  • build to drive

    hello my name is michael and this is my 1967 911 build

    i have had it for a couple of years now. My dad owned this car since i was a little kid but i only got to ride in it a few time because he sent it to a friends paint shop to get painted but ended up sitting for several years. The shop would eventually close down so we grabbed the car before it was lost. It sat at my house for another year or so until he said if you wanna get it running you can have it or we can sell it..so i began to build it.

    the car sat without much protection or starting for over 7 years and this was the result..



    interior full of parts, rust, and carburetor swimming pools

    first step: first time everything
    as you can imagine, the gas tank was full of old gas and rust. over the first couple weeks, we cleaned and re-sealed the tank and ran new gas lines. After point, plugs, etc.. it was time for my first carb rebuild



    once it was running alright. re-jetted and tuned the carbs, upgraded the ignition for better spark and went for it with my first paint job.
    40$ worth of rustoleum and thinner, a light sand and tack cloth, and ofcourse a couple friends to keep me company and get a crack at painting..


    this is how she would sit for a few months before i actually began to go deeper into the car at the same time teaching my self to weld and fabricate(pc:dohcresearch)

      Jealousy. Carbs are beautiful. Pictures are sick. you wouldnt happen to have a full size pic of those carbs would you? They'd make a mighty fine wallpaper.

                            the best way to learn is to do it..
                            some may think im crazy for tackling this part by myself without little to no welding experience but i did anyways.
                            what my floor pan looked like, i could barely jack up the car without punching a whole through the floor












                            my first time actually welding. I only practiced on scrap metal to get a feel for it but never welded my car before. Sorry dont really have pics of the end result but the suspension bolted back up fine and the car drives perfect! dont mind the sparks on my leg, and yes i weld in slippers and shorts.im from hawaii. haha just kidding
