So while having my coffee this morning i started playing around with the idea of making some detachable Canards ( dive planes ).


OK... no more coffee for you!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Seriously Dave... it's amazing the amount of detail you put into this beast. I hope to see it in person some day. Great job. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

I've never been too keen on Phone-dials, but for some reason, you've managed to make them look great (along with the rest of the car, of course) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I think i will only need to drill one hole in the valance for an aluminum tab and can put a hole plug in it's place when there detached. The other areas i can attach them are on the inside of the fender lip and the gap area between the valance and body.

I tacked the rockers on to see how it all looks together, i think the dive planes look kinda cool and hopefully functional.

I have to get back to the home remodeling this weekend so no more updates on the car till next week, then i should know if my engines ready.

Spent some time cleaning the garage this weekend, had an opportunity to roll the car out and let it bake in the sun. Photo op....

I put the Fuchs wheels on the car this afternoon and even though they look great, I think I like the Phoners as well, they may even look a little meaner.

I will see about posting some shots of the Fuchs on the car soon.

I will check on my engines progress tomorrow.

On another note the DMV says my collector plates with the personalization - NINE14 are finally done but did say i could change it
for an additional 14 bucks if i was unhappy with it. At the time i settled for NINE14 because the other options i had in mind weren't allowed, but really wasn't to happy about it.

These options are still open if i choose.

TURBOGT

914TRBO

What do you think, Change or leave as is with NINE14.....

Those Fuchs look sooooo hot (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif) Your car is amazing Chappy. If you like the Phone dials so much you could always sell the Fucks to me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Looking very nice. Plate looks good to me. I'd keep it at that if it were me. I hope your engine is finished soon. It has been a long time in waiting, but your labor shows very well.

The plate doesn't bother me like i thought it would, and describes what it is.
The plates are a new DLP printing process no raised letters lays really flat.
They sent me two as i only ordered one, one had some black magic marker touch up on the letters.
I guess the prisoners decided to make me another, i must of got a butt brother that takes some pride in his work..

I have a little finishing up work left in the wheel wells as you can see ( i ran out of undercoating ) other than that it's ready to go.

I have another set of Phone Dials with new ES 100's 225/50/16 and 245/45/16's on 7's and 8's for sale, I decided i dont need three sets of tires. I was holding on to them so i could extend the life of the RA-1's that are on the Fuchs but with the set of Phoners i have in the pictures above with Conti's on them i am set.

If anyones interested PM me.

This is one of those cars that when someone checks it out they'll be droolin' (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif) at the outside, but when you open the engine bay lid you'll hear softly and respectfully.......holy shit!

I think this is my favorite 914. BTW, the license plate is perfect for all those people who will try to catch up just to read it. Too bad you couldn't get one that said: NOTCONTAGIOUS (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif)
























translation: you can't catch me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

Can't wait to hear the drive report. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

Thanks Marc, Ollie and I getting tired of just sitting in it making varoom sounds, a driving report will be on it's way soon. I may break the engine in on the dyno and get it tuned right before it hits the road but then maybe not, i may not have enough self control......

I just wheeled the engine into the garage, Yahoo!, I will assemble the top half of the engine and install the clutch, attach the transmission, and install the engine tonight. Too bad i dont have a live cam out in the shop you guys could help keep me company.
Tomorrow i will tow it back down to the shop to start it and retime. If all goes well i will be driving to break it in over the weekend....
