Bummer...

Getting closer! This time next week there wil be some serious action being taken in the 914WORLD.

Does anyone have one of the rubber parts that hold the eyebrow to the body? The eyebrow is #9 in the picture below and uses 2 on one side and 1 on the narrower side. 3 are needed for each eyebrow (total of 6) and we have 5...

Thanks!

I got the gas tank and accessories back from the powder coat shop. They look FABULOUS! And I learned how to use the beadblaster booth yesterday. I had a BLAST! I may have found a new hobby......

Now that is a work of art!

This build is going to be GREAT!

Looks Nice!

I will look. They are hard to find, that is for sure. I am sure I have a couple...but finding them in this mess..... we need a cleaning event for my garage!

That would be great if you can find one. We are only missing one.

please let me know if your going to skype?

I will drop a nipple in the mail.....

Are there parts still needed? If so, where is the list?

Here is the link again:

Thanks!

This is the last weekend for the Build Off!

Car is at the shop getting a valve adjustment and final inspection. Hope to have it back by teusday night. Start packing it up Wed and plan to leave right after work Thursday. With good weather and lots of luck and caffiene I will be in Garden City Friday morning.


p.s., you guys really didn't need to know that, was just looking for an excuse to move this thread back to the top.

Ya, but you will be useless on Fri. Take your time You can sleep in on Fri and join us after you nap.

Good idea ("join us after you nap") - perhaps you can lead the second shift!

ps: You might be the only one on second shift...

Got to work this morning & found a package from a special lady. All I will say is mmmm, damn good cookie!!!


Many thanks,
Donald.

Wow they must be good to say it three times

They really are that good

They really are that good

They really are that good

so looks like all that is needed is a set of turbo tie rods. Is that correct or is there more that you guys can use. Someone please PM me the address for the T-Tie rods. jonathan

Hi Jonathan - PM headed your way - thanks so much.

Like I like to say "you don't have to till me three times"

Is anyone getting the cone screws?

I thought you were, Carrie. Let me check my stock, though. I usually stock them

Dr Evil,

I think you sent her some in the very first package you sent her - I remember they were new in the bag. They might be on site - but Mary didn't see them. If you have a few bring but we might be okay.

I bet they are in a box somewhere - look at this picture I found from Mary (a long time ago).

Goal!

Turbo Tie rods should be there Wednesday. let me know if there is anything else. I do not have the heater cable and my Porsche guy says it is NLA.

jonathan

Thank you so VERY much for your help and support on the tie rods. An aircraft mechanic suggested cable from the dune buggy shop. I'll check with them tomorrow, they aren't open on Mondays. He let me use his bead blasting booth today, it is so much fun to see those parts sparkle! Looking forward to introducing you all to Buttercup!

Do we still need #3 targa trim?

I have wire at the shop that we use for replacing heater cables
and can put some in a Postal Flat Rate Box Tuesday.
I'd suggest that Ed carry it with him but the airline might not let him keep it.

Yes! Here's the link to the spread sheet! If you can help put your info in the spread sheet and get the parts out tomorrow!

I DO NOT have the cone screws. I am fresh out Probably too late for me to order them.

Doc, I think Mike Moorman posted a photo Mary took of the cone screws she received. At least that was my take on the post.

I might have 2 used ones - no promise though. We will also need the right metric allen wrench - is it 4mm? I think I left my metric allen wrenches at the build site last visit so they might be there - but I have a feeling the 4mm is missing from my set. We could get one at a hardware store if needed - but not the cone screws...

I doubt they would let him either (garrotte-esque)

I mis-understood. I thought the pic you posted was taken by Mary of parts she received. My bad.

Hey, any vendors have a couple cone screws to send out? We need them but the weekend.

Send any one of the guys here a pm with an amount and we'll get you paid for them.

Rick,

You were right - that was a picture from Mary - we just haven't seen the screws lately - very good chance they are there - but since I do not remember seeing them I am trying to have plan B.

I have them. Will send out today. No charge. Need anything else??

Jonathan - you are the best!

Gottcha Mike! Thanks Jonathan!
I have a box of stuff leaving here today.

I have included a couple door prizes. It will be up to who ever is in charge to distribute a few very rare copies of "Made by Hand" I had my friend Chappy burn from my VHS copy to DVD. You all can fight amongst yourselves over them. If your really creative and have a way to copy these onsite you and burn somemore you may all get one. I added a couple other thing to the box today...

The RC Car is on the way for the 914 RC AutoX!

If the winner(s) are so willing, I'll toss in a box of dvd disks to make copies with.

Sorry for the confusion on the cone screws. I am pretty sure I found them. I was at the shop all day and missed the posts. Thanks so VERY much for everyone's work on that.
Today I got the insulation/sound proofing installed for the most part. It is supposed to help with heat! It was harder than I thought in some respects, and easier in other ways. The worst part is the skin it peeled off my fingertips by the end of the day. They recommended cotton gloves.... nah!!!!!!!!!!! (note my seat hardware, freshly beadblasted and sparkly clean!!!!!)
I'll also attach a photo of the dash pad that Fernando just finished. It is beautiful! He still has the back for the firewall, but swears it'll be done by Thursday.
Things are hopping! Sun is shining, and it's been in the mid forties! Looking forward to the Build!!!!

WOW! Very nice! The clock is ticking. Hope the loss of skin is worth it!

Tomorrow I pick my car up from the shop after work. Then I have to stock it with parts, tools and emergency rations. Thursday night I will put more miles on it on the way to Garden City than I have put on it since I've owned it. Taking a blanket with me and a roll of weather stripping in an effort to seal the air leaks in an attempt to stay warm. Still have headlight problems but what the hell, I am taking 2 flashlights just in case. I will also have a floorjack and 2 jack stands and tools. I believe I will be okay. Renewed my AAA membership today and made sure my cell phone bill was paid up. It is time to and . See you all Friday morning some time or other.
