I built the lightest 914 in the history of mankind.  Group: Members Posts: 120,983 Joined: 3-February 03 From: Jacksonville, FL Member No.: 222 Region Association: None  |
Work continues:
I started to fabricate the hood extention which replaces and covers the cowl area. I've also formed a flaring at the instrament "pod". If you look closely at the fender/door joint you'll notice there isn't a joint. I fiberglassed the fender/door/rocker panel together into a one piece unit. By doing this I was able to cut away some more sheet metal. (metal=weight=slow). Working with fiberglass is easy-make a mistake and grind it off and redo it. But wear a dust mask, the inside of my garage is covered in f/g dust. Tell me what you think, I can take it. |
