Sorry Man sad.gif This is a nights and weekends project. I wish it was full time, it would be done if it was.
jersey914
I love that you are doing the paint as nice as you are doing ever other part of the project. I am getting ready to repaint my 74' I have just a few body touch ups and then I want a fresh look of metallic silver. Everyone thinks I'm nuts but I want it to look as nice as the day it rolled out of Germany! Keep up the good work! You make us all proud to be owners.

Drop the excuses! mad.gif

The crowd here is getting restless. Not sure how much longer we can hold them back. I've heard rumors that some of them are arming themselves with a gallon of Rustoleum "Yellow" and a bunch of short nap rollers for a true 914 CSOB fixer-upper party! smash.gif biggrin.gif

Really looking nice! Seems like every little nut and bolt is polished on it. Going to be a stunning car.

More rocker shaping and glass work, plaster back fill poured in to retain shape if grinding back broke thru. these things still need some work but getting there.
