Here's a pic of the hand brake recess part after it was finished and installed.
I'm getting to drive the car more now that the roads are free of salt
Also free of traffic due to the virus.


@rgalla9146

Ok Rory, I’ll be glad to pay you to make me one of those! That’s a very cool detail.
Enjoy the drives.


Hey Dion
I just found the only pics I took of the fabrication.
I made a styrofoam wedge that fit into the recess.
Then I glued it into a 90 degree corner and covered it with clear packing
tape to keep the fiberglass resin from eating the styrofoam.
Then covered the pictured piece with saturated chopped glass.
Wait a few hours......sand and shape to fit. Paint.
The texture is a lucky result.

Thanks for sharing that technique Rory. It’s a small detail but practical. Looks factory.
Well done.

I never posted pics of the complete trunks and interior of my project.
Check my $3.00 fiberglass hood props. And filthy tool kit.
I now jump in the car and drive it whenever I'm in the mood but organized events and even local C&Cs are not happening.
I hope the Northeast Gathering in Stroudsburg happens, It's a nice distance from home and some great friends and great cars will be there
Next up will be the delayed Luftgekult on November 1st. Can't wait.

Everything done so far was on the rotisserie or on a chassis cart.
I finally can use the lift (long stored car out for a while) to do some needed tasks and take some bottom pics.
Soon to follow.

Great build! Pardon me if you already said, but where did you score the vintage Scheel seats? Let me guess, was that from Hershey years ago as well? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I really hope I can see this car in person at the Stroudsburg event in July. It's beautifully done, Rory.

I had the same comment a year ago. On the screen it’s all very nice but the car looks even better IRL. Maybe because the white body hides the curves in the pics but you see more 3D in person.

The seats ...hard to believe but they were either given to me or I paid a couple hundred
for them from a friend who owned the first hot rod 914 I worked on.
For years they were stored in my loft while I dreamed or the car to put them in.
I did have the inserts re-stretched and I made new Scheel/Mann buttons.

Glad the old girl got put back together. You did an excellent job Rory. I can't wait to see it in person some day.

There’s an app called Roads where you can find local drives that are fun. I’d take the car out on some private tours and enjoy it even more. People love to see cars like yours on the open road.
