New Kid on the Block

[JKH]

Trying to get my 15yr old going on a car project , Since he likes green here it is, a 73 1.8

[JKH]

So he has been helping me a bit.
He also has discovered this awesome sport;

and thinks he should have a water pumper

[Dave_Darling]

Get the 914 driveable. If one drive doesn't convince him that it beats the heck out of any waterpumper, take the 914 for yourself and let him go H2O. ;)

--DD

They like what they like Jeff. Nicho has his eye on the Z car instead of either Porsche...

[JKH]

Air versus H2O

[gms]

They like what they like Jeff.
Sad but true

[JKH]

I am still a hair bigger than him , tuff love then he can have what he wants for a daily driver.
This is going to be a play toy all in good fun.

So... If I'm looking at the picture right; you're going to put "Beetle" fenders on it? Should be a cool mod! :D

father/son play toy , off road only for him.

so 9th grade engineering design class , Chris made me this;
So I am thinking he thinks his dads a yoyo that likes porsche ? or he made me a yoyo with the porsche logo on it ?
either way pretty cool for 9nth grade, and he didnt have to touch a mill or lathe

good eye, yup we have 11 rear bug fenders to slice and dice over the holidays to try and get the berg cup look and fit the 12 inch wide goodyears.

a little exercise in custom work for the boy

[Robby]

I asked Nicho again last night at dinner what car he would pick if he could from my cars and this time he said the 911. I asked him why and he says that he thinks of the 914 as more of a race car. I told him it has a license plate and can be driven on the street, I just usually don't. Now he is interested.

Oh and Jeff, I want a billet aluminum yoyo with Porsche emblems on the sides! Please Please!!!

Did you weld the flares on the quarter panels before you mounted them?
seams like a great idea, much easier to weld but does alignment become an issue.

[JKH]

Shiny:D and not so shiny:eek:
off to the blasters so we can weld clean. Looks rough, I have a plan.

[JKH]

:) progress

engine lid design prototype , no decision , 15 yr olds, 2 steel patterns and one aluminum, I have to Thank Unkl Als Emporium in bullhead city arizona for the louvers. 25 years ago he punched 230some louvers in a CJ -5 hood for me and I had a hard time finding him , nobody does 6,5,4,3 inch louvers like his.
The lids need a little english and will be great . the final design I cant show Yet. Oh Ya think 906 & WWII German helmet
