I was going to use a grill on the outside but it was pointed out that
the airflow would be cut down. He is right. But I spent so much time shaping
I had to share. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Put in new rear deck shocks (see separate thread) on the '73. The original ones had failed after many years...

This was a little spooky, but both ended up in the same place. With some luck they should blow at the cooling fan intake first, then share with the intake. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Went to Cars and Coffee at a place called the Point close to my home. It was a beautiful day got down there by 7.15 Alan @914 drove with me and we where a group of buds that live within a block from my home. Note the Cobra and the BK El Camino with a 700-horsepower engine and finished in a level equal to my 6.

The bees where out and they love the Canary Yellow color of my 6

There where some very cool cars. This one Huge Bug is pictured with Alan next to it and he must be 6.3
Another one was a converted Electric Fiat meant up to look like a oversized bumper car, it had a poll sticking up that looked the way that real bumper cars sparked at the top as they moved. Small LED lights worked great up there. I flashing back to the many times I went on the bumper cars at POP/ Pacific Ocean park in my youth

I agree!

Looks like a beetle got xeroxed at 125%

What is that?

New fuel lines today--thanks to Chris at Tangerine Racing. I struggled with the install until I noticed that a seat harness bolt was impeding progress. I will use only one line, but I installed two for future set up with carbs that require return to the tank. The stainless steel lines are quite rigid--an added bonus that they provide a great zip-tie support for my wandering clutch cable tube. It was loose near the front end.

Not today, but two days ago--first drive of the year, about 30+ miles with the duty dog. Everything is just about ready for spring. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

Sure beats being in MN! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Received a passenger side tail light assembly. Mine is in multiple pieces, this one just needed some love. Thanks @barefoot It also had the other end broken but JB weld is the best for plastic repair.

I believe it's the famed "Huge Bug" as seen here:

After putting it off, replacement on hand, I got the windshield with stone crack, removed. Greg at All Service Glass in Lima OH is an experienced professional. He is coming back to my shop next week to install the new glass. In the meantime I’ll clean up where it goes. No rust! Amazing. I’ll also repaint the black trim.

Drove it, rolled over 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 (246,810 miles), and promptly released a little smoke from behind the dash (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

That is the coolest thing I have seen in a long time. Anyone want to take on a 140% 914??
I am curious, why is 50% bigger illegal, but 40% isn't? Can't tell what state they are in.
