Impressive changes since I saw it last year. Congrats on the progress. You are a true craftsman!


Thanks Ernie! Maybe see you at RRC this year if things work out.

That would be wonderful!


When are you going to bring the Alien to Okteenerfest???????

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif)

come on down Rick! i know thats a long haul but, if Clay and Betty and others can come al lthe way from Texas....... i know there used to be a midwest gathering called MUSR somwere like central Tennessee , but that faded and Okteenerfest sprung up in its place.
We do have some fun roads !



I want to see the Alien try to abduct the Dragon!

I would love to make that event some day. I retire in a little over a year. Maybe I can work it in then.

I guess this car was really meant to end up at Area51Werks. I was pulling the stuff out from under the cowl to clean up the dirt and mess and the 4 lbs of grinder metal I could not get even with a blow gun and a shop vac. I removed the left side defroster vent and a bunch of stuff fell out. This was one of the items that was stuck in there.

Unimaginable!
My mind takes me back to a mangled wreck that could easily have become a premium parts car. Instead it will take to the road again as a prime example of the 914 mystique!
Thanks for taking us on the journey.

Hi Luke and all,

Yes 2 part an then high build. Ready to start blocking. I have some nasty work ahead. The bottom of the car is covered in oil and dirt. Likely why it is so preserved. I needed to get it to the point where it was in primer in the event I had some splatter while pressure washing the bottom of the car. Not looking forward to this.

Things that are left after the oil mess is cleaned up:

Replace the battery tray and stand. It was removed and the battery was relocated to the frunk.

Repair the right side jack post cover. Looks like the rocker cover trapped dirt up against it causeing the bottom to rust. Pretty minor really.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) If it were a rusty car it would have ended up in the scrap bid. And good thing I didn't have to charge someone to do this work. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

The doors are blocked and ready. I have a pressure washer and it looks like it is going to stop raining tomorrow. I hope to get the bottom and engine bay pressure washed clean tomorrow while it is still on the Celette. I hope to get the suspension back under the car within the next couple weeks.

Good progress on the removal of the black bomb can coating. I ended up using spray can paint stripper to soften the coating then used the pressure washer to get it off.

The only rust was on the jack post cover from dirt being packed against it. When I cut it open I discovered a small hole in the long behind the cover. I cut out the rust. The inside of the long is still in light gray primer. This car is very solid!
