There is a welding shop in Albany NY which will take this on. If you have the right materials sent in for the floor pans and the upper longs The total cost will be $3000 including the labor.
What is the difference between an original 6 and a conversion. An excellent 914/6 conversion will go in the $13K-14K region. A similar Factory 6 will go for $18K-$22K Govel Welding on Central Ave. |

i guess you did not see the nos fender in the pictures that he sent did you? i guess you did not see the sand and residue from the blasting...i guess you can't add up the front was blasted and the rear was primed. i work in the automotive buisness, i have never seen you shop in ct. (and i have been to every shop in ct, its my job) in the last 4 years i heve seen 3 914's in ct......i know there are lots but i think your idea of a "marginally maintained north east car" are weak....they had rust worse than this with 5 years of new. as i have sais i have parted over 100 of them i think i know what i am talking abouyt. i may not be an acknowledged internet expert such as yourself, but i do know a solid car when i see it. I figured that it would best be a racecar chassis....we'll see on ebay later today

Good luck and best wishes to you Nick. I sincearly hope you sell it for what you're asking on ebay.
I didn't mean to show any disrespect nor question your integrity. I descided not to buy purely because I can not afford to do the work right now. Maybe it is a good buy for the price; it's just not a good buy for me at this point. Shoot, just a few months ago I was seriously thinking of selling my car and would have if someone came by with some cash. Someday I hope to find a factory six chassis that I can put my parts onto. Until then I'll just "Mickey Mouse" mine to get by. If it doesn't sell on ebay, maybe we can still work out a deal. I'm not opposed to the price, I just can't do it all right now. If you want to hear more, email me. I'll keep further comments on this subject off the board. It's too bad people can't have a discussion without getting upset. Even people not directly involved seem to be fueling the fire. FWIW, I wasn't complaining, just trying to figure out what to do. The way I figure it, with my parts and a fixed chassis it would be a nice car again. Peace to you all, |
