From the other side. Volt-meter was missing in that last shot, but installed in this one.

We're running a hotlap and next to it is our fuse panel

(aluminum tach mount, was another of dad's little creations):

You’re doing an excellent job on putting this car together. What are you going to run- PCA? Vintage? I ran the same tach in the 914. If you have not run one before you’ll love it. You’ll really like the shift light. It got to the point that I could see the light in my peripheral vision and stopped looking down at the revs. Looks like you’ll be on the track when the snow melts.

Thanks for all the kind words. Its really a boost to hear all the feedback.

Its primarily a vintage car and will be heavily outgunned in PCA GT-5, but I'll run some PCA too just for fun.

I really like the shift light idea to help me prevent over-revs while downshifting... I've not run a shift light previously and have been told that I will learn quite a bit about my downshifting.

Our 1st event is a drivers school is march, which I would love to do again. However Its going to be tight if I can finish the project in only 8 weeks (plus my brother-in-laws wedding is in feb in NY and that will take up 2 of my weekends).

WOW! I just got back from spending a weekend with this most impressive car!!!!! Ladies and Gentlemen, those of you who have not had the pleasure to SEE in person, even though these pictures present this car well, they absolutely do it no justice! If you were looking up the word "sorted", there should be a picture, with attending written copy, describing this very car!!! In idle conversation, wherever car enthusiasts meet, you might hear wafting through the air "...yeah, I've gone through EVERYTHING, suspension, brakes, fuel, oil, motor, paint, roll cage, flares..." quickly followed by... "oh, you mean like the McClung car?" And invaritably, the reply would be,"oh no, I didn't have the time or the desire to go that far...."

A tangerine dream in flowing, flared form, fabulosly fabricated with wonderful aluminium accents! The Georgia peach of south-east Colorado!

Wow!

How can the rest of us ever hope to achieve that kind of praise.

Corby...

thanks for the kind words but put down the bottle you've been cut off...

just kidding... but its not all that.
I have really tried, and I'm sure you can tell from your observation of our anal-ness that alot of heart and soul are in there... Still its just a car.

thanks man

Yep! I don't feel like I can add praise higher than what's above. This is a beautiful project!

These aren't all that clear, but here is our MC brace. This came up in a different thread. We've run this same brace on our -4 cylinder car for 5-8 years. It takes out the "flex" in the floorboard. Its easy to bolt it onto an aluminum cross-brace, but shouldn't be too hard to weld, or bolt to a stock steel cross-brace:
