When I was working on the left pillar today, I noticed that the right pillar (out of a '66 car that already was welded to the heater channel) had a different shape, Damn... how Manny differences can you have >.

The left pillar is ready, well maybe a few tab's with a hammer away from being ready.



On these picture's you can see that the pillar out of the '66 car has a sharp bent, a '56 car does not have this bent.



So after I finished the left pillar I took out the grinder again and started to make the '66 look like a '56.

The result; '66 metal that looks like a '56. 8)

Had a day off today, this meant I was still working only not at the office > sometimes I hate customers.
Between telephone calls I did some work on the oval.

cut the pillar along the line and left the inner plate.



I had to cut out some more rust.


a little test fit, when it all fits I can weld on a piece of flat with the inner plate underneed.


some more test fitting.

And where getting close.


The innerwings are different to the original oval wings, but i have to cut out the most to make room for the 914/911 front suspension..

Great work again!! A true metal master! Nice brake proportioning valve. I will be using a similar one also.

Thanx, I have a bias balancebar that can be adjusted with this cable and I have a 7 stage reduce valve on the back brakes. The correct setting must be there somewhere

Why do you have both? You ought to only need one particularly for a road car? The balance bar set up will give a huge variation in bias on its own.

My master cylinders are pretty big (both 1"). Not sure if I need it, but now I can hold back the front brakes with the bias and the rear with the 7 stage reducer. Time will tell.

I don't know what your brake caliper cylinder volumes are, but in my situation I chose MCs that were too large, 1" and 3/4" I think, so I'm going to have to down size to get some reasonable pedal pressure and travel, currently it's a little workout for the leg and moves about 1"....
