New project at the Metal Surgeon: a 1969 912 which will essentially be outlawed with aluminum components, some handmade, and some bought. Original steel mildly customized to aid mechanical air flow. The drive train will be a custom form, this is where we'll let the project manager chime in: Chris Pomares.
Here's a few original shots of the project before disassembly.

That looks like a damn near perfect 912 that doesn't need anything!
It's a 1969 52,000 mile car that's going back to it's original Ultra Blue color. The owner who is part of this community want's to keep it a 4 cylinder car. It will get a small bump in displacement from 1.6 to 2.7 POLO. As Jon does his thing, the rest of the car is being refurbished. Window trim to True6, gauges to Seattle Speedometer, transmission upgrade, (Wavetrac TBD, different gears, all new bearings, etc.). Elephant Racing stuff, Rebel Racing stuff, brakes to PMB (vented M rear, vented ATE Euro 323iS front, cryoed rotors), etc., etc.
First task making a custom rear licence plate cover panel.We are using the original yellow fiberglass 70's offering as our pattern.

Always get a blast out of your progress,,,,, and that, people is what I call an "outlaw licence cover panel" .
The "old school" fog light recess certainly beats the hell out of what the 'stock' ""bolt on add on"" looks like and now we can see by the timers how long this 'art' takes to do :)

Nice work
If thats a Alloy front bonnet, I will advise to make a reinforcement plate of some kind ,where the lock is on the inside of the bonnet
its so fragile the alloy skin ,so once you tight the bolts for the upper lock you will have 2 dents in the bonnet :-( speaking from experience
M
it is,and thanks for the heads up .Will look into that.Quote:

My 12 year old son was looking at this thread this weekend (well he was looking over my shoulder at the time),, asking this and that ,, as kids do, he recons that he should forget the metal and woodwork class at school.
He went off on his own and read up on line about annealing and said "they havnt got that hot enough to make it soft" but figured it out when he realised it was Aluminum
Think you guys should GoPro it all and condense it into a video for the youth to see how things used to be done.
Wooden jig and all.
Awesome as always.

I have a small front spoiler on my car. We used the extra mounting brackets on this 69 car I had laziered when I did my car. This spoiler (splitter?) is much nicer than mine. I'll get one of these done for my car at some point. The front of my SWB 67 got light above 90 to 100 mph, especially in a crosswind. After installing the splitter the car is very planted north of 100 mph. I think this car will be even better than mine.

That little fan is a 3 phase fan and can take 25 amps. We'll only run 8 to 10 amps through it. It's used for radio controlled hovercraft. At 5 amps it shoots around on the floor. Jon has designed baffling to direct air through, over, under, and to the outside of the battery box when the car is moving. The whole cooler will get air flow. The fan is for stop and go city driving.

Wondering...what is reSee?
reSee works is a place for those of us that like to personalize our cars and have a little Outlaw, Renegade, or Rgruppe blood flowing through our veins.
That was copied off my website. www.reSeeworks.com.
I've had the good fortune to work with Dave DiMaria (Vintage Car Works) for a couple years restoring cars exactly like they left the factory. Stock is great but it's not for me. To be honest I relate to Ferdinand Porsche when he said, "I couldn't find the sports car of my dreams, so I built it myself".
Whatever sport, hobby, I've taken an interest in my whole life, I've personalized my equipment. After spending time with any mass produced thing I end up personalizing it. I re-See it. I find little niches if you will. Like a 4 cylinder 911 engine in a 900 series long hood car. The car has been written up 3 times. If I had built the 200th 912-6? Maybe if I was Daniel Ricciardo's dad. There are now 3 on the road and 6 to 8 more in the works that I know of. I like the challenge of doing what's never been done before.
It has attracted people who want one. Now it's turned into a small niche of like minded souls.
I've been very fortunate to work with someone like Jon the Metal Surgeon and several others in the Vintage Porsche world. But my greatest bit of good fortune is having the owner of this car be someone who has turned out to be a great friend. I'll leave it up to him to determine if he wants his name revealed.
I’m betting that there’s a fair amount of us guys/gals that prefer our cars tailored to our choice of “custom” rather than the the way they originally left the factory. The good thing is that there’s plenty of room for both. I, like a lot of people here, have an extremely hard time leaving anything mechanical alone. We enjoy a hobby that by its nature builds relationships as we interact with likeminded individuals. Some of my best friends have come from this sandbox. We not only share in the hobby but far more importantly (to me at least) life.Quote:

I just wonder whether Porsche sealings are so soft that they won't compromise the gaps.
On my BMW 1600 Convertible the doors were pretty good - well only if if you had no seals.
Once the rubber seals were mounted the doors had up to 4 mm at the lower end.
thanks for following.The seals will zero impact on gapping dimensions.The seals do impact depending on quality and vendor, the panel transfer from bolt on panel to fixed body panel typically pushing out the weaker,ie the bolt on panel,door ,hood,engine lid etc.Quote:

Next project up on the reSee build is oil line air intake and exhaust cover panels to serve as protection and cosmetically pleasing to the eye.
Creativity begins to flow and we can draw on influences of projects we have had in the shop over time as well as the internet for research and ideas.
So below is a 1959 Porsche 718rsk spyder recently completed at our shop ,and this car was my first stop for idea influences for the 912 reSee build.

I've been busy with Kermit a 69 911E and parts for the 912 POLO build. When Kermit is done I'll refocus on the 912 POLO car. The calipers are from a BMW 323iS Euro. These ATE's have 3 inch bolt spacing, 48 mm pistons, and pads like the SC A's with the corners trimmed to clear the 3.0 bolt pattern. That's a M caliper pad on top.
Here are a couple more pictures. The engine is only 16 inches long, 7 to 8 inches shorter, and 80 to 100 pounds lighter than a 6. This car gets a 2.7 and should make in excess of 210 HP, and big torque with it's 105 slugs.
