Dan, we need the follow up to the FOUR to SIX engine tin conversion.
I have a donor rear stock FOUR tin piece.
Tell us how to modify it and include pics if you can.
this weekend could prove interesting...
Thanks Dan!!
( you've saved me hundreds of dollars thus far )

I think a full size template would be cool. If anyone has a sketch I'll CAD that bad boy up and post the file link here.
I can even take several faxes and make one large template out of it.
Cheers

Okay can someone measure the one of the side pices for me? I need the width of the straight edge (forward end) that connects to the front tin. IIRC it is around 4" and has 2 holes in it.
Thanks

Kerry,
I've got 3 5/8 on my tin. I can trace a fax a copy if you like.

Thanks.
What I am trying to do is to take a good photo of both rear pieces and scale it up to 1:1 I have a photo with other pieces in it. If I can scale it so the known pieces are 1:1 then everything should work.
I am very close and will finish it tonight. If anyone has the real thing I would love to bounce some measurments off ya for you to compare
If I cna get it close I should be able to make a template. I can plot the full size template out at work and drop some into the mail to whom ever?
Cheers and I'll keep you guys posted

I have templates for the rear two pieces made out of plywood for the factory tin. I would be happy to copy a few off for some folks in paper or cardboard or something.
Check here to see how I modified the rear 914-4 tin instead. Much easier. Check the last couple of pages:

The 2 side pieces are easy, the front, not that hard either. The two rear pieces are sort of tough. They have "steps" in them. One like 2" and the drivers side like 1" step that make it so you have to spot weld pieces together. I have made a couople from the 3D templates I have. Easier to just use the 914-4 rear tin, drill a couple of holes and be done. It fits great.

I thought Dan was selling his tin in the resource area, I guess it's cheaper to do yourself but I would probably rather get Dan to make me up a set..which is what I was going to do. (I have enough projects on this car already).
