Rick dropped the car off this afternoon, he went way beyond what I expected. Flares looks great! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif)

Need to put seam dealer on these and paint the backside to protect them. Will start this process tomorrow. Good thing I have Monday off to finish this.

Sorry no pictures as it was snowing (weather man was wrong again) and I forgot to do pictures. Will post some when I work on it tomorrow.

Special thanks to Rick!!!, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) this turned out to be much more work then we expected.

I wonder how some up side down louvers would look in the fender tops? ( probably to much revival )

Nader's Nightmare is going home! Nice day to do 914 stuff on the 14th!




Very Nice Rick, Coop's going to like it.

Wanna come back to Florida and put some Steel Flares on my Steel Top?



(IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Seriously? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

I had a great time doing the work. Irv is a great guy and much more of a car nut than many know. I can tell you if he could drive he would very likely be in another line of work.

Hey Irv. I think I should bring the Alien down next summer and we'll find a big parking lot someplace and you can go through the gears.

Hey Irv,

I sent you an email with the phone number of a guy that works out of his garage. He's in the metro someplace. Give him a call when your ready and have him at least look and see if he can get you back in paint.

Defiantly will take a ride with you driving.

Keep telling Dan we need to find a track and check in to getting time on it when the car is done (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) . My father keeps saying BIR, however I would bet that would be real $$$.

He keeps bringing up the movie Scent of a Woman.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/www.buddy-icons.info-9514-1326685938.1.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

Yes, got the e-mail and will be checking with him, thanks for the possible contact.

Seam sealer on and primer tomorrow. Also stand in engine and the trans will be removed. i should have a good start to having the engine together by end of next weekend.

That is if the rings show up this week. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif)

Wow Wow Wow! Rick has some serious metal skills, no doubt. When this project got under way I was thinking "oh no" and now that I see the finish result I was thinking "that man has got skills". (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)

Balancer, dist, carbs, turbo, valve covers (haven't shown up yet) and clutch and in the car it goes.

Nice!

If you have a need, I have some almost new rockers and swivels you can have. Since I went to roller rockers, I dont need them and there is about 1000mi on the old gear.

Wow Rick, that thing looks amazing. Must have been very challenging to get the flares to look right with the slant nose.

So...this car looks exactly like the one formerly owned by member 1bad914 out of Michigan... if so has anyone else noticed how many times it's changed hands in the last several years!? Nothing against the car or owners AT ALL, just a random fact. It's easy to spot with the color and slant nose.

Link

Since its had a variety of drive trains and setups it's the PERFECT car for a Corvair transplant!

Good luck with it Irv! Your son will love it.

I had it before Irv. I had an opportunity to buy the Steel Roof 914, so that why I sold it. I did the 5 Lug Conversion. I did not buy it from 1bad914, but was told he really misrepresented the car. The guy I bought it from fixed all the Rust (there is a whole Thread about that)

Sorry TC I didn't know about that rust situation until just now...bummer. Well it sure looks great underneath today. Speaking of cars that have been changed hands..is Steel Roof the one that Root Werks built, then he sold it, bought it back, you bought it, sold it, bought it back? Love that car.

Sorry for the hijack Irv...

Yes, the Steel Roof is the Dan Root x 3, TC x 2 car
