Thats like where the name Mangusta came from.
Mongoose - Cobra eater.
Of course the Mangusta never did catch the Cobra.

installed smaller diameter cooling hoses today and tested.

3/4" I.D. to rad
7/8" I.D. from rad.

Mark Jones, I owe you now. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)

brought engine temp up to 185 then turned fans on.

engine temp came down to 165 and held steady there for half and hour.

Success! =-) I was kinda worried about the reduced I.D. hoses compared to what i was running... 1 1/2" LOL...

then i painted the other rear fender. Rustoleum white, to accent the other black fender. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)
at least now i know those fenders look more like patio furniture than ever before. uber trend-setting. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)

the big plan is to bodywork them in.

i know 2 part epoxy is great stuff but i'm still going to put at least 1K miles on her before backing out the the self tapping screws.

my artist friend says whenever i'm ready to paint, he'll be ready so it's a matter of getting my butt in gear which isn't going t happen unless there is a serious paradigm change. (which includes $$$ i don't have right now)

Keep that theme through the car, and we'll call it two face!

dang man. i'm scared of my car.

took her out for the first time with the new front suspension/brakes, tires/wheels, and vac advance attached.

the dizzy advance springs were setup for use with the vac advance which i had not attached last fall. big difference when attached and semi-timed. it pulls soooo hard now. zero wheel spin. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool.gif) next i need to spring for a good timing light. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

wiring is still in progress but just enough to run a few laps around the neighborhood and piss off a few neighbors. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/happy11.gif)
My old friend Rod joined me and said it accelerated like a drag boat. whatever that's like... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)

brakes are excellent but i will be keeping my eye out for a 19mm MC as i prefer a more firm feel. perhaps i will install the porterfield pads before buying the 19mm MC as i'm sure they will make a big difference. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif)

lastly, i need to adjust the clutch and shift linkage. had trouble getting her into first gear. (second gear on most people's 5 speed)

if anyone is looking for a way to reduce their car insurance, ask about antique car insurance. my insurance guy just hooked me up for $180/yr with full coverage and small deductibles, and $10,000 stated value.

Roger, from what I can tell from your pictures as to where the seams lines are (the joints between FG and steel), I think you may have a real problem bodyworking those panels in.

It's not so much an issue of the strength of the epoxy, but a flexibility issue.

Every car in the world has some flex, the 914 more than most. ESP. when coupled with a V8 and huge tires. It doesn't take a whole lot of flex for cracks to start cracking the paint at those joints.

Before you go through the time and expense of bodyworking those panels in, smoothing it out, and putting paint over it, I'd get an opinion or two from some really experienced body men. My guess is that they'll tell you you will have cracks all over the place in 6 months if you try to bodywork those panels in.

i have chatted with several V8 guys regarding bonding, as well as other attachment solutions, and most of the guys currently driving their V8's have had no problems with torque induced cracking.

at the same time, just to be safe,i will put a coat of crap paint on her for a month or so and we'll see if there is much flex at the bond points.

now you've got me thinking.... again. LOL

Bill's got a LS6 in his and bonded flares. zero cracks. i tried to emulate his solution.

naw, i think we're cool in this department... =-)

i do apreciate your concern, nonetheless. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

cheers!

i'd be most concerned about the areas on the fender right under the targa bar, and the rearmost area where the fg fender is bonded to the car (the vertical seam that is a few inches in front of the rear taillights).

hopefully it works out - it would look sweet bodyworked in!
