I'm new to 914s and new to 914World.com and have been reading all I can before I start work on rebuilding my car. In the process I have read the 914 & 914-6 book by Dr B Johnson - a guide to originality - and on page 19 (bottom left) there is a curious picture of a 914-6 GT with a strange rocker panel that appears to have a fold-out section. What is this all about? If anyone has the same book and knows the answer I'd be grateful if they'd let me know.
Many thanks

Keith,
Must be because I have the original print copy, but bottom-left in my book shows an interior shot - rollbat visible.
Hmmm?
Pat
I have that picture too in my copy but it is centre page - the one I am on about is as attached (I hope!)
Click to view attachmentSo, now I'm curious. Brett's book is a valuable source, though the original had 5 or 6 errors in it.
So how many releases of this book have been made? I'll get the latest if I know what it is.
Pat
Pat (& anyone else) -
Where can you find the "Johnson" book? (author - not "part"!)
...and what is the correct full title & author's first name pleez, so I can google for used books too?
Pat - I just read on another thread from last year about your "floaters" etc. & I know what your going thru (but maybe not as bad?). Mine are like w]swarms of gnats flying by! I look at it this way....it keeps the wife & kids entertained when I try to bat at them dang gnats! Hang in there & hope you're getting better now.
We've also lost both sets of parents - mine & wife's! My Dad was also a chemist in his first career, worked at Koppers in PGH & held a peck of patents (Company did), including for that urethane varnish everyone uses. My brother & I helped him do the test-bed on paneling in our basement in PGH. Later he moved us all to San Diego in `63, where he worked for Whittaker on JPL & NASA stuff.
Only a fellow chemist or family member can appreciate that useless set of tid-bits! Sorry to the rest for that side-track, but hopefully it brightens Pat's day!
Best!
