45 Year Old, original set of Blue & Yellow Plates now officially assigned to a certain 1973 Porsche 914 thanks to CA DMV Year of Manufacture program! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)





Painful process? Cost on doing it? Not a fan of my new reflective white plates (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

If you have the plates already, cost is $40 or $50 to assign them and then a $10 annual renewal. Easy process with one form to fill out so long as you have the plates and proper year sticker designation on them...available for sale on the internet.. hint hint wink wink

Thanks, found a few on the bay already... will do this after the car is running since I should put the $200 to $300 price towards getting the car on the road 1st.

Was able to piece together an early '73 tool kit from 3 different purchases. Although my car is late, it is certainly possible that some late cars may have come with the earlier tool kits. Baby Steps....

Out of the Booth and ready for Color Sanding & Polish. The fluorescent lighting makes it look more grey than it is. Last photo is the one that appears closest to the approved spray out.

Martin Senour Automotive Finishes manufactured by Sherman Williams. Its the only one that color matched on the spray out. Nothing else came even remotely close.

Slight change in direction away from the 96MM P&Cs as the block is ready to go back together. I have since learned that the set of 96mm NPR P&Cs will tend to make the engine run hotter and will not be as quiet at idle. The quality is good, but not on par with German.

So decision was made to go with a NOS set of Kolben Schmidt 94mm P&Cs. Although, I'll be giving up the 10% power boost, the motor will be stock through and through with all German OEM parts.

Had the Opportunity to finally see my car out of paint in the natural light. Color is a perfect match to the original and she is as straight as an arrow!

Couldn't be more pleased with how it turned out. Still need to get the bottom coated and sprayed and some partial reassembly before I can get her home.

Beautiful! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)
You have to be happy with that result!
Now the joy of working on reassembly and working near all that perfect paint! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon8.gif)
I have that to look forward to, as well...

Lots of tape and padded materials, a bit of patience and you'll do fine! Keep the pics coming. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif)

Jeffery,

Eric at PMB Performance wraps the cars in his shop with a clear cling wrap to protect the paint jobs while the cars are getting reassembled.

A good tip as people can get near the new paint with tools or anything and even if they do not break paint you will be freeking out.

You car is a super nice Blue and from here it looks very good.

Assembly is going to be a big job and take more time than you may think but if steady you will get it done.


Regards,

Bob B
