I can use help. Willing to feed you and keep the fridge in the garage stocked if you want to come by this weekend. Lots of things to do. Some take talent, some don't.

Today I stopped at Triad to pick up my headers and muffler. I dropped them off on the way home to be ceramic coated a gloss silver. When I got to the front door, I found my cams!

Today I pulled the stack out of the transmission to send off to Dr.E. Since he can't make it to Seattle next month, I'm sending it off to him for a transformation.

I spent the rest of the day digging in every box in the garage as well as the storage unit we have. I pulled out everything that was 914 and turned the spare
bedroom into a parts shop. Found the 2.0 muffler bracket I needed as well as a bunch of other stuff. Next week I need to drop off a batch to be powder coated.

Put the car back on jack stands, so I could pull the wheels off. They need to be cleaned and re-painted.

I need to get the tires pulled off, so the wheels can be cleaned up and painted. I'd like to find a center cap with an unpainted crest in metal for them

I got my distributor back from Jerry Woods. Its been modified for the carbs and has the wire for the MSD.
I also dropped off a pile of parts at the coater today. Half shafts will be red, bunch is misc will be black and the fan and its housing will be titanium. I need to get the rocker covers from the machine shop as they will be titanium too.

I got to see my headers, but they weren't ready to be picked up yet. Maybe tomorrow

Got the re-chromed fog light grills back and mounted. Used the specrachrome paint process on them and it works

Having a hell of a time with the locks for the targa top. After I got them installed, one of the c clips popped off. Everything still works, so I think I'm going to leave it for now. To access the clip I need to pull the pad off the top of the targa bar again and that's a pain. It will be a good job to do next winter when its too wet to drive the car.

I had the tires dismounted from the wheels and dropped them off to be powder coated.

Lots of stuff today! The diffusers that go between the cylinders and guide the flow of air came back from the powder coaters

I couldn't get much done this week. Work and St Patrick's came first. I did get the half shafts, the muffler hanger and the shift rod back from the powder coater.
