The difference from the bottom of the tire and the top of these shims on the ground ; shows just enough gap to allow tire removal/ replacement when the air-jacks activate with a 9" ram stroke.

Precise assembly fixtures assure precise mandrel forming / exact fit to the engine of the finished header...

Need to keep the hood-pins symmetric...so these are held in place in this welding fixture

The V-band-clamp + ring flange will be the joint style being utilized on our headers/ turbo exhaust system.

Hello Renn fam,

Wanted to share with you some various updates & what we've been up to.

Finally installed the Auto Atlanta tail light buckets & smoked lenses. They really tie in well with the white & black theme of the car.

After some finessing of the Sheridan (914 Rubber?) tail light areas of the fenders, they popped right in.










We threw the rear bumper on just to see the car somewhat more complete. Soon enough.. soon enough..



The amazing grill work Marty has been working on for some time now. As you can tell with most of this build, we're trying to remain as "914" as possible. This GT - esque grill was originally 2 separate grills. Almost time for paint!



Marty has also been hard at work building the shorty headers w/ V band clamps for the Cayenne TT block. Once finalized, they'll be off for black ceramic coating, and we'll move on to the remaining portions of the exhaust.





Gotta represent!

I like the look of the top of the engine peeking out above the grill.

Glad that it merits your approval !
...more "Drive-train through body" designs will be present at the rear trunk area

Yes we have just completed a short mfg run of 12 sets of these; made from exact assembly jigs sourced from our LM24 hr. #40 car. For exact info on these gt racing headers, contact me at Tech@msdsinc.com and I will set up an order for you.
