OMG (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) . I can't wait to see how that sits in the car. How do you plan to do the engine lid? That is obviously going to stick out the top. Not that I care as I know you have some killer plan. I can't wait to see it man. Seriously sick build (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

Please stop by to see it for yourself! There will also be a second vehicle in our booth that is pretty cool as well. It has a V8 and uses futuristic magical hybrid technology. |

Beautiful build! What size rectangular tubing is your rear chassis supports? They look strong enough to handle what you're doing to it! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) Thank you for your comment...the left +right longitude are 1×4 , the smaller side pieces are 1x3; both are .120" ga. The mating back piece that is welded along the rear trunk section is 2x2 angle @ .250" ga. Marty |

I just caught up on this thread and now I am hungry (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chowtime.gif)
Thank you for letting us all watch and for making our dreams come true. I always tell people "the 914 is the ultimate project car." This is one ultimate project. Now I want to go to Rensport Reunion for the first time. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Just please don't share how much this build would really cost!!

I use a contractors EMT bender and tubing to create the sample bends for the cage work. Then the samples are used for the real bends which are mandrel formed in 1.750 x .120" wall.

When the Cayenne was introduced, Matt sketched this concept on a paper napkin at Big Sur campgrounds. The final livery will be penned in a few months.

More welding chores this weekend:
On board air jack system, our car uses 3 total. The red looking "Beer stein" is a pit jack-stand that adds extra security during longer pitting. The air jack piston travels downwards approx.9" . With the car at 5" ride clearence, we should get another 4" ground clearence for tire changing. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)  |

9 inch airjacks, 5 inches of clearance and a 4 inches or ram stroke left over? Aint gonna work with full suspension droop to get the tires off the ground unless you limit the droop with straps. With straps at all 4 corners you creating another conundrum; tire lift when you really don't want lift. Straps on the rear ok, on the front its gonna go from sticky to no steering faster than you can pucker.
I love the dash! Nice build. |

I hear you Jeff on the suspension droop, but we are having the JRZ suspension tuned + set by Kerry at ERP. He is building in our "stops" internally in the shocks...so not a problem.
Have you checked your pm lately ? Marty |
