Wow, that came out great! I'm amazed at the text definition from a home sand cast part. Just awesome!

This is very much a back yard project, fun to see industrialized processes can be replicated this way.


Back Yard Project...I think few are sand casting parts (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Most definitely next level here. I'm sure the next questions will be are you willing to produce more of those.

Love it, you are rocking it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)


Not any plans of making any more of these, quite time consuming. I think they would be expensive in small scale production. Appreciate your feedback (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

A little spin off series on the home made hockey puck project. Forum member @Miguel K R has given it a try based on my 3D-models, and even taken it a notch up with magnesium etched tool for the leather stamp. Fun to see my project can inspire others (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

A quick update before the weekend. Here are some pictures of the fabrication of the GT-engine lid. I initially bought the mesh typically used in period, but thought it was a bit rough, so I made my own iterpretation based on the original lid and mesh.

Attached Image
The idea was to merge two lids into one.

Attached Image
Also had to add some holes in the crossmember

Attached Image
The near finished product. some battle scars in the mesh..

Attached Image
Good thing I had some extra mesh.

Attached Image
And some precision mig welding (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)

Attached Image
More or less finished.

Have a nice weekend! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif)

Excellent work, and a nice variation on the GT lid theme. Many folks delete the oblique crossmember, but your added lightness approach works well and looks racy!

And the precision MIG welding - wow. Keep the posts coming,

So, got a "Covid"-child.. And progress kind of stopped a bit (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

This is about how the car looks now (done some more work on the doors ++). Not far from paint actually.

A lot of stuff I have done previously I can dig up, and I will try to do so, but recently the greatest highlight is finishing the instrument cluster..Found a 3 gauge in parts in an ad for some other parts, and it cleaned up quite good. Had to make the colored light.. thing.. that had cracked.

Great to see you back posting. Your work is fabulous as usual and very entertaining to see. And that little guy looks like lots of fun too!

Any photos of the RS anywhere?

Thank you for the kind words (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif)

The rsr project was finished 10 years ago now, bare metal, lots of rust and welding.
It is a project thread on the pelican forum, but pictures are gone..

On request some pictures of the non 914..

Thanks. Great looking car in a fabulous color. Sort of a tribute to the 914 that you have that great 911 but are building a -6 GT clone.

Nothing like having that flat six right behind your head. Sort of the ultimate air cooled Porsche experience short of a 910!

Absolutely, the 914 in many ways feels more special, especially the seating position with straight legs and the enginefan almost inside the cabin.. and of course, pop up lights (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

Stance and wheel tire combo on the 914 is perfect!

Nice work with the gauges.

Have you considered paint remover instead of abrasives? Less messy, less effort, ...
