Dang, that is some heavy surgery right there. The fenders look great.

Are the warts and wart holes going to go away?

I love the warts - they stay.

I agree. The amber over gold looks good!

They will look better on Michaels' car than they did hanging in my shop. I got them to black hole for my own 6, but it's found a new home.

You and Mr. Banananose like those damn warts. I'm going to scrub 'em if I can get Kent to paint my car.

Scrub a dub, dub, the warts stay on the tub.

You have another career awaiting you Jim....song writer.

To add to his illustrious comedy writing and parking lot stand up routine?

You never want to limit your options.....

Donor rear fender. Great condition. Got the car in the shop and I'll start removing it tomorrow.

Terrific looking parts. Thanks for posting the pictures Kent.

Wow, you won't even have paint that fender.

Kent, say it isn't so. Your cutting up the "green hornet"? So much history.

Hi Kent,

What's the plan with the green 914 once you remove the r/r quarter ?

Keep up the great work..

Sorry Dave, it's gotta go.

Hi Luke,
I'll be parting it out. Some parts will go to my six. PM if there's anything you need.

Sadly, in the wild, some must die so others may live. Here we have a very nice green car giving its life to help others in need. We offer thanks and bow our heads in prayer.

..."it's the circle...the circle of life"....

I wish my car was that clean to start with as the green car..

Wish my right inner fender looked like that.

Nice looking fender Kent. How is the backside?

Yep, the green hornet is a very nice car. I dated all my wives in that little beauty. I still want to buy the seat.

The seats have been dispatched to the Smithsonian.

No rot, I'll take a pic tomorrow.

Cant' wait to see that baby media-blasted and ready to be installed. Thanks Kent for pulling that terrific quarter off and making it available for my car. This is going to be one tight and straight chassis.

Amazed at what nice donor parts you guys get out west...the stuff in the east is usually almost as rusty as the stuff being replaced!

Believe me, I know.....

That's why I'm buying the $500 chassis.

Mark - The Green Hornet's chassis? Or another one?
Cheers,
Michael

Uh, Dave. Don't you mean you got pregnant in that car? I think your last kid had my eyes. I initially thought that the 914 was a small car, but you sure changed my mind. You are one flexible lady. I want to thank you for that. And Kent, don't use any black lights near that car. You may see some things you don't want to see.

Did this come off of a 76?

Wow. Just know that we're here to help you. Nobody is going to hurt you. Just let the nice men put the nice white coat on you. We've told you before to wear a mask when you help Kent with the paint work.

So True. What we think is nice vs what is really nice. Hopefully west coasters understand "that" when making a purchase from the EC? And living in the south where minimal salt is used on the roads in the winter- we stay clear of used vehicles from the North...

Progress pics.

More.
Ready for media blasting.

Oh that looks very nice. We now have an early front panel.

Notice how the picture of the nice spot welds is Crystal clear, then the one with the nasty seam welds is all out of focus, then the ground nice finished panel is all crisp again!!!!

Makes an amateur newbie panel welder feel better!! Thank god for grinders!!

Very nice!

Love that fix. I have to do the same thing.

"Amateur newbie panel welder", that's funny.

Me too, I have 2 nos late panels

Great thread ! Kent, thanks for posting all the pics, it's a treat seeing your work

Thanks Rick.
