Light Yellow ST in Progress

[letsrollbabe]

I like the effect on the Amplilux !

Cool shot !

The Marchal Amplilux combined with the Cibie Oscars can really light up the night! Especially with the brights on in the Amplilux. All have separate relays to keep them bright and protect the ignition switch.

I was asked about the center holes in the 8+9x15 Fuchs....they are the type for 3 prong caps with a thicker circle as used on Fuchs up through 73. Beginning in 74 the centers were made with a thinner looking circle to accept the ring-type caps (and still accept the 3 prong caps also). Actually, these wheels were built from the original 72 6x15 Fuchs that were on the car when I bought it. Harvey Weidman used the original wheel centers to build 8+9x15s, so they would have the correct look for a 72 ST with the 3 prong centers. So now they even have the correct date codes for the car...

Harvey is the Best.

Jens, you are being generous.
I just do what Gib says.
Anyone that wants to cut up 4 perfectly good dated 6s and 4 perfectly good 8s to make something cool has my vote.

Oh yeah, check out the "dip" line in the cap hole....
No caps for this racer....

Just about every part on this project has been worked over or 'cut up'.... Picking the right guys to do the cuttin' and stitchin' is the key...

Many of the parts installed in the car came from various guys in this and the Pelican community...too many to recall who I got them from (I am gettin' old too). Also, there were many emails and phone calls from friends who answered my many 'stupid' questions and gave advice.

And not to be forgotten....this wonderful Early 911S Forum for allowing a 3 year thread like this to show how a 911 ST project comes together, and all the guys who commented, made suggestions, or just looked at the details shown...THANKS.

The finished product looks just great Gib! Maybe a ST only gathering should happen in the future. It would be cool to see a group of ST's all together.
