A click on the link....worked for me.....Did I see Doc giving Buttercup an I.V.?????

Its working. Thanks Mike... it is awesome to see your progress. Hoping for a drive today!!!

This is looking really good. Is she running yet? Are you guys and girls going to have time for the R/C cars?

Doc's fine just spoke with him. He's assembling a door. Cool!

The link works fine Mike.

BTW, I've been editing all of your thread replies that contain youtube video. If you post another youtube video, take the file name from the URL and enclose it in youtube tags that McMark created a while back. Your last youtube url was: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BuFc-MSrzVw Take just the file name "BuFc-MSrzVw" and put it in youtube tags like this:



And you end up with embedded youtube video right here in the thread.

This is the best thread EVER!!

nice work everybody

Lots closer now. Backpad is in, door panels installed and about to do the windshield seal. Decided she needed to be ready to be driven when she is started.

Need music.

Elissa!

Everyone there needs a big This is awesome!!

Buttercup is going to be one of the best looking cars ever!



I believe "Buttercup - Lee" should receive COTM!!!

Buttercup LIVES!!!. Video to follow!

Guys, just a heads-up: Buttercup is in the running for COTM!

Someone should post some photos/videos to the COTM thread as soon as possible to garner some more votes!

We can hardly stand the suspense!

I just had a thought. I didn't notice in any of the videos... Did anyone ever bleed the brakes?

Prettiest noise I've ever heard.

Linky no worky...

Mike and I did that while Wayne and Evil where filling the tranny

You guys rock!

This is one of the best events ever held!

What. A. Time!
Wayne and I had 2 hours of snow and ice and then it started clearing up. We're trucking south towards Witchita Falls in the clear eating cookies. Can't wait to see the videos. Y'all missed one big adventure by not coming.

Safe travels guys!

My hat's off to you guys!!!

Awesome!

We just pulled into the metroplex in ft worth!

Inquireing minds want to know.
Is Buttercup complete?
Did everyone go home?
Did anyone take her for a drive?
A drive, Yes that is what we want to see!
Oh and a big hats off to all who worked on this and donated parts.

You guys truly . Amazing what you did in 3 days.

Congratulations to all involved.

John

To all of the above! You guys are awesome!

The burning question is, has Elissa learned to drive a stick, and, if she learns to drive a stick on the 914 pattern will that ruin her for all other cars?

Oh that's right! She was learning to drive a stick. My 22 year old son could help you with that. Ok, just sayin..

Day 3 video ended at 1.30am..it was a tough build but almost complete. Ed, Clay, Dr, and a few others stayed most of the day on Sunday working, and we'll get a more complete report soon. I think it's 80%. It's the small stuff that takes time but Mary has the car in the 9th inning and she's ahead! Great Family. We'll be seeing more her here here soon, I think.

Thanks for the up date Bill! You all did an amazing thing this weekend.

Nice Work Everyone - hats off to you

IMO Someone that was there should write a story about this, complete with pictures and send it in to Panorama or Excellence to be published. This is the kind of thing people love to read about. Great job guys!!

Yes I'm getting the raw footage and cutting a video for a future Porsche 914 TV program, That I'm getting together, Just seeking some funding,So all you 914 lover and builder look out. cause I may be a calling,for your story.

Nice!


Wish i could have been there ...

Hello everyone-

First, a HUGE thank you to EVERYONE who worked so hard to make the Lee Cyr Memorial Build Off Classic a success. The entire weekend was absolutely amazing.

Mike (kansas914), Dr. Evil, Ed (ejm), and Donald (hot_shoe914) took off for the other side of Kansas around 9pm, where they'll be spending the night at Mike's house before heading on to their respective homes.

While we didn't get to drive Buttercup far (a combination of terrible weather and a few parts that weren't working right that the guys will be able to fill you in on better than I can), my mother was able to start her and drive in reverse about 10 feet to get her off the lift. So we can officially say that Buttercup drove on her own!

To those that were curious- I've had a couple stick driving lessons, have plans for more, and hope to get to drive Buttercup the next time I come home to Kansas (early summer?!?). We did take plenty of pictures of me in the driver's seat posing, though!

There will be more photos posted to my flickr account tonight and through the rest of the week. I'll try to drop by here with some of the best when I get a chance.

Again, thank you so much to everyone who had any part in this. You all made my family very happy, especially my mother, and we cannot thank you enough. It was great getting to meet those of you that made it down, and I hope I'll get to meet more of you in the future.

One more photo-

Just a quick note that Ed, Hot_Shoe, Dr Evil and I arrived in Wichita safe and sound - wild ride at times with Hot_Shoe doing donuts in McDonald's parking lot!!

Cheers and Good night!
