Why does the lower dash portion not have the vents? Is this a very early style lower dash or is it modified?

I would guess that the late style lower dash vents wouldn't work with the roll cage bar coming down right where the back of the vents would be.

Beautiful. Except.....
Change the seats, way too big and bulky.
916 bumpers ? no thanks.
Love to see the AC compressor install. Dash / evap. looks very good
No time wasted on muffler hangars.
Love the roof.

I agree. I think a 914 or 911 style seat would look better, especially with red trim or stitching. Would contrast nicely with the red dash and door panels.

Building a 916 clone without 916 bumpers would be kinda like building a 914-6 clone but keeping it a -4.

Check out there web site and look under projects. Nice pictures of the build. You will notice a hole in the firewall for the compressor. This will most likely reduce seat travel for tall drivers. And yes it would no longer be a 916 tribute if you change the bumpers.
