I'm only using the front part of the roof,so the locals that visits my workshop thinks I'm trying to make it into a pick-up....A famous man once said...like doing card tricks for a dog.The workshop is too small to get any pictures from the side...I'm planning to push it outside one day with nice weather.

WOW! I saw your first post days ago and I did not want to comment. I thought you were nuts and that car was too far gone. For some reason I checked back in this evening and am truly amazed at what your doing!

Worth saving just because it's Ravenna green... Great skills, I like the rear flare shape. Dig the homemade stands too. Having that most precious of commodities should have you making rapid progress weekly; keep the posts coming. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) |

Since you're using aluminum for the skin how are you going to attach the skin to the steel structure?
Using some type of epoxy to bond the skin? Are you welding or brazing? Using something like this. Aluma Steel Or, after further thought, am I way out in left field and the skins will be attached with some type of mechanical fasteners? |

Wow, I am impressed with the ambition and skill.
I have an old 914 rust bucket that I hate to cut up and scrap. But I thought that it was too far gone to realistically save. After looking at what you are doing I realize that my car is not as bad as I thought. Now I have to think of something interesting to do with it. Good luck with your project and please keep us posted. We all love to see what others do with their cars particularly a project such as yours. May the force be with you. Bill. |

  I'm thinking of folding the alu skin around the steel structure.Also using aircraft rivets ,but under the windshield I was planning to epoxy it to the steel. Working on the structure today for the front fenders....wasn't good enough. Do you know what kind of wheels this is?They are only marked with the size,9x15. They were on a Porsche that came from Sweden in the eighties. I have four of them,but need two that are 7x15 in front. Tried to order from group4wheels,but they don't answer..... |
