Replaced my 40 year old cowling to fender seals that were hard as a rock and had shrunk. Sorry about that George Costanza!

Good thing I pull them because there was a little surface rust that I treated and painted.

Got them from Auto Atlanta and the set only cost $4.00.

Easy upgrade and fix.

Drove it to my chiropractor appointment this AM. On the way there, some schmuck in a Mustang in the adjacent lane thought that they had some really hot (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) at one stop signal ... taught them otherwise at the next one (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Decided to re-stain the wood in my center console a little darker. With another sanding session and some clear coat, I'm gonna call this one done. I still need to make the vertical piece for the small gauges.

Also, installed a stretch of 8AWG wiring from the battery to the dash area and installed a new dual-band VHF/UHF Amateur (HAM) radio (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Yes, they are Cocomats! Color is taracota and black. . I also just put a set in my boxster(gold/black to match my speed yellow car)

The door panels I made by using the originals as a template, stained burled wood plywood a cherry.
They fit nice but I never figuredd out how to trim them out to look nice
.
Right now they are not in the car. I put in a new set of panels with fiberglass cores from morph.

Looks good! Normally I'm not a fan of colored rings on the gauges, but the way you did it is pretty tasteful. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)

Went to Pick and Pull in Stockton to see if there was anything on this red 1976 914 that I could use. Vin #4762902667 that came out of Napa in the late 80's. Old registration was still in the car.

I then went over to my mom's house and changed the tarp for the winter and took some photos of a Creamcicle roller I have stored.

I was fortunate to pick up a [T H O M A S] rebuilt side shift 901 from Garrett at the G&R today (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) ... Gonna go in Dianne's '71 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving-girl.gif)

Hey, the front valance looks good on that '76, Mike (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

I should get my butt out to some of the local yards down here ... maybe I can find a decent rear targa pad for a good price (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Valance was dented (creased) but definitely repairable. This was my first experience with a "premier" Pick and Pull. Prices seemed doubled.

Drove it..and drove it..and drove it. 700 mile trip, and just got home from it. Was a great time, and the car ran great the entire way. The 6 conversion has definetely made the car more driveable than the old 4 banger.. the car seems more subdued over the bumps, and just way smoother to drive. (Makes the girlfriend happy on the long drives)

Got tired of repairing the spot welds on my cheeeep-ass Chinese air filter housings, so I ordered these from CB Performance

Worked on my new engine that I purchased from a fellow here. Getting the motor ready to put in my car. MPS is good but can't find a serial # on the ECU to verify if it matches with other. Dizzy drive gear was pointing way off so now corrected. Passenger side engine tin has a cut out for A/C so I removed it to replace.

BTW, does anybody know the size of this long stud?? Found out one of the studs needs rethreading.

Thanks in advance,
