My chassis was blasted about a month ago.
I finally got a long time friend to come to do the prep/prime and
hammer/dolly work.
I'm hoping to get to a paint booth in a month.

Yes, A guy from Haskell NJ came to my driveway and did it in two visits.
He also did four removable panels away from here.
The bottom was done with garnet ,the outside with soda.
Soda is much kinder to the surface and avoids distortion that occurs with heavy abrasive.

Some update pics and a question.
The white color offered in 1970 for a 914 was L80E, (or 11 for a 914 6 )
On our site color chart the name is Elfinbein. Is that right ?
As I recall the early cars are a real white but Elfinbein is a very light ivory color.
I'm looking for info from original early white color cars.
Any help is appreciated.
PS my doors are not fully adjusted yet.

Ray visited yesterday and told me to post some pictures.
All bottom paint including pan, wheelhouses, five compartments front to rear, insides of doors and lids and all jambs will be painted this week...fingers crossed.
Picture shows front and rear lid hinges after visit to drill press.
Also louvered engine lid after visit to NY hot rod shop. Louvers Unlimited

Thanks Mort....
and some more.
After so much cleaning, welding, blasting and painting I removed the caps from the heater tubes and look what fell out !
Seems the car lived in or at least visited California.
At this point everything is painted except the outside skin.
Should I complete the painting and then assemble ...or assemble now and paint the outside later ?
I wish I had unlimited time and every part ready to be attached.
I'll have to wait at least for a couple weeks before beginning.
Can't wait !

Great work so far, very impressive. If you want to see what your car would look like in light Ivory check out the 916-6 GT conversion currently on Bring A trailer. It will provide inspiration.
Keep it up!

I know ! The day the paint was done that car showed up ! they're both '75s too.
It made me feel very good about my choice of color .
I hope to have results almost as good.

Yes, Elfinbein is the German name for light ivory. I have a 74 L80E car and my painter did his research to get the correct color.
