Nice looking calipers.

I think my emblems came out ok, not bad for an amature machinist.

It is absolutely georgous!! I wish i could operate metal machinery to this exten, it truly is an art. I am definitely trying to buy a 914 and 2.0 emblem. You should think about making some!! Big market out there

My retro analog + digital + Mil-Spec dash creation. It is loosely modeled after an Ferrari Dino pictured at the bottom...

Made this seat out of a stock seat base. Added the higher bolsters and did all of the upholstery. First time ever using a sewing machine.
Watched a couple of youtube videos and went to work.

I'll follow Mark's lead on the motorcycle stuff. Here's a carbon/kevlar tank I made for my custom SV 650.

That seat looks great. any added effort getting in and out of the car around those built up bolsters?

My homemade engine test stand to do carb tuning & cam break-in.
Much easier to fuss with linkage and idle tuning here. Fuel feed is 2 gal tank perched on high shelf

You guys have a lot of talent. I love the go for it attitude. We are the ones that give it a try when other people say, What how do you do that? It has been like that my whole life. I do not get it. It seams like a natural thing. It has always been my thinking that what is the worst it can be. It is not like the Wright brothers.

You will not die in most cases.

The driveway of course.. took me a year and a half on my knees to do it...

... which is a piece of art! My OCD is jumping up and down because you managed to lay the darker <-> lighter cobbles in a pattern instead of mixing them randomly!

And oh! The 914 looks good on the pavement!
