Well the fine people at PMB finished my rear valance to work with my custom muffler.

I just sent PMB my fresh plated rear bumper (thank you Oscar) and (Mark) for the nice used bumper top to replace what you see. I will sell the rear bumper that you see. I got it from Glenn 10 years ago for like $500. Original 1970 units are hard to come up with. Eric says we are ready for some road testing (500 miles) and then to paint corrections. $1 was finished paint work more than 6 years ago. Stuff happens when you build up a car like this from ground up.

Bob,

Your build is spectacular and can't wait to see it in person. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

Let me know when we can go on a run in RPV or Malibu. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

OK, well 41 went out for paint correction and is back at PMB, we put a new front hood on as Eric said we had small imperfections in hood and better to go with a fresher hood. Adjustments were made in the rear of car. We put on a better fresh rear bumper from Oscar (thanks Oscar) The one I gave to Eric was one I got from Glen some 10 years ago.
Soon my car is off to Dales to finish up the interior. I guess I will be getting back my bad boy in near further. A little more road-testing. E put on 250 miles so far. He says he is impressed. I am excited but when you get to my age you learn to wait till it is done. More pictures to come

Best regards my 914 Brothers.

Bob Burton

Small adjustment of the re-plated rear bumper. I was on the phone with Eric as the adjustment was made. A couple of taps

Number 41 getting finished. I asked for a third brake light as people in the city can run into your backside. Nice clean job from the minds at PMB.

41 is at Dales and we are moving on the rest of the interior. It all takes time to do it right. I will keep posting. The carpet is German weave all the way from Italy. Why do they not call it Italian weave?

I remember your Blue 914 that you put the 916-roof in. You have some great skill sets. I started on this project in 2007

Happening now! Just a few months more and this vision of my car I had back in 2007 when I bought it will be in my Garage. Interior is getting massaged by Dale. German weave imported from Italy. Leather weave custom made and well I am so happy. My wife now believes me that I have this car that she has been hearing about. I just love the smell of leather!

Best,

Bob B
