I've followed this thread off & on. Looking forward to progress.

But . . . wouldn't it have been easier to just start a tube frame. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

Keep going. Can't wait to see this one shape up.

Because then it wouldn't be a Porsche. Might as well just buy a Beck and save myself years of work.

Ok, winter has officially arrived here at Unobtanium HQ, so let the winter of welding begin. Hoping to start dry fitting the body before the new year. The last cut of the passenger side rocker is complete. Here's to winter!

They normally don't last long, if you look at the yard a year from now it will be different cars. We like to see them leave, almost more than we like to see them arrive.

This shop isn't that bad, the old shop was in the Adirondacks, we would get feet of snow, all you could see was the shape of the cars!

Ironically it is 6 years to the day when I dry-fitted the body to the test bed chassis because today I started to fit the body to the real chassis. Guess we will find out this week if I cut and welded in the right places. Stay tuned.

Ok, so it fits! Fine tuning it now but everything is lining up just as I had hoped. Like Hannibal Smith used to say,
"I love it when a plan comes together!"

It won't be much heavier than it sits right now. I still have to put a tank in it and I'm using Speedster seats so no real weight there. Wonder where it will end up?

Looking at that steering wheel really shows how small this car is.
Great job.

Great job.

When I first got the body I thought something was wrong, it was too small. I'm not a big dude, 5'9", but it was tight. Then I sat in a friend's real 904, 0014. Nope, they are just really small.

Maybe he meant your target weight for being able to steer and shift at the same time?

He had me at "looking good".

I must be an old guy because I can recall seeing a 904 available for sale, probably mid '70's

Very cool project, I assume being completed in your spare time (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

I like it. Out of the true spirit of the 914 comes a fire breathing dragon.
