I was doing a rear trunk yesterday and today, and knowing how everyone likes to see every sqaure inch of a naked teener I shot some pics of a trunk cut apart. I forgot to take pics of the old trunk cut out before welding in the new, but I figured the " plugs " were the more interesting prts anyway Also note the replacemetn panels do not have the holes cut out. If you don;t care about the originality, I personally would leave them be, one less place tro trap water I went ahead and put these in because I wanted to find out exactly how much more time it would take to do them. Now I need one of the expensive seam seal guns to get the finish just right My cheapo 150.00 gun wouldn't get it quite perfect Coat of selaer tomorrow and I move on to the next hole....hell hole.........

Oh and don't forget to swap your numbers over

It's all in the details, nice work!

Scotty I think if i had time...i would like to come down for a working holiday..I might learn a few things

I'll put you to work on MY car. Somebody needs to get on it

BTW does anyone know how the factory originally applied the seam sealer ? It looks like it was sprayed, but I find it hard to beleive a " standard " gun could lay it out so damn thick.

In that 356 video, I seem to remember them dipping long brushes into a vat of the stuff and then spreading/brushing it on. I've certainly taken some off that look smeared on with a finger...

?

How about something like THIS.

It looks like my working holiday may be spoken for....turned harlot on(this afternoon)...took her for a boot....OH-O low oil pressure...thats BAA-A-AD..
so we will see
i ve been itchin to take it apart anyhow, this may be sooner than i planned

I was able to match the factory finish with a Wurth gun but I wasted a lot, a lot of $35.00 a tube Wurth seam sealer just spraying it on cardboard to practice. We billed the extra seam sealer to the job, insurance paid, with a fight. I always liked fighting with them anyway.

Scotty,
How is the hell hole coming along?? The rear trunk looks great!!!
Jack

See, I think pete-stevers was joking about coming all the way down to visit, but I really could drive the hour or so up to richmond. Where in richmond are you located?

BTW, I have some work to do that I am hesitant to try myself. Might need your services.

Here ya go....

Seam sealing the German factory way.....

It's about 8 minutes into the video...

Scotty,
Do you have anymore pic's of the work you are doing on the silver 914? I think you were going to tackle the hell hole next.
Jack

Yep hell hole is done and car is gone. Moving onto the next one this week.

Not mine, dont care

Nice work Scotty!
Pat

Here's my junk.

Wow Scotty, lots of 914s to work on these days!

Hey Scotty,

I'm still willing to trade my RV for the work on my LE. Any interest?

Only if the RV is full of money I'd love to do your car, but unfortunately the credit card companies and the landlord won't take an RV as payment..... the batards

Maybe a possible trade for the labor part. I can provide all the paint and such. Then when I win all the prettiest car awards I can proudly say the Bee was brought back to it's original beauty by SCOTTY!

p.s. Of course I understand it wouldn't receive top priority, cash paying jobs pay the bills. I have two other ones so I would be extremely patient.

He is pretty fat with "show car" candidates, but not cash at the moment. If you were 1 year sooner maybe I tried to see if he could use the RV, but it just aint a gonna happen.
