Finally back on this car. It is hard to believe it has been 10 years since Sandy and I picked it up. So much has gone on betweeen that time.

I actually had a front clip from a donor I got from Chappy in Minneapolis at one time and ended up using most of it on Jueren's 6 repair.

Since the car made it here We built a house and moved to another state. Well just across the Big lake. Infact I can see my old neighborhood from my deck.

I purchased a 74 from Craig and ended up giving it Mark at 914 Rubber. The cost to ship it was more than I could justify.

I located a California 1970-4 up on the Canadian Border that was brought up there on a trailer in the late 90's from Arizona, parked on the trailer in a pole building and never moved. This was the find of the century up here. But the more I looked at the car the less motivaed I was to cut it up. It is as rust free as 914 come these days. So I added it to the cars to build and not the cars to part out.

Now that we are in our new house and Juergen's car is headed for spain it's time. The car is in the shop on some of the fixtures McMark built for me. I picked up a front clip from Garold but as I was trimming it down I realized it was not enough to complete the repairs.

So my friend Pat, the guy I did the I did the Mercedes 280SL for located a clip down by him in Ohio. A mutual friend of ours coming back from the East Coast with an open trailer and will be dropping off here for me the end of the month. So stay tuned.


From the begining...

Made the tool last night.

Attached Image

This is a planishing hammer. This is for the inner wheelhouse. I plan to metal finish it. There is alot of time to be invested before I get far enough to really use it but I tried it out on a couple of creases they I hammered out. With the shrinking disc and this tool I am fairly confident I can pull it off. Most guys would have just chopped out the wheelhouse and sectioned one in.

This was the current state.

Attached Image

Alot of time will need to go into bumping and shrinking yet before thplanishing hammer becomes an effective tool but this was about 3-5 minutes time.

Messed around a little tonight just as a demonstration. There is alot f repairs down low that need to be straightened before I get to finishing the panel. There is a thick layer of rubberized in the wheelwell i need to strip completely in order to work the panel level and straight.

But this was for fun:

Started here. I worked a deep wrinkle above the sharpie area then moved to here.

Attached Image

Started the metal moving.

Ended here for now.

Spent a couple hours on the 6 tonight. Started roughing out the panel and working in a broader sweep.

Attached Image

Around the sway bar hole there is alot of stress. And by the way, I did not drill the holes in the wheelhouse or slice the right fender with a zip cut tool.

Attached Image

By the end of the night I started getting the horizontal crease back in the panel. I think another couple nights and I will be ready to start trimming the parts clip. It will be here by the end of the month.

Attached Image

As I am working the wheelhouse the right fender is coming back in line.

Another night out hammering away on the wheelhouse. i set up this vector pull to start moving the panel forward. the arch over the Rack was closed up. I actually did two different pulls to get the shape back.

Ther is not much tension here. Just enough t help move the metal as I hammered the kinks.

Attached Image

Hard to tell but this depression took hours to flatten. This was caused by the kink over the rack.

Attached Image

You can see this spotweld flange is pushed backand the panel is rolled out.

There is still a very slight depression at the swaybar mounting hole but once the gas tank bulkhead is welded back in ot will be right on.

Wow, just wow!

Don’t feel bad. It took me 41 years before I started working on my -6.
