Michael R....the guy doing the restoration made the seats as an exact copy of the real GT seats. His upholstery shop had a set from a real GT (Glenn Stazak) in for work...as long as he had them apart he took a mold of them and recreated them. To this day no one actually has definitively said whether they were made by Scheel or Recaro or neither. The Scheel seats that are seen around with the headrest look similar, but, when put side by side with a set of real GT seats...are different.

As for the engine shroud.....I do not know where he sourced this particular one but, there is a guy on Pelican under the name of "series900" who makes them which many people are happy with.

Brant, Looks good, no front oil cooler? Last time we talked you were looking for early 911 s heads to twin plug to make a hot 2.0? Are you still building that motor? It's funny, I never intended this project to become this involved. Just turned out that once you get started the ideas start to flow and then the money flows out of your pocket. Never had an intention to do the interior to that level, never had an intention to do the rally lights...then you think it just looks cool without realizing how expensive a set of hood mounted Cibies are and what is then cost to wire and mount them...and if you do those then you also need to do the other Cibies which are a lot cheaper to buy but, even more labor intensive to fab brackets and mount and wire....

Yep...
2 oil coolers but not so original.

and I still need a set of 69S heads...
the car is running with a 2.0 and 67S heads, but I want to upgrade and do a bunch of head work/cams/valves and still need a set of 69S heads as cores so that I can keep the car running while I do it.

Your car is beautiful!

Aaron, Nice to see you on here!

Anyone who does not know who Aaron is...aka BurnBros...he is the one who made the motor for this car a reality with his rotor for the Jag 12 plug Marelli cap.

I have not yet seen the new distributor, I know he has it, and I asked him to shoot a pic and send it along. But, you saw the motor? Henry built the longblock. Looks great and it should go like stink!

I can't wait to have the motor running...

Here is a picture of the first distributor from Aaron and Henry Schmidt out at Supertec.

Brant, I love the set-up, that's really trick...did you come up with that? What are the benefits?...besides not cutting a hole in the floor pan? Price-wise how does it compare to say running a comp Mazda cooler?

I did it because the fuel cell was taking all of the room for a smooth cooler exit.
(I strongly believe that cooler exit is the key to cooler efficiency)
and the vintage class wouldn't let me go up through the hood....

but I can't take total credit.
The first time I ever saw it a friend of mine in Kansas tried it with no ducting. It didn't work well for him, but we decided it was the lack of ducting that was the problem. Thats where I really got the idea from.

then later we saw a picture that the gunnar racing 914's were using this location too.

We did fabrictate all the duct work ourselves though.
the cost is high.... 2 fluidynes, more fittings, more line... 19quarts of mobil 1, not cheap.

but it allowed us to run a 15 gallon fuel cell with no compromise to the oil cooler efficiency.

Pete, I think you got the proto which is a cnc "proof" of the upper housing of the replica Dizzy that is at the foundry as we speak. It also has the bearing support and retainer like the original R . The bottom is a conventional Bosch dizzy. It is a tight fit for the 2 liter but looks bitchin...I think you will be satisfied with the result.

I had no idea you went all out on your car, I'm very impressed.
