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. |

I am glad to share this with everyone. I have loved the 914s since I first saw them when I was 14. It was a Silver 914/6 that was in a road and track magazine I think. I never would have dreamed that 12 years later I would be stamping out Porsche parts and working on keeping these cars on the road. Although my car has yet to see the road. Thats been a work in progress since i was 18...
