I've decided to keep my wrecked red car until my new 74 2L 914 from Part Pricer is road ready.
I just needed to pound out a few dents to get Big Red back on the road. Here's a couple of before pics. Attached thumbnail(s)

Heat will shrink the metal. Ask JP about how his car flexed a little when he welded in his roll cage. John Kelly (sp?) sells a "shrinking disk", which seems to be a large copper or copper-coated disk that you chuck into your drill and then spin against whatever metal you want shrunk. The friction heats the metal and shrinks it. (Going from memory, but I think that was what it was.)
The "rear trunk latch cam" should be available from most of the usual parts places. Hmmm... OK, it doesn't seem to be available from us, for whatever reason. I believe that Weltmeister makes a nylon version; we ought to be able to get it I would think. If not, I'm sure the "other" PP place in L.A. can--and GPR probably can as well. Or PartPricer? --DD |
