Installed some heat wrap on the oil line from the tank to motor... Intention is to keep some of the header heat out of the oil:

Here's another thing to think about. I wrapped all my lines on the race car but found that when I washed the engine off after a race weekend such as at Phoenix where it rained, they became a soggy mess and would generate tons of steam when they got hot. I finally took that off and made some removable blanket types for the lines.

Well, the dash top or pod over the gauges is finally installed and complete. I've got to throw out a HUGE thankyou to Dr. Evil on this one. Mike did such a nice job getting it smoothed out and covered. It was really in bad shape and cracked. Since the dash is moved forward about 6inches from stock, we had to custom shape all of the edges to fit the non-stock dash contours:

more good advice.

I know the orange heat cover and the silver heat cover on all the fuel lines are the blanket type, but the one on that pictured oil line is a wrap... Its and adhesive style that may or may not give me problems. I'll definitely mull that over and watch it. Thanks again John.

Hope people aren't sick of the dash pictures yet.
It was such a ton of work and I'm really happy with the way it came out. Probably explains the shutter happy picture count:

Last dash shot. You can more clearly see some of the custom contouring that went into making the pod fit the remaining dash:

My latest six project is no race car, but some of what you have done here has inspired me to do certain things on my 914. One thing I love about this club is the great ideas you get from other 914 owners. So thanks for that!

I don't suppose you have a picture of the car as a whole handy? I gotta check the back pages of this thread...... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool.gif)

Not really any whole pictures. On the first page there is a side view of the chassis in whole (with the doors/hoods/roof missing).

There is also a whole picture from the seller in the "before" state.

I should be mounting body panels and doors before too long and will have some shots at that time. I've got a few more body panel tricks up my sleeve.

Last of the pics from this work weekend. We installed the lexan rear windown. On the passenger side it has venting for interior air comfort, that we cut out. Here is the view from the inside.

The big white beast (through the window) is my new to me tow vehicle:

Ok, I'm pulling my own thread off topic now..
