Very nice, I was hearing in my head the A-team "I love it when a plan comes together." My tortie is looking out the window completely disinterested in the video. She adopted me through the cat distribution system basically walking through my front door one night and meowing feed me. 10 years later, she has a butler, multiple lounging spots, a meal plan, and medical coverage.

Love the attention to detail-not just the cosmetic but the accuracy of fitment on the constructed pieces.

Another great video! It's so nice to see the plasma cutter do it's thing. I usually have to hole saw some flat stock and cut it to length to obtain the same product...

I actually like the look of the transmission support tubes, it fills the space better and it just seems like it would geometrically make the strongest mounting point. Form follows function!
@attheredbarn1669Ай бұрын
Thanks for the support! I'm coming around on the look. And as I'm working up a plan for the exhaust, the struts may end up doing double duty as exhaust mount locations, so there's that.

Excellent work. That'll keep the rear well supported. I'm enjoying your build.

I like the way the supports look, function can be good form. You won’t see them with the trunk floor either.
@attheredbarn1669Ай бұрын
Thanks! I'm getting used to them. Remember, the plan is that the trunk liner will be removable so I do want all this stuff to be as nice to look at as possible.

A little hard to transport them to Hawaii. Plus I don't think our three are prepared to deal with kittens.

Looks like you might be able to use those struts as a place to anchor some exhaust brackets. This car is going to scoot.

Oh, I got BIG plans for the exhaust! Check back next week for details!

Maybe a heim joint on one end would have helped with angles and fitment ?
@attheredbarn1669Ай бұрын
Yep, I looked at using those but wanted to see if I could keep things cleaner looking. The good news is I can always swap out the ends to heims, should I decide to go that way. And yes, it would have made the fitment much simpler. But what fun would that have been? ;-)

I had a 54 beetle body so I built a tube chassis and am using a Passat/A4 1.8t and transaxle moved to the mid position. It’s been a long term project. I’ve been going through all you videos and have picked up so may ideas.

is modifying the rear control arms to make the hole the CV boot is in oval in the vertical plane? looks like there isnt anything in the way above there that stops you strengthening the top surface after suc a mod? control arms look like multipart welded construction only so should be a safe mode to also cut and weld.....

Possiibly but far simpler and faster to swap out the boots.

Hey, what is that song playing at or around 16:45 to around 17:00 or so. I like it a lot, but Shazam says it's Mams -Sleeping Forever, but I can't find it on Tidal or KZbin music

It's part of the audio selection available in Filmora, the video editor I use. It's called "Rhythmic Funk Beat". Sorry I can't offer more info.

@@attheredbarn1669 thanks brother, very jealous of your car. Have always loved the under appreciated 914, it is probably gonna feel amazing to drive, maybe not a Rolls Royce suspension feel but corner hugging euphoria for sure! I really appreciate you sharing your journey, since I can't have one, I can vicariously through you enjoy the experience! Cheers mate from Phoenix, AZ
