This car will handle like it was on rails so I'm deleting the tires and setting th car up with a flux capacitor! I paint stripped the wheels. I was stoked at how cool they look naked I had to put them on! I am not painting them.

Nice placement of the angle iron rear tower brace. That's where these cars have shown stress cracks. Also the front bulkhead triangle. This is a common stress buckle of a front end collision.

Hi Andy,

All of these body color engine bays and your color too, I have decided to take my engine / tranny out again and really clean up and paint, silver in my case. I am also going to follow up with Tangerine on the Cage. I like the addional reinforcement you have done.

What is the brand / model of lift you have? That looks really cool and would work really well in my single car garage. i have been doing a complete rebuild sadly for more years than it should take but, am getting there.

Yours is a very cool car!

Grant

Thanks Rob, I am living the dream! I am living the dream! I just gotta keep reminding myself sometimes.

Thanks Grant. Here is the link for my EZ lift: Lift


Edit: This is my 914th Post! I think I finally figured out how to do a link correctly!

Andy! Nice work buddy. It's great to see all that reading, practice, and experience culminate in a successful progress thread with a working link.

Great work on the 6! I hope it gets giant fighter plane sharks teeth in the front and a sexy gal painted on the sail panel.

Of course I wanted something different for my dash that matched the rest of my theme teen. Here is the template I made out of cardboard and the aluminum sheet of .80 that has been cut out.

As you can see the dimensions are similar to the stock steel dash frame. I cut off the steel frame that holds the gauge plate and will be bolting that on once the aluminum is bent up. I will be using the stock gauge face plate as well. Gauges will be 911 oil temp/pressure combo, 911 tach, 914 150 mph speedo. Down on dash face the single cut out is for fuel. Thats all I'm doing so far. I want to drive this freakin thing. I am going to spray the dash with black wrinkle paint. Aluminum is so much easier to work with!

Here is the dash bent up. I paid the shop where I buy materials to do this $35. I had to trim the corner tabs on top of the dash. When I drew this thing up I wasn't sure if I could install the dash with these corners with the roll cage installed in car. I cut them off. The aluminum sheet is .80 thick. The top bend is 110* just like stock.

Here is the gauge hoop bolted up. A little more filing for the gauges and where the steering column turn signal/washer assembly go. Then the folds will get tig welded. I need to finish the hood cover for the gauges.

Andy,
Cool project, I like the aircraft theme you've got going from exposed fasteners to paint and cool mods, great job.
