side shot, getting the ducktail on with the new hinges has been fun by myself.
this will be the single control for the fresh air system. a toggle switch will turn the blower on at two levels.
these vents were sourced from street rodder magazine. I don't recall the name of the company, could have been 'southern air' or something like that. You can find similar at a hot rod show.
What I did was to carefully measure and cut the dash (and the factory dash behind it) to allow the vents to be installed. Then I had to make a couple cuts behind the dash to the front hood area to allow the new larger individual ducting to route to the vent. This was key for getting the air flow the way I wanted it - functional.
there will be 6 toggles when done. these will replace the light switch, internal map light switch, footwell blowers, fresh air blower, hazzards and a hidden kill (sequence). I also will have it so that I can run front lights and no tail lights if I wish...
while not the best pic, this shows the two function trans temp & amp meter clock replacement made for me by North Hollywood Speedo. Ask for Dirk and tell him I sent you if you call, great guy, great work.
Noah, these were the gauges I had in the car, some were early car, some were 84-89 vintage.
one of the bigger challenges was switching the later model turn signal and wiper switch back to early car style. Scruffy has a lot of different parts on her. It took me many hours (because I am a novice) to get the wiring worked out. In fact, Keith and me are still working on the last details.
This project can be done and to tell you guys the truth, I didn't know what I was going to do until I 'got in there'. I knew I wanted something more 'vintage' than the later model dash I had to start with but it wasn't until I went searching for options that I came up with this. Maybe it is the hot rodding roots I have from my Dad, but I knew that while the wax and wash crowd probably wouldn't approve, it would be damn cool to have something that no other 911 owner had. Heck, that is why I got this car in the first place!
she has come a long way!
