For those who followed my 914-6 conversion project and kept asking for updates... well, I didn't do much for a long time... between moving, hurricanes, and getting pissed off about the paint job... I just needed to sit on it.
Well, I'm in 914 project mode again... I spent about 8 hours today in the garage.. .(half the time was spent organizing my crap and organizing all my parts). I did some work to the shell. Nicked a lot of paint. It's getting redone soon. For those that want updates... check my BLOG... |

You should get some rubber wrenches so you don't chip the paint. Miles sells them.
'bout time you got going again! Geoff |

Make sure to get some of the left over paint from you painter to use for touch up. You'll need it.... Hopefully it will be needed only for small nicks in not highly visible places.
A tip that my painter gave me. - Run a bolt through all mounting nuts/nut plates that have paint on them prior to trying to install a part. This was great advice. It is much easier to install a part when the threads are clean. And less likelihood of cross threading. |

I am assembling things now, so that I have no surprises when it comes back. For example, I drilled the swaybar holes when the car was at the last body shop. I mocked everything up yesterday and some things were off, so I redrilled a few holes.
I also didn't have the Camp914 shock kit when the car was first painted. This way, when I get the car back, I won't have to drill more holes in fresh paint, or nick any new paint. I guess you can ask the guys at Orange County Choppers why the assemble their bikes before disassembling them and sending them to get painted and chromed!
