Well, the custom shifter cables arrived...
The less-than-good news is you can ignore those cable dimensions I posted earlier. I'm still working through things but the short story is:

Standard At The Red Barn process: Version n+1 required
They aren't the correct length/dimensions. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

I think I know why but you'll have to wait for a future video episode to see if I get it right the 2nd time.

I did a screen shot of your graph. Thanks. You are working on a stock set up, so this should be the same numbers on mine. Yes? Thanks again

@Shivers - Yep, totally stock suspension set up so should apply to others, as well.

Reminds me, rock crawlers use axle limiting straps. Not as pretty as rebuilding the shock but also not as involved.

These are cables from a Mitsubishi 3000gt. Thought you might find it interesting... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

That made my little brain hurt. I am sure you will get it sorted this time around. Hey, if it was easy, everyone would do it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Don't miss what's become an all too common occurence:

Do-overs At The Red Barn! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)

As I've said before, it's a good thing I don't do this for a living... Enjoy!

Red is short for Redondo (pronounced redo-n-do)

I'm back to working on a removable trunk insert. Martin helped and earned his keep by removing the trunk fire wall from the black parts car.

And these pics don't do justice to how cool this car looked with the back chopped off. All I could picture was a transverse drive train poking out, Lancia Stratos-ish.

Then it was hours of work removing spot welds and "extra" material to get the panel down to what I needed. But here it is in place. Just what I was hoping for...

And who'da thought: A Ferrari-swapped 914 can still store its targa top! Yes, the air/oil seperater clears the underside of the top.
There's a bit more clearance work needed so the intake manifold can fit, but fit it will.
Pretty cool, if you ask me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

So when are we going to hear it run? Just kidding!! As Clint Eastwood says "A man's got to know his limitations". This project is beyond my pay grade!! Thanks for keeping us in the loop of your trials and tribulations! My 3.6 conversion is more than I would ever attempt by myself and its mostly plug and play. I can't imagine what your going through! My head would explode. I still think you will beat Marty on who's project will get done first. You can't rush perfection!
