I made this punch that screws into the Jig. Once the long is welded in place, with a lite tap on the suspension consol, It will leave a dimple and I will have perfect center for boring the hole that the suspension arm mounts to. I'll drill the hole once the car is on the rotisory.

looking good!
BTW the inner rocker cover you have is incorrect for an early (70-72) car

This is the correct part

If you end up needing that outer panel I have the correct section. Just needs blasting

Ah Ha! I see. This part came off the 73 Donor. Thanks for catching that and letting me know. I would have probably noticed...after I welded it on.

I'll PM you about the peice/section that you have.

Thanks again.

Got the front corner clip and inner long tacked in place. I blasted then coated the areas with brush on weld through primer. As it is heated when welding, it melts and coats the weld area to protect it. All these areas will also be sprayed with a primer once the car is completed using internal frame coating spray.

So, Restoration Design only makes the inner rocker panel (left) for the late cars? Their part has the two curved bump outs:

Wow! Great, great stuff. I haven't been this happy since the day my wife left. Not really, she's still here. I can talk a big game because she's upstairs. Anyway, the gaps look bad ass. Thanks for all your attention to detail. The car has hit bottom and now she's starting to rebound. Thank you!

Hey, Old Yella. Thanks for the doors.

Love spot welders

Yes, worth the investment. I think of all the plug welds I didn't have to grind and how fast and easy the spot welder is.

I need to invest in one too.. Keep up the great work.

Wow, top notch work!

Spot welders...

John

Where did you get that set of wide arms? I have the same spot welder but I have two arms like your lower arm.

Awesome Brings back some memories

Thanks Luke.

These arms were with it when I bought it. I've seen used ones on ebay and craigslist. I've been looking for a longer set.

Thanks John.

Thanks for the link! I could use a wide set of tongs!

Hey Kent. Thanks for the great work. Hey Rick. Did you say tongs or thongs?

So, this is Jim's car, and then you dig into your /6? Or, are you doing them both at the same time?

That looks very nice. Seeing how these cars go together is always interesting.

His then mine, though I am collecting and retsoring parts for mine for now. I'm anxious to start on mine.

This is pretty self-explanatory but this was an easy way to use tape to locate and transfer the holes into the new piece. The holes were in the outer long but covered with the sill plate (once sill plate was placed) so I used tape to map their location and pulled it back, welded then laid the tape back over to give me the location to drill the hole in the new piece.

Looks great. Excellent work.

Really great work. I saw Andys car and its amazing. Best of Show was not surprising at WCR 2015. If you dont mind PM me I would love to stop in bring coffee, sweep floors, lift parts, hold parts anything to see this car in person, Really PM me I am a die hard free hand if you need... Yes I said FREE????

Hi Ken,

How's the work going on the 6's ?
Think it's time to give this a update

Take care,

Progress pic. It will be going on the rotisserie to start working on the pans etc. soon.

I'm sure Sir Jim can't wait to see his 914-6 restoration finish! Although he is driving another white 914-6 for now. Thanks for the update of the restoration Kent! And next time your own /6 will be next. But can you make another restoration thread for your car?

The car looks great Kent!
very nice work

Very nice work.

Looking very nice.
