Re: the choice for turn signal lenses:
First place: European. I REALLY like the way the clear lower section echos the white of the headlight surround.
Runner Up: US spec: It almost disappears, given the color of your car. Very clean.

I've never cared for the "all clear" as, to me, it looks too modern and you lose the visual cue of how the lens carries the fender curve over to the bumper top.

But that's just me.

Matt, you're going to have one of THE cleanest cars out there. You have certainly earned the right to be very proud of your efforts!

Good on you and thanks for all the detailed pics.

(Other than the fact that now I'm going to have to up my game on all the details of my build... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) )

Super-in-law was busy cutting up another car, but posed for a photo. I told him we needed one for a t-shirt that we can put him in a cape. "Super-in-law... Jack of all trades"

He is my hero


I've been after a Super In-Law t-shirt since I first learned about him!
And I agree, that right there would be a PERFECT pic for the shirt!

Suggestion: 914 Rubber needs to use this as the first in a series of "Caption this photo" contests.

The winning submission comment gets used on the t-shirt and the submitter wins a 914 Rubber gift certificate.

Something like:
"You need a patch panel? Hold on, I'll be right back!"

It's funnier when you see what he was doing.

Some pics from the guy that's building my engine today. Looks like I will need to clean the case up a little bit when I get it back (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

Got them mounted and realized I didn't assemble it correct and had to take the first one back off (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) the lens has a notch in it that lines up for the housing ring so that when you put the final clip in it holds the housing face on

Haven't had any time to post any updates since I'm pretty much been working on the car around the clock trying to get ready for Okteenerfest
Got the new dash face metal and vinyl (914Rubber) on the car

Tried and failed at installing the dash top vinyl. I didn't stretch it out as I was installing it and tried to do it by myself. Turned out very lumpy and I pulled it all out to start over (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)
I guess it's a good learning experience right?

Got all the wiring harness installed and hooked up all the way to the tunnel. Need to get the stainless steel fuel lines finalized before I can put everything else through it

Don't be surprised if you see the oil light come on when hot and at idle. The Threashold for voltage is much lower. It's not uncommon to see it flicker a little at idle on motors that are well used.

War-pig (Mike) worked up some stainless steel fuel lines but I needed to make some modifications to my fuel line grommet on the tank side
