Manifolds are on. I decided on a wrinkle finish on valve covers, not a factory look, but hey, I get to pick. Right?

I don't think so. I have almost everything I need. The main thing I need is time. I'm at work six days a week. Sunday is my only work on the 914 day :-(

Eddie,
I'm just up the road, if you need a hand I'd be more than willing to lend it.

That fan looks great. What color/finish is that? Beautiful build by the way, just a treat to watch this thread.

The paint I used on the fan is "OEM Paints"; zink phosphate gray. I bought this can at the Pomona swap meet. You can probobly buy it on their website too. It goes on very easy and is supposed to hold up to heat too.

Mahalo for the compliment MrKona.

Tried something a little different on the Weber banjo fittings. Not OE, but cool looking and I dont think I'll ever have to replace them.

NOS rear trunk lock from my parts stash. I matched the tumbler to the ignition and then cut three new OE key blanks.

I got the interior back from the upholstery shop. This is a complete jod including door panels, back pad, center seat, and dash. The grain is as close to OE as I could find. I also used German Houndstooth which was not original to this car, but hey, what else is new?

Got the dash back from the upholstery shop. They installed new 1/8" foam and vinyl.

Back side of dash had some hand writting underneath. I decided to leave it. Maybe it was Fritz's signature back in May '70 ??

NOS dash. I like the fact that the visor over the instuments is not saggy like my old one. This came from Kamp 914 about two years ago.

Since I'm a big dude (6'-4" 230 lb), I wanted the steering column to be tilted up for more room. The original steering wheel position was almost in my lap. This was a big hasstle when mounting the column and linkage to make sure everything worked correctly with the steering.

This pic shows the new angle, I put the seat and steering wheel in and it made a big difference. It was a lot of work, but worth it.

Again, not original, but...

I asked my body shop to reccomend a sound deadening material. They said the Honda (I know rice burner) product was the best. I cut paper patterns, cut the material, and installed. This product is adhesive on the back. After it was stuck in place, I used a heat-gun. This material is like flat heat-shrink, and I think it's on for good.

Solid, no rust origial floors. Original tar material was removed prior to paint.
