ok...well i spent a little bit of time with the 914 today after a LOOOONG period of not working on it...and i think i have a plan

this summer's goal is to get the bodywork and paint finished so that the reassembly can finally begin. i figure i will set a series of small, achievable goals for myself, so that i dont get overwhelmed..so heres the ideas

remove all glass and trim

strip each panel, one at a time to bare metal (if i can look at a bare quarter panel at the end of the day, instead of a quarter bare cfar..i think i will feel better about what got done)

save $$ and buy some real steel flares to replace the FG ones (This is a biggie)

strip underbody and repaint (hopefully we can get some time at movietime cars for this)

strip engine bay and repaint.

do nessicary body work on car ONE PANEL AT A TIME

when body work is finished...paint it and enjoy

hopefully that will conclude my summer...and i think ill need some help from the Northeast guys this summer...who wants in

Great long term post! Most of us would not keep it alive for this long.

I do have one warning, however. NEVER EVER, EVER use concrete block for jacking or blocking. Build up some 2x4's or 2x6's, steal a RR tie, Or ???

Just DO NOT USE concrete blocks. Please....

Nice Aaron!

If I may ask, about how much is the blasting costing? We are thinking of going that route with one of our cars.
