Full Version: Epic Scrap Metal.
Looks great on the road. It is really awesome how you can see the lines of both cars, but it is blended so gracefully. Well executed.
so EPIC!
Amazing! 
Incredible talent!
Amazing work.
Wow. Awesome. And at this rate you are practically creating 2 cars a year from the ground up to the rest of us average DIY restorers maybe completing one every 5-10 years. 
Terrific result...bravo! I am glad to see you enjoying the car...

Thank you so much for taking us on your trip of the life of a craftsman of extraordinary talents. More fun than reading a book. No need to Schwan's you. You know you have the right stuff.
I missed the part when you formed the plastic for headlight covers

Fake....i never saw any jackstands in the pics ! 
Wow. Hope your next project will be a Porsche or VW again.
Maybe we will see this car on one of the European shows, would be very cool to see this fast & great build in real life.

Beautiful work, thank you for sharing your time and effort
Amazing, hope you enjoyed HO, I could not make it, perhaps you should revive a dead Type34
Back when I was your age, me and some other guys from the 914 club site would all get together at someone's house, and we'd all bring the sawz-alls.
And we'd proceed to cut a 914 into parts small enough to fit into trash cans.
Sometimes the 914 would have a dent in a fender, or a small rust hole under the battery.
But that's was about the extent.
totally solid other than that. We'd just end up buying a running teener for a grand or less, part it out, and cut up what was left.
It's a good thing we didn't take pictures of the carnage, some of youse would go completely bat-shit crazy if you saw them!
Whenever i see someone go to great lengths to save an old rusted teener, I think of that.

669]Made a few parts in aluminum for the 914/6 project.The hub caps came out nice so I made caps for all my cars.I haven't drilled the trunk yet,so I'm not sure about that one.Not going to paint these parts,,,keep 'em raw is the plan.

Nice job! Judging by your last build, you should be done next week.
Your work is masterful and we sincerely appreciate the high skill and thousands of hours you invested in building this 904 inspired 914. Craftsmen like you are more than worth their weight in gold, and any restoration shop would bid high to get a person of your talent
Years ago when 914s were not worth much and body panels to repair them were still very expensive we designed this fiberglass kit to replace the four fenders and give the 914 a 904 inspired look, we sold many of the kits as a way to save an otherwise scrap 914 THEN the cars came up in value and we made our GT steel flares, and discontinued the 9014 project

Should I have not written that?

Incredible job. Most impressive thread / build I've ever seen. Hat off and congratulations!
You sir, are the Winner. Amazing build!
If youve never read this, you havent been here long enough 
Just an incredible journey through metalwork Well Done
On a side note...your working area is small, about the size of space my personal projects get built in at the shop. On various media sites that I surf around I've seen insanely good muscle car, race car and show cars built in home garages, rental storage sheds, etc. It just goes to show that if you are talented, you can probably build it in a basement ...a bit tough to drive a restored '65 Mustang out of that

Most amazing "914" build I've ever seen.
You are a true Master Craftsman.
ok had to bump this due to the recent link on other thread linking it, and having seen but forgotten, it should not be forgotten, in fact, i think that in the spirit of the upcoming 2021 Build off thread and contest , I hearby nominate this as the
2017-2019 Build off Champion/Special project build winner - or honorary COTY(CAR OF THE YEAR 2020/50th anniversary ? i know we just voted and have a new COTM but i think this needs a sticky, anyway - nominated for COTY
btw hope you are doing well in Norway, any new projects to share??
