QUOTE(Unobtanium-inc @ May 4 2018, 08:12 AM)  A couple of points I want to touch on. 1. How much of the car have I personally made? This has been a behind the scenes joke that maybe I'm just paying someone to make me a 550 body, and I watch. Of the panels you see on the car I've made 12 of them. Wray has made some and his students have made some. 2. Why do I jump from project to project? There are forces beyond my control with the 550, I have been at the mercy of Wray's schedule, the work done on the wire frame, and I have to couple all that with my busy schedule, I'm on the road a lot getting cars and it's like being a fisherman, when the fish are biting, you're catching fish. So in a perfect world I wouldn't have to make a living and I could work on my projects full time, trust me I would love that. But I make time when I can and have to work that around other people's schedules. For example, if my wife has to work late I have to get the kids after school, so obviously that isn't a day I can drive 4 hours to Mass and work on the 550. So all jokes aside, that is why I'm forced to jump back and forth from project to project and no, I'm not just paying someone to build me a body. Can we move on now? I was just curious, since this thread is labeled 914-6/904 project begins and it had a bunch of other stuff in it. Maybe you should start another thread with your day job. Both are interesting and No, i am not one of the ones that are harassing you about your 904 build. I find all builds interesting. |

Sorry I missed all the fun Adam & folks ( that's "people" for all the non-Southerners (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) ).
I too, have no dog in the hunt, as I'm minus 914s & tooling now that I gifted Blackie, jigs & Tools to the local H. School tech program. Adam - carry on my good man. When I buy my 1st 3 rotted out sailboats (new hobby), I'll send you images of my fine work! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bs.gif) You folks take care & enjoy his craftsmanship for the purity that my millennial son will never have (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) |

Adam.
I call you the "Hot & Sour Adam" Some like you & some don't & your workmanship is excellent (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) It's a learning process what can be done with metal.

..and another page down with nothing 904 related. Let's keep it going, we may break some kind of record. Maybe there's a shot of an old lawnmower being repaired that can be added or something? anything to disappoint the 904 lovers out there, when they see this thread towards the top of the list (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I'm impressed by the wire forms, let alone a panel shaped to fit correctly.
I always jump in looking for 904 progress and am usually disappointed. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) |

I check this thread occasionally and after reading the last few pages I see the problem.
Not enough 904 content! I offer up this picture as an effort in that regard. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/white914.jpg)  |

Ok, since everyone is clamoring for more 904 content, I can share the car I am using as kind of a guide for my build. 904-0031.
I've documented probably about a third of production in pictures but 0031 is my favorite, not a restored queen, more of a dirty track car. Let me know what you think. Attached image(s)

A wonderful vision to be sure!
Probably the only car I would want to build would be a 904 so I am envious. Finishing my car kicked my ass for some time to come. Your build will be no small feat and many here want to cheer you on. Good success with the project and focus. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/white914.jpg)  |

This is actually my favorite 904 picture, it was given to me by Gerry McCarthy, a dear friend who died a few years ago. He knew more about Porsches than anyone I've ever known. A graduate of the one and only Porsche Carrera School that was held in the back of Max Hoffman's, Gerry knew his stuff but more importantly was happy to share his knowledge. This is him racing with Herb Wetson back in the day.
His shop was legendary. RIP Gerry. Attached thumbnail(s)   Attached image(s)

The only other car I can find is 0025, which I think was Sir Stirling Moss' street 904. Attached image(s)
