Nice work guys!

Gorilla welds, strong and ugly!

Work was a bit slow today. It took me 3 hours just to drive from Oakland to Sonoma! Damn bay area holiday traffic jam madness ...


Anyways, here are the pics.
We started work on the roof-line by raising the middle targa bar about 1".
That allows for a straight metal roof section between the front targa top and the rear targa top.
Because the 914 roof slopes down towards the rear we would otherwise have a weird dip in the roof-line.

Next weekend, we'll build the metal framework for the center section of the roof.

Will the string be used as the intercom system? Nice werk fellers, you guys got tallent.

Nice "Lines"

Keep up the good, er, Great work!

It could have gone either way... It might have been a hang out day because the autocross at Infinion was just 20 minutes away with Holiday weekend traffic or work on the limo... Andy was the strong one. I think Mark was leaning toward the hang out day.

I wish I had my camera with me when I told Scott Yeaman that Andy and Mark were building a 914 limo. The look on his face was pure amazement.

I got the replacement control arm bead blasted for my car after it's WCR tangle with a rock. Mark will powdercoat it later.

Are those threaded rods holding up the roof? (pre weld pictures)

It looks like you welded a nut to the roll bar, then adjusted with a threaded rod...

Oh, and the project is still looking great! I've been enjoying the build, thanks again for sharing.

cool project - will be interesting to see how it ends up when it is finished

You guys are Crazy!!!!!

And I mean that in a good way. Man, I can't wait to get a ride in that. The stuff of legends!

Jim

Yeah, we used threaded rod to set the height of the rollbar. The top was latched on, front and back to keep everything stable. Then we ran a string from the front of the car to the back of the car to approximate the desired roofline. Then we brought up the targa bar to get close to the line, exactly where we wanted it. With this technique, we could test different heights, look at things from across the room, and take measurements to make sure everything was matched.

The donor parts car has arrived ....

Andy

This project needed a bit of a kick start. I think this will do the trick...

You got an extra case with it??? Hmmmm... What diabolical projects could we do next??? Oh, and how did you get from Napa to Hwy. 5 and back to Sonoma by 10am?

Flat 12 cylinder?

This car is going to hit the show circuit for sure, when not being utilized by members.

914Limo could remain mid-engine and the lump could be mounted in the new mid-section (think 944 differential), this would allow a 'rumble seat' using the engine bay as the foot well and the rear trunk lid could reverse hinge. Talk about a hood ride...

The weight balance however would remain perfect.

The six isn't actually going to power the limo. It's just a fancy looking seat.

I still have those rear bilsteins for you. Im gonna wait till my car is painted then Ill get them to you if you still want them

Mark and Andy,
Cool build thread, can't wait to see it finished.

Dave

Andy, absolutely.

So, did anything get done today? Do tell oh Big Brained One!

Yes.

Ahh... Stealth work. I see he said without seeing anything at all...

Here are a few pics. I got off to a late start due to me signing the lease to my new house this AM.

We did some more work on the roof-line and the sail-panel/side-window area today.

Unfortunately, the front angle and rear angle of a 914 side-window are not the same. We came up with a compromise where the center sail panel will be slightly wider on top and the front rectangular window on the rear door will also be slightly wider on top.
That will take care of the difference in angle.


Below are the pics of the guts of the new sail-panel ...

I also noticed that and I had to cheat when drawing this. All angles are changed to the same. That means custom side windows ...

Absolutely love it! Good work guys!

Nice work guys!

We also came up with an oil tank plan for the six. I had a few ideas that I've been mulling over for years and we talked them out and changed a few things and now we have a plan. Exciting things to come.

Can't wait to see that one. I think i'll work great ...
Andy

Let's see a current side view of the whole car!

Roll that puppy outside and snap a few

project is coming along nicely!!!

project is coming along nicely!!!

We need a drivers door first. The sideview doesn't work without both doors ...
Andy

Do you not have a door at all? If you can't get one closer I have a couple here. There heavy but I think they could ship Greyhound pretty cheap. LMK.

The Bilsteins are yours!

Will be delivering two doors this Saturday . . .

Andy, you should come get the paperwork at some point. My emails and PMs don't seem to be getting through.
