Aluminum and Carbon Fiber Door panels / the bait, Anyone interested? Options

[forrestkhaag]

Among other projects I am going to fabricate aluminum door panels and then do a Carbon Fiber overlay for visual effect. the primary goal is to have a bone flat panel that secures door pockets, arm rests and stays flat in sun rain and sea wind.

I am not sure what a set should take in time and materials to fabricate / but i am nearing completion of the CF backpad mold and owe the doner of the tin to make the mold the first vacuum bagged take-off in FG and CF / then I will make mine for my car and move on to the door panels.

Any interest out there?

a few old pix to inspire others to complete the conversion to a 6. Mine screams at 4K and after break in mileage is achieved on Friday next, the MSD gets a release to,...say,...6K..then to the max in the balanced build........

a few pix of my original 71 rust free acquisition for 3K in Seal Beach festooned with duct tape interior...

The kid that sold it to me in a BofA parking lot stole his parent's title from a dresser drawer, signed his name over (his dad's name too).... took the cash and ran away to the nearest drug emporium....

A year later I found a business card with his (dad's) name on it in the tunnel. I called the to tell him of progress / and it was the dad in person.

He understood the work and value I put into it and let the issue of his kid's forgery go / I offered two grand to cover potential loss (and to help with rehab for the kid) but he asked only to see it when "finished".... It is like a painting. Its never finished...........

But the blue collar dad is a real Man. In california, he could have sued me with a no-questions-asked attorney / a dime a dozen in this place and ready to rock and roll the dice.

Sidebar: My lovely wife and I just returned from a property acquisition visit to Scottsdale and are in the process of purchasing another property there that will include multiple garage spaces set up for lifts and 914's...... Hence, I may get sidelined on a few 914 projects until close but the ideas are bubbling......

Memories of all of those 911's along the way and that 996 C4S and then the 993 are fading fast - what with the 914-6 3.0 in full crescendo just behind the right ear....

The conversion (with the undying help of folks like Perry K. and Rich J. and Bob A. and Steve and his lovely daughter, and Kieth914, and Larmo, and the missing but soon to return Gregory and Mikey, and Dr. Evil, and Jim, and the guy at Pristine Motorsports that sold me a 1K 3.0 "core complete with everything to the clutch (accept the fan shroud...big deal), and,.well the list goes on and on.

If anyone out there needs help getting to the finish line on a 6 conversion, I will help if I can. The reward is in the doing of it.
