Wow! That was a very nice way to start my day. Went through the entire thread and this just goes to show you that we have some people on this site with off-the-hook skills. That is just amazing X10. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Hi everybody from Norway.I'm starting a new project here as I found the remains of a 914 for 300 usd.It was cut into three parts to make it easier to bring it to the scrap yard.I lost my job,so I have plenty of time and less money. This car has nearly nothing left of the outside body panels,so I feel free to make some fun out of it.There is very much structural rust to fix first and thanks to Brians Machine Service I have a 911 roof I want to weld on top of the 914 chassis. This is a long term project I want to shear with you.I have a plan.... Lets put on some good music in the workshop and start up the welding machine. Really? Edit: after spending 10 minutes staring at door gaps and body contour alignment I had to go back to the 1st post in this thread for perspective. Unfortunately the pic of the 914 hulk didn't come across in this post. See Post #1 for clarity. |

To form the body contours of the 904, did you do this primarily from photos by eye?
Trial and Error? Or is there a drawing out there? I build boats for fun, and we use a stack-up of cross-sections like this called the "lines drawing". Are there equivalents for the 904s? Or other old Porshe werks racers? |

I guess you did answer this as I found your earlier post:
"Thanks for the words....forgot to tell about my background. My first job was as a mechanic for a mining company.After that I was a welder/mechanic/electrician for the offshore industry.My last job was tube-fitter in theNorth-sea. Always been wrenching on something.Started with VW type 1 and old style hot-rods. I prefer low-budget projects with a challenge.Got a bit tired of the lack of creativity in the street-rods....Porsche looked fun. When you google 904, the blue print,side view from 1963 pops-up.I don't have any measurements as this is only based on the 904, adjusted to fit a 914 chassis and 911 top.Just trying to catch the 904 styling.My kind of cheap fun.I could never afford a 904 replica and I don't like glassfibre cars..." So you have as we describe it in boat building, "the eye"! A man who can estimate a shape, craft it, and tune it to look "sweet". I'll bet you could sketch out a very mean looking Viking longboat! |
