So the next project is drilled door handles. I’m sure the race teams back in the 1970’s did this just to do the 10/10ths thing. I actually did a before and after weight and each side loses .385# so just a little more than 3/4# total! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) So obviously, I’m doing it for authenticity to the GT.
This one was for practice. It has a broken tab and I will not be using it. The actual pair that I’m using will be drilled then disassembled And sent to Ogden Chrome for show chrome. Should be pretty cool! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif) Attached image(s) ![]() |

So a bit of a slip up. A year or two back, I procured a Carrera speedo to use with the 915 McMark prepared for the car. For the sake of realism, I had North Hollywood Speedometer put the silver button on it and adjust the miles so the one seemlessly replaced the other. Why is this important? Well my car has relatively low miles and in Nevada if you have classic plates you must fill out a mileage declaration every year. You are limited to 5000 miles. So I dutifully fill out my form and go to DMV Wednesday and wait 5 1/2 hours. When it’s my turn, the DMV gal tells me “ you’ve got less miles.” Her expression didn’t change the entire time I was there. Literally frozen in an irritated scowl. I look at my form and it says 79131. I look at the picture on my phone of the old speedo from the 4 cylinder from last year and sure as shit, 79161. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)
I explain, she doesn’t care. Obviously she’s discovered a crime. I ask for a supervisor and he comes over and sends her on a break. Issues tabs, says he can see what happened from the pictures. Next day, I get a call. You have to bring the car in to the emissions lab for an inspection. Nope. Don’t mess with a guy who has a house in Sacramento and a house in Nevada! Off to Truckee today for new Black and Yellow California plates. I wanted blue and yellow but apparently not enough people got on board so they didn’t do them. I still have to go back for a VIN inspection but they couldn’t have been nicer in Truckee! |

I have never been happy with my assembly of my "Hockey Puck" horn button that I got from 914Rubber.com. (your assembly may be perfect) The leather center piece keeps falling off and dropping to the floor, luckily not blowing away because I seldom do top-on driving with my car.
I took it back apart and got rid of the foam Mark supplies and got some very thin fiberboard from my upholstery shop friend Bill. We cut it to the proper disc size and then using some headliner padding he had laying around we glued the headliner padding to the fiberboard and the leather to the padding. The result is perfect. It looks like it will never come out again. We will see! Anyway, enjoy! Attached image(s) ![]() |

I want mine to say, "EJECTION SEAT ARMED". Start the car. Hit a button that turns on the armed light. Look at my passenger with a wry smile and ask, "ready to go"? Not many people like riding in my 914 and maybe this will deter them even more. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) |

Rick doesn't always spell well, but I've learned to listen to what he has to say. I confess though, I don't know what moniosis is, beyond some fun anagrams.
We could speculate... moan in your oasis? |
