Oops! Missed a pic........... one of the best!

WOW!

Very nice. I want to see the leather covered dash cap - I might have him do mine as well! Is it complete - and with a picture??

He still has that left to do, as the dash cap is in Nebraska. I'll pick it up next week for Fernando to cover. And, he is waiting for fiberglass reinforcement for the seat back panel (or whatever it's called!)

I can't wait to see it

Speaking of... Hey Duc! We probably ought to get moving on that muffler. I might make it out for the February build, but I'm only planning on the January recon mission.

Cool, Were getting closer!

Rick, when you get a final number for the build off weekend could you let me know please. There might be a little something extra for all the attendees.

Very cool Donald! Another reason for joining in on the fun!

wow, that is a VERY cool interior!! looks great!

Here is a photo Mike took of the seats before restoration. Browsing all the photos, I had truly forgotten how much rust there was. Thanks for your support!

Awesome Mary! This is really getting exciting!

Hi Tod,

I received the parts today - thanks a million. They look awesome - nothing like NOS 914 parts to make me smile!

I also got the check for the T-shirt - you will be added to the run when it happens - which will be soon!

Anyone that wants a t-shirt - click on the link in my sig (it still shows a little without scrolling)

Mike my pleasure. Glad I could help out alittle. If you guys run short on rivets, let me know Wish I knew before Rick picked up a set. Hope the project goes well for you all.

The bus got in Saturday. I picked the muffler up at the Greyhound station today.

2Xl will work for most, but don't you have anything bigger for us tall fat guys?

I am still in need of a roomie for the build weekend. I will arrive Friday morning and probably leave Monday morning so if you are planning to attend and would like to save a few bucks by splitting a hotel room just let me know.

Buttercup was moved from the body shop to the "Build" location today, thanks to Dan and Rudy. I will move mountains of parts, and boxes of parts from 914world members, starting tomorrow. This car, and the "Lee Cyr Memorial 914 World Build Off Classic", is going to be amazing......Click to view attachment

These are the kind of things in life that make a difference. We have a great team assembled for February.

See Ya Saturday Mary!

A cot in the garage for Don?

I can't wait to see the pictures of the progress. A big shout to all those are helping on this.

Nice looking car Mary! Not long now....

Heading out in the early morning for the recon mission.

Be Careful Guys....Bad Weather! Buttercup needs some sunshine.

Rest of Tonight
Snow late in the evening...then snow likely after midnight. New snow accumulation of 1 to 2 inches. Total snow accumulation 1 to 7 inches. Lows around 14. North winds 10 to 15 mph. Chance of precipitation near 100 percent.

Friday
Mostly cloudy. A 20 percent chance of snow in the morning. Highs in the mid 20s. Northeast winds up to 15 mph. Lowest wind chill readings zero to 10 above zero in the morning.

Yeah, I've been watching the weather on the local news for days and paying particular attention to southern Colorado because Garden City is just east. Also exchanged a couple of emails with Mary last night and this morning. She says they got 3" of snow, which isn't bad, but none of my cruisers have adequate snow tires or even all seasons. So it looks like we might have to drive the truck. Which isn't bad either, but it doesn't get the best mileage in the world.

Whatever! It takes more than that to stop me! Picking Rick up at DIA later this morning and heading out early afternoon. Can't wait... road trip!

We got 4" here in Wichita - a little more north and south of us - I will head out at 5AM Saturday morning and arrive about 9AM - can't wait for Mary's homemade cookies!!

I will probably take an AWD vehicle (no 914 this time) but the roads should be pretty clear.

As a side note - after this weekend we will have to close the T-shirt orders so we can get them into production and have them ready and shipped prior to the build.

Rick and Mike are almost to Garden City, and the thermometer is showing a balmy 11 degrees! Luke's shop is nice and warm for Rick, Mike and Mike to review all of Buttercup's parts, starting tomorrow. I have LOTS of parts to clean before "the Build". I'll attach a photo of the table of parts that 914World members so generously sent to Buttercup. Thanks so much! I'll keep you posted!

Nice. I'll be glued to this post all weekend as I'm anxious to hear about next steps...

I drove my teener to work in the sleet and snow today just to practice for the Buttercup run to Kansas. Looking forward to arriving with the top off!

for a new member. Okay, so I like reading it too.
