That looks fabulous! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif) Wait... uh, oh... is that tin missing a "621" stamp? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)

@bbrock The 621 is only visible under ultraviolet light along with the Kamax markings on some of the bolts. However, you'll need to come out to Cali sometime to verify firsthand if the "35" marking is present on the underside of the engine bar. In fact, please consider joining us at the WCR, we'd love to have you!

Today's project was refurbing the tail lights. Spent the afternoon cleaning and wet sanding the housings by hand with 1,000 grit progressively up to 7,000 grit. After a coat of wax, installed new German "Jahne" bulbs for the 21W double and single filaments.

Installed the set of Hellas lenses that I bought from @Mike Fitton some time ago and was surprised by how nice they turned out.

Before & After!

After meeting Jeffrey yesterday (he kindly passed on a washer fluid tank that my 74 is missing..) I was compelled to read all 17 pages. What a journey of dedication and commitment. Wow. I'm lucky enough to live close by and look forward to seeing this on the road very soon. Did i say wow already? (and Jeffrey - if you ever need a hand on anything, just yell...)

All you guys with perfectly restored cars are going to have to find a driver so you can go out and have fun.

And I’m not knocking what you are doing in the least. It’s a beautiful car.

This is really going to be one of the prettiest, most desirable -4s out there. Wow. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)

And there are a lot of great 4s out there. Marathon with those wheels really pops.

Some of the restoration/resurrection projects of late are just very cool to see.

Original Style Speed Nuts, I must be Nuts!

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif)

Can't deal with the gooey half metal hex style speed nuts so picked up these for my rear badges & grill lettering. This project is officially on hold until after the WCR.

For some reason I don't recognize these parts. You mention use on badges and grill lettering. I that the only place?

Dang - now I'm going to have to go look at my old engine grill off the original 73 I had (one of the surviving souvenirs from that car) that hangs on my rafters as decoration.

Just as a reminder - you don't need an interior to drive that puppy to WCR assuming you have the important mechanical bits sorted. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Looks like AASE sales according to the bag. AASE always seems to be a decent source for obscure bits and correct NOS stuff like this.

I did check my original engine grille. Sure enough these are the proper NOS style fasteners. Would have expected nothing less!

Funny to me the stuff that I've forgotten since I did my last 914. When I was done with that vehicle I pretty much had touched every nut, bolt and fastener. I find I'm now having to relearn stuff I once knew. I guess I'm getting old!
