Let me guess, you didn't use a roller on that.

Ready for take off.

Ooooooh! Blaaaaaack!! Smooooooth!

Like the white stitching on the dash and steering wheel. What are the toggles next to the console gauges? Is that a jet jockey thing?

The Paint looks great.

What kind of shift knob do you have (it almost looks like some of the old Datsun ones I have seen)

Posted by: Headrage Mar 30 2006, 11:08 AM

Nice Elliot.

Looks really good...

Posted by: 7T Porsha Mar 30 2006, 11:15 AM

Yes, black, of course! It's really not A color; it's ALL colors.
Looks boss!

Posted by: Huff Mar 30 2006, 11:18 AM

Those are some nice wheels and rims. Where did you get the rims from and they look like 4 bolt with a corvette crest on the center cap? Also what size tires are you running?

Looks great!

Posted by: Dr. Roger Mar 30 2006, 11:24 AM

is that a 914-6 rear brake setup?

looks like you handled everything nicely. gauge faces, carpet, sail panels and trim, dash.

kinda reminds me of what a car might look like if a pilot owned a 914.

great job.

Posted by: Thomas J Bliznik Mar 30 2006, 11:36 AM

Elliott

I love Black 914's. Your car is beautiful.

Has everyone noticed the recent high level of restoration lately?? We are the next 356 crowd.

Paint was done by South County Auto Body (949)859-7990. Ask for Max Gilmore. I got the dash pad from "Lagunero" Albert. I bought $20 worth of carpet at Home Depot and a can of 3M spray-on contact cement. Speedo, tach and instruments were done at North Hollywood Speedometer (818)761-5136. The wheels are Revolution Wheels and a search should turn up some info.
Stock rear brakes and BMW fronts. Thanks for all the kind words about the car. I hope I answered everyones questions.
Cheers, Elliot

I think I picked up the shift knob at one of the swap meats. It might have been Ventura but I honestly don't remember. Sorry.

The engine is a Fat Performance 2.2 4banger. The red line on the tach was a joke between me and the folks at No Hollywood Speedo. They asked where did I want the red line? I said I had no idea so put it at 8,000. The tach only goes to 8000 so they put it at 7800. I don't know if it will rev that high. Maybe I'll see if it will when I install the ceramic lifters.
Cheers, Elliot
