Battery tray - will do. That's the plan.

If there was a good acid dip place in town, this tub would have gone for a bath.

WooHoooo!!!! I talked to Steve again today. He was out of town. We're good for pushing the schedule out. The plan now is to get the car into the shop mid-July. That will give me plenty of time to strip everything myself without stressin over it.

Now, where can I find a DD 914?

Congrats!

Pacing yourself will keep saniity somewhere near you, maybe almost even in sight. No, it won't be close to you. lol. But it will be the light at the end of the tunnel (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Nice work, btw. The panels look really clean.

(sympathies on the B-day -- they do happen to everyone, so don't take it personally)

No worries Kim, thanks. There are a lot of things in life we can't control. Like Birthdays. 914's we can fix, growing old we can't.

Live it up.

Happy belated b-day old guy...

Just scrolled through this thread and checked out the picts. Ouch... Guess the brown car color wasn't that ugly, huh? (ducking for cover...)

If you are serious about a driver, I can look for you. Does this project mean the families yearly CA trip is off this year? If not, let us know when.

Hey thanks Steve. No 3-5 trips to Cal this year. I would like to make German Auto Fest, but it's iffy.

If I can't find a decent driver around here, I'll just drive the truck. But if you run across a great roller, I've got motors/heads/carbs/FI/wheels/brakes/sway bars and all kinds of stuff for 4 cylinders in my stash. And I own my own trailer now too. Hitch it up and go you know.


"The Brown Car" was a beauty! It would have made a fantastic conversion car. I wish now I had just held on to it. Live and learn eh?

Brad,

You may not get a response before this thread fades down...

Mike is on vacation, Cape Cod until the 13th.

Regarding the car. He pushed his deadlines back and was going to deliver to the body shop more in the fall. I'm not trying to steal any thunder from him... hopefully he will see this and respond with a better update.

Hey! Look at my old thread bumped to the top!

Broken foot slowed me down. It's doin better. I bought another truck and took the fam on vacation, so I've been incognito. Now my 87 year old grandfather and my dad that I haven't seen since I was 17 (a long time ago) are in town and will be staying at my house next week.

"Rusto" should continue early to mid august when I can finally walk without a huge limp.

I almost forgot to show this pic.  The worst of it.  That rust continues up the console and under the battery tray.

How can you repair that ?

Yup. 67 3/4 ton - NO rust. NONE, zero, nada. Just like the brown car, but a Chevy truck.

67 Chevy

Gramps is 87. They're telling me he doesn't look so good. My dad says he may not make it another year. I may get the old man to do some work though. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

The answer to that question is on the first 5 or so pages of the thread.

You need to buy some metal panels from Restoration Design or Mittelmotor. Here's a pic from Restoration Design's web site.

A little surface rust in this channel. Not entirely certain what it's purpose is.

They all have it though. The donor-mobile has the same seam, but it's covered in seam sealer.

Hey Gint,

A little late, but I was just browsing this thread
Check the firewall from the enginebay side. You'll see that this seam is where the "engine shelf" (the part that holds the rubberstrip between the firewall and the engine sheetmetal) is attached to the firewall.

cheers,

Jeroen
ps. what happened to your foot?
