know you can’t drive, but have you ridden in a 914 yet?

One suggestion: consider the old school angle of bumpers painted body color instead of chrome. That’s how it was done in 1970-72 if the chrome option wasn’t selected. I think it’s a great look.

Let me know if I can help with any tool purchases.

Awesome! With all that enthusiasm and denim she could give Jay Leno a run for his money!

Great video- BTW, our 3 1/2 year old grandson loves riding in the 914. I think he loves the noise, wind, etc... He usually rode with his dad, and was bummed when I shipped it from IA to AZ.
Now he enjoys rides in any of the Porsches when he visits AZ, and yes he knows how to pronounce it!!!

Negative fill, what us old timers call Scrims ya whipper snapper. Gaul darned electronics, why in my day we had to run back and forth to trip the shutter.
So, when will Godzilla make an appearance?
Keep up the fun!

That was fun and informative. I too wondered how you do those sections of video where parts just come off by themselves. That's a lot of work to get those shots. But it is very cool to see things come apart like that. You are making great progress on your car and in no time it will be a stripped chassis. Keep up the good work and above all keep having fun. popcorn[1].gif

Good video! I’m going to backdate the bumpers on my ‘75 so it’s nice to see the details of taking the big bumpers off.
