    GO PORSCHE! That cage is awesome. The 914 was a flexi flyer but those monster gussets will sure help.

    Willing to share what that project cost?

    Not being aware of the particular issues with the 914 I wondered about all the gusseted structure, but now I know.

    You should build bridges.

    it helps that the 914 is VERY light, so extra tubes and gussets are an easy call. And Blake has got great welding skillz.....

    Did all the work myself. Cage, trans rebuild, engine, header. I have not added it up but I would say just either side of 10K.

    The wheels are 1980's vintage Jongbloed's. They use an 1.5" long shank nut. I found some but have to go through one of there dealers. We will see how that goes tomorrow.

    Thanks for the cost estimate. I dreadfully estimate about $20K on the ITR 968 - we'll see when it's finished. Was hoping to hold it to about $12K and then figured I'd have a street car with a roll cage. At least this build leaves little on the table - only think left would be a Milledge engine.

    It went very well. Left with a 2nd and 3rd. And only small items to fix.
