Those of you who’ve been following this thread know some of the history behind this next little mod. When I built the Raby kit motor the programmable EFI had the option to add a Check Engine light. McMark came up with the idea to take the Fasten Seat Belt lens and mod it to say Check Engine. It was a cool little detail.
But now, with the ‘89 Carrera motor attached to its DME injection, there isn’t a CEL option. What to do? I saw three options. First, leave it alone. Second, remove it and re-do the dash basket weave. Third, change what the light says... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) Here’s the first modification if you guys don’t recall, and remember, it’s totally functional. Attached thumbnail(s)

Those of you who know me personally know that I’m not a really serious guy unless the situation is life or death, and since I’m retired, I’m not dealing with that much anymore.
I want to thank McMark again for the original idea, and Garold Shaffer for supplying the new lens. I still need to put another coat of paint on this after the first coat completely drys and contracts, and plastic polish the red to make it shine again. I will somehow make the light functional to freak out the innocent! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif) Attached image(s)

While your driving a bass shaker might as well drive the sound track of an ejection seat deployment. It is only a short burst, though I would not add the smoke generator as that might hinder your view of their face. Though your sense of smell you might tell that they (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) their pants.
Enjoy your new found fun. |

Andy, I gently sanded the 75 - 76 FASTEN SEAT BELT lens from the dash until the lettering disappears. Then, I took the blank lens to a trophy shop and had them engrave the EJECTION SEAT lettering. Finally, I painted the face of the lens. When it dries, I gently sand on Emory cloth again. One more coat of paint, one more sanding. Finally plastic polish. |
