Thanks Marv.......like I told you at the last 914 event at Seal Beach, your car was one of the cars that I looked to for inspiration.

Hey guys, a little update. The project is still ongoing.....but I've been slowed down due to.......(insert typical excuses here). But really though, I completed the frame and am now working on the floor. I am waiting for a bead roller and English wheel that I ordered. The bead roller is a Mitler Bros with Covell forming dies and a host of other dies that I will use to make floor and to make the pieces that I will need to shape the "wider" fenders. The English wheel is a Metal Ace. I've also ordered a Roper Whitney 48" box break. Once all of that comes in I will be able to complete the floor. I'm also moving into a 50' x 24' shop. Up to this point I have been working outdoors so I really can't do much when it's too hot or weld when it's windy or work when it gets dark. Now I will be able to work whenever I feel like it so I'm expecting to get way more done. Also, there this month I find out if we sell our property of stay in it. If we sell, then I'm building a new house and then you know that this project will stall. If we don't sell then there won't be a stall. Also, I figured out a way to widen the front track of the 996 suspension without having to machine new control arms......stay tuned since it's very cool way that keeps all of the suspension geometry and can use factory parts.

I'll be over to make a new pan for my BBQ pit once you receive the bead roller. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) Good to see your back on it. Which Car Dealership wants your property? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Awesome! I was wondering how you were doing the other day Rudy.

Can you pull the engine/trans package out of the top with those tubes removed?

@jd74914 Yes sir you can. That's why I used those removable welded adapters. It's a tight fit but the engine and transaxle come out of the top. It's kind of unique for a 914.

@Chris_H. or close. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) As soon as the floor is done I will throw on chassis table and twist it like I did before and see what i can get out of it. I'm sure that it will be stiff enough so that I can jack it up from front wheel and be able to open and close the doors. We shall see.

@76-914 yes it will be able to do that for sure. I'll call you when I move into my shop and the roller comes in. Its a Mittler with the industrial motor. And it's a hotel chain that may be buying me out. However attempted to sell to Carvana but they were not ready to move to this area yet.

Thanks @tygaboy . Either way it will be good. We're in a good spot...don't need to sell and its a great location. However, if we do sell, then we will build a one-story rambling Spanish hacienda with a massive garage and a forever 360 degree view of city lights 1000 ft above the valley floor. Can't lose either way.
