Are you going to weld in a new cowl? or are you/ can you weld in just the windshield frame? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/welder.gif)

This is just to get a mental picture of what it may look like. I have the cowl from another car. I plan to cut between the hinges and split the seam that runs along the dash support and about where the heater cabels go out into the cowl area. That way I have a forward weld and an aft weld and the hinges should give me a fixed referance point. I plan to fill in the grill on the cowl and switch to a single wiper arm.

I must have a windshield to drive it on the street (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/unsure.gif) I have a friend who does inspections and will be using his place to inspect it. Seems like if I run antique plates its a bunch easier. Limits on driving but who is to say Im not going to a function after work (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool_shades.gif) It will get a new cage though.

Larry.. it looks great with the new windshield hoop and cowling. When do you start welding?


As for the wing, Larry bought it like that at a local swap meet. It's kinda my fault. I jokingly told him that it would look good with the 928 engine. He took me seriously and bought it!!! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/blink.gif)

Heck no its GRO--WING on me. I like it and am glad Clay had the vision to see this. I still have the other tail and a stock lid with the small ducktail I can use depending on my mood (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

I will measure and mark my cuts this week and then remeasure again before I start to cut out what I dont need. After I am sure of my plan (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sawzall-smiley.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/welder.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sawzall-smiley.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/welder.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beer3.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mueba.gif)

Upon further review this aint going to be so hard. There is a factory seam at the corners of the windshield frame. They cut the original frame off at that point. I can cut the new frame from the Banana off at the same point and not have to cut into my door jam as originally planed. I will wheld a couple of tabs onto it and tie it into the cage when it goes in. I can still get the patch panels out of the old cowl to fill in the bad spots where they ran that dumb duct through the car.

Larry, much...much better know. I however would not have recommended cutting out the entire cage. I would have cut out most of it and rearranged the rest to fit inside the new cab. Would be much safer in case of an accident, maybe stiffer in turns and you could still reuse what you've already cut out. I cut out a little more of mine than I should have probably..But other than that I think it's great even the tail. BTW, what size are those rear wheels - they look nice!

We got the mock up frame the way we want it so now its measure and cut good frame time. We needed to turn the car around so we took a couple of shots of it. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

Had a busy day I cut and fit the good frame. This one was off the Banana and has no rust in it.
