It's fun to see these /6 projects coming out of Kent's shop. I imagine his personal six is next in line??

I can't wait to see another beautiful Adriatic Blue 914-6 in the mix.

Ben - I know - Jim is killing it for sure. I can't wait to go down to LA at the end of the month and check things out.

I am looking forward to seeing your heat exchangers and muffler when they are done. I think once the chassis is finished and in color this Six is going to come together nicely. My goal is to have everything waiting for assembly so there are no delays in assembly due to missing parts.

I was at Jim's yesterday helping with the assembly on his Six and got to see many of the parts that he is restoring for your Six...beautiful work.

Hi Larmo,

My Six will have to wait, to busy for now. I did however pull the engine out a while back and I'm working on it when I can. I'm collecting up parts for now. I picked up a set of NOS Quarter Panels, that was a nice find.

Kent- NOS quarter panels is definitely a great find. I was looking for a passenger side quarter with no luck about 2 years ago. The Gods are smiling on you with that find.

OK - I had to buy a windshield - sorry it is tinted, not clear. Oh, and I borrowed this picture from 914 7T3 since I could not find another. Hope that was OK.

Got the Six on the Jig today. I'll see you on Sat. And we'll go over the car. I just got the 911 done and back to Tony Callas today so I'm ready to dig into your Six now. I should have the parts back from media blasting by friday.

All the suspension points etc. lined up great on the Jig as expected, the car hasn't been in any major accents.

Kent - Thanks for posting the pics of my car on the rotisserie and the frame jig. I am so glad to hear all of the suspension points are spot-on. I look forward to seeing you on Saturday and discussing my car. Food should be a part of that discussion - (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chowtime.gif)

If Kent suggests In and Out for lunch, just a heads up, don't ride in the back seat of the van. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chowtime.gif)

Michael,

Hope you car comes along quickly now. You have waited long enough! Your valance is on its way to Kent. I'm glad I could help out in a small way with the restoration of your car.

Just in case you haven't been teased enough about the color, I've included a pic of my car for inspiration. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Hey Karl- Thanks so much for selling me that valance. It will go perfectly with Ben's new SS heat exchangers and muffler. Your car looks terrific. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

So I just got home about 1 hour ago from spending the weekend down in Southern California seeing Jim, Kent, Andy and my Six. My brother went with with and we had a great time. These 3 guys are just cut from the same cloth- they are a pleasure to be around and talk with.

I was able to see my car on a rotisserie in good lighting and go over the whole car and discuss all aspects of the chassis with Kent and Jim. Kent will be putting in some time on this car to get it where I need it to be.

I also was able to go through a lot of my parts, not all of them, and identify some things that appear to be MIA at the moment. I will be emailing Scott and asking him to keep an eye out for them so he can ship them to me. I also somehow ended up with a refinished 911 oil tank instead of my refinished Six oil tank - pretty sure we just mixed up a box. I will ship that 911 tank back to Scott so he can ship me my correct tank with some other parts.

The next time I go down to SoCal I will continue going through the parts and hopefully be done with that at that time. That should allow me to send Scott a final list of items we are looking for.

I also got a chance to hear Jim's Six run - wow it sounds (and smells) sweet.

Then the cherry on the top was seeing Andy's Six - (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif) I can honestly tell you the pictures do not do it justice. OMG! It is just beautiful. Then he had to start it......let's just say that is one healthy motor.

At my age, plaque is always a concern in one's arteries....I am sure Andy knew that so he offered me a ride in his car. An offer no-one in their right mind would ever refuse. I am pretty sure that my doctor would be impressed with my circulatory system now. I should be good for another 10-20 years. That is one strong running, sweet riding, Six. It was a nice ride, not just down the street and back. I hope my car is not that fast or I will hurt myself. Thank you Andy for a ride I will be talking about for the next decade.

Unfortunately my brother and I had to hit the road right before noon so we missed what I am sure would have been a terrific lunch. But we knew we had a 6-7 hour ride back up north. Then I had to go grab my car from the airport since we flew down, rented a van and then drove back with assorted parts.

I will post a couple of pictures when I get a chance. Probably later this week.

Again, thanks to Jim, Kent and Andy for a great time. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
