For those of you that do not know what All Metal is... well here it is.

It is a alluminum based filler. Totally waterproof, does not shrink, sands smooth and cures fast.

Great pics.

I've used the All Metal stuff on my car and love it. POR-15 sticks to it like glue.

Wheels look pretty good huh? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

I think I am going to finish them like the bullit mustang wheels. That kinda dark grey... should go great with the white.

Thanks for the offer of help. I will call you when I get some of these major welding jobs done. We can probably make some good progress on the small stuff in a day.

Just call. I can even drive MY 914 there so your wife can see what they are supposed to look like!

Angie is on call Q5 right now, so I get 1-2 nights a week that I can come help.

New door jambs. I test fit these suckers about a million times. Normally they fit in behind the fender. I fit the flush with the fender. No problems with door clearance.

Good pics, where did you get the replacement door jam?

Restoration Design.... Bill is a very nice guy but don't be in a hurry for your parts and be prepared to bug him to remember your order.


EDIT - Scratch that - the Clams Shells were made by RD..... the Door Jambs came from Tweeks. VERY GOOD service from Tweeks.

Nice work Todd! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) That is a big project. I started working on some longs in similar condition to yours when you started. Did you end up cutting out the whole clamshell and replacing it or did those fit over top of the original?

Jerry,

These are designed to fit over top of the existing longs.

I cut out the bad sections of the now "inner" longs metal. Replaced it with sheet metal and then fitted the clams over it.

Was kinda nice, didn't have to make the "inner" repairs look nice... just strong.

Thanks for posting the pictures Todd. I have most of the bad parts cut out so I guess I'll be looking for a set of those.

Jerry,

See my edit above.

The Clams Shells - or Frame Stiffening Kits as they call them, are made by Restoration Design.

The Door Jambs are made by Tweeks.

Do a google search on both, they have web sites for ordering.

One small victory this week. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif)

No more side markers... personally I feel the stupidist thing on the 914. Absolutely ruins the lines... so gone!

I finally took a couple of vacation days this coming Monday and Tuesday. I have not been able to get away from work this year. One freakin vaction day since April 2004 DOES NOT CUT IT. I said (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/finger.gif) it. Twelve hour days for over a year striaght are not condusive to a 914 restoration.

Hopefully I can get some serious work done this long weekend
