Garm's 1969 project

Very nice and tastefull!! Everything...let me know when you get tired of those wheels...

That is one of my fav steering wheels....I was thinking the momo "indy" with wood and the wood "griffin logo shift knob" awhile ago...but someone bought that from me ???

[Garm]

Thank you. That shift knob was just too high up for me, so I passed it on to Woody, who wanted it badly.

@ bikermike: Yes it is, one reason I really wanted to get these wired up.

Good tip Garm:
their search feature there is not very good. They are listed under Vintage Fog light kit: http://www.thehotrodcompany.com/shopnow ... id=C364002" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I just paid a lot more money for a suspiciously similar set! If these are the same, I really like them. It's a very smooth shape, the chrome work is really good. The base sits very nicely on the fascia, not like some of the cheap stand-off's that I have seen. And it has the correct one-wire bullet connection to plug into the Roadster harness (though using a relay that is not as important.

[Garm]

These sound the same, but they just have a trailing wire, no bullet connection. I was too lazy to track down the link, thanks for posting it.

I have a set of amber ones that didn't look as good on my car -- if anyone wants them they are $60 shipped.

I had the Momo knob, sat too high, I ended up cutting the stick shorter, then it was nice.

Problem: Newly recovered seats feel very nice, but not quite enough thigh support.
Solution: Steel spacers (I dislike piles of washers) under the front seat studs only. I used 3/8".

Success! The seats feel a lot better.

[Garm]

Problem: Bare floorpan.
Problem: Not enough money for carpet kit or custom mats. And can't get them in time for Solvang anyway.

Solution: Gym flooring! Perfect for Spike. Sweat resistant!

The whole roll:



Test piece (cut in place) to drive around with:



Cleaner cut, final versions to come after I make a better template.

Cool idea. Nice for a trunk mat. Bring Gatorade and wear shoes with a thick sole. Might be a WARM floor.

Do not try "Downward Facing Dog "in that space.

LOL! I think I was in "Child Pose" when I was cutting it.

Crane Position?

+1 on the lights, and no, it's not me. I make Alvin look fat

I too like the fog lights. Nice work. Can't wait to see the car in person next weekend.
