I'm restoring a 914-6 that was dipped many years ago, and then stored.
The process destroyed the heater tubes in the longs, but I'm working on both of those so replacing them is a given. Last weekend at Octeenerfest Bill Dunster (W Dunster) who is a rep for PPG suggested getting it re-dipped and e-coated. Sounds good to me, but there's some logistical challenges. The original plan was to do all the rust repair, and chassis stiffening then treat the car with my corrosion treatment process, which while good, not as good as getting the whole car e-coated. So if we were to proceed with e-coating, then of course stock paper heater tubes are off the table. This isn't a biggie, but as one who defaults to original build methods, I wonder about the trade offs of metal heater tubes; noise, heat loss, etc. Anyone out there have a 914 dipped or restore a dipped 914? Anyone have a 914 e-coated? |
