Geppetto is still working on the buck for the front valence.

I think its back to the drawing board. He put the buck in the 20 ton press to try and pressure form the piece and the buck broke. We'll see what today brings.

On a side note, the front has more issues that I remember. The usual nicks and splits. But I found a dent above one of the support pieces. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Here's what's left. 2 rocker panels, engine lid and the rear valence.

Doug the rust spots came off the engine lid with the wire wheel. No holes underneath.

Started on left rocker panel. One major split, which caused quite a tweak in the panel.

Doug, your project is looking great. The black anodized calipers look pretty cool.
Wasn’t sure about S calipers being done that way but I do like that. Very nice.
Thanks for compliment on my project. Sourced the 917 lite from a shop in Switzerland.

Received my stainless steel bumpers. Minor filing needed to fit the 914 Rubber fog light grills and the license plate bracket speed nuts.

The yellow fog light lens look pretty sharp.




What size screws did you use?

Not sure if I ever showed the seats that are going into this car?
These were put together by Stefan with GTS Classics.
I can't recommend him enough for the customer service, product quality and ease to work with.
I picked their Watkins Glen model as it most resembled the factory seat in silhouette or profile so they'll fit into the back pad seamlessly.

I opted for the raw fiberglass finish on the back (vs the standard black paint) to coordinate with the undersides of the bonnets and the engine cooling shroud.
The only other option I checked was the manual lumbar support with supplied pump bulb.

Definitely a "sport" seat with nice bolstering.
The tartan plaid is my own choosing.
It's called Robertson Modern Hunting tartan.
I thought the white stripe would compliment the light ivory body color.
I'm also running the dark green and blue through the car in various places....seatbelts, Porsche stripes on the side, carpeting accents, etc.

The seats are quite comfortable



I just noticed thats a new model for them. I like it even better than the LeMans. Another part for my wish list.

New dawn....
The chassis was delivered to the body & paint shop today.
Big job ahead as this was not the straightest of chassis's.
Cary did an admirable job with all the metal work.
Hopefully this will get moving pretty quickly now.
I'm expecting to have the car seam sealed and undercoated in the next couple of weeks, with the body work starting very quickly thereafter.
The color will be the factory original L80E light ivory with something a bit different underneath....possibly medium ivory or a beige.
