Light Ivory is nice (I'm biased) but to get the full effect you need to insert jack stands....

Ah I remember the stripping days...felt so good to get it down to naked to view where the repairs and needs are for the car.

I can't wait to see this build and the car put into better shape. I endorse the "do it your way" and Ivory White will be a nice look to a SIX.

What is the estimated time of completion?

I would like it done within 18 months or sooner if I can manage it. The only limiting factor is my wallet. I pay for this work out of extra cash every month. I won't go into any savings, investments, etc. so I hope to keep it going in a forward direction every single month.

Freaking oil lines took almost 3 hours to remove. I had to cut the lines every 6 or so inches, let that section of oil drain out, then cut the rest of the way through. I've never felt like I was so well lubricated in my life (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Getting the top line was fun too.

In other news, the car has had the drivers rear quarter replaced, and I am almost certain both front fenders have been replaced unless the stitch welded seam is a 6 only assembly procedure. there is no gold paint under the black on the fronts either.

I have a feeling the car was wrecked early on and was repaired with factory panels by a very competent shop. It would be interesting to know the whole story though (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Anyway, the car is completely dismantled now except for the suspension. Hopefully I will get it on the rotiserrie tomorrow and drop the suspension, then commence with scraping the undercoating and seam seaer prior to blasting it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

looking good! How effective was the home made trombone cooler? was there any evidence of chaffing or wear through at the chassis support of the copper?

Looks like it will take a few months to put that back together. Can't wait to see it finished!

In even better news I have sourced another original Gold 914 that has been painted white. So Cairo can return his Six to Gold and still have a Gold 914-4 painted white.

Michael nor I ran this engine much but the cooler should have been very effective. The 2 downsides is the removal of it should be needed, and the two holes that were cut in the front section of the longs is clearly what allowed them to rot out. No signs of chaffing aywhere. Whoever did this setup had a couple spots with some copper braces to keep everything stable.

Very nice to see this moving along. I am not really concerned that some panels have been replaced. I know that Scott will make sure that everything is perfectly fitted and welded.

In a car that is 41 years old it has to be the exception to find one with all original panels. I am just concerned that all of the rust and damage is corrected properly and that is why my car is in Scott's capable hands.

I am glad to see that oil cooler system come out; on an informative note, the prior owner, #2, said he has driven the car like that since the 3,0 was installed and never had a cooling problem and that included driving through the Santa Cruz mountains in the summer. So for those wondering, that's the best I can tell you.

Thanks Scott for working on my car and posting the pictures.

First flip (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) the weld flange on the front panel is a bit crusty but I only found one bad spot in the floor (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif)
