While at Brumos I ran into our own Eric Shea, what are the chances?

Got a ride in Mike's 914 and it was a brute sounding and performing car.

One of the coolest things that happened to me at last years Amelia was meeting Jacky Ickx. Got to listen in on some conversation. I've not met many race car drivers, let alone a famous one who won 6 times at Le Mans!

I thought the Throttle linkage was too close to the axle.

Well here is something I did toward the end of 2020 just before Christmas, I bought this beautiful 10 K tach from Tony, AKA retroracer, who builds them and sells here on 914 World.

Seeing the 10K tach on the Brums car picture reminded me I had purchased this beauty.

It will certainly help with the GT look. I have not installed it as yet but it is on the list! Beautiful piece. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif) and he even wrapped it for Christmas!

When I realized 2 days ago, awakened by eric9144's thread on "Big Laguna", that I was woefully behind in posting anything and wondered how does that happen? Well for me it has been quite the year and I don't mean all the Covid stuff but that I was pulled in a lot of different directions, mostly good, but not necessarily car related.

I committed to post some of the things that happened over several posts as I gathered up what I could find pictures of.

In addition to the 6 month deck project shown earlier, I built custom cherry cabinets for my son over another several months.....

One of the longer term small projects I have been working on is to have an early jack in my trunk as opposed to the correct for the year green dot jack that a '74 would have.

When I got the car it did not come with a jack so I posted a WTB green dot jack. Rhodyguy answered and I bought one from him.

It was not until years later I realized that an early jack just looked better to me. I eventually located one and restored it.

Next, I needed the correct bracket for an early car. Finding one was not straight forward as to my knowledge no one sells just the bracket. The jack just sat while looking.

Finally, it occurred to me that I have bought parts from Garold before and wondered if had a parts car with one, so I reached out to him and he quickly came through for me. He literally cut the fender piece with the bracket still welded and sent it to me. I ground the welds and separated the two, cleaned up the bracket and primed it.

Next step paint match for my car as it was painted about 1998 I did not have the match.

I plan to JB weld when painted. It fits very well. More to come.

That roof came out incredible (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif)
Like that you filled the rain channels (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif)

Sounds like the local C&C put on by the PCA is finally going to start back up at the end of this month, hopefully will catch you at those (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Thanks Eric!

Have not been to PCA C&C for a while, I know they have kept on having it just not SDPCA sanctioned again until now. Plan to be a the next. I'll text you. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
