great craftwork!
I'm curious about the sw spoke position blocking view of the tach...
(I'd rotate 180 degrees, but... it isn't my project!)
best of luck as you near completion.
You are right about it's position obstructing the tach, but it is also more comfortable when driving with your hands at 2:00 and 10:00. I used this illustration by Jay Koka, which I have, as inspiration. An easy change if the engine builder insists.
Friend of mine here in canada has a convertible D rear skin with clean title, matching engine, doors and transmission. (rest of body rusted away years ago)
He also has a coupe donor body.
He is selling his restored 1965 356 C coupe to do the project.
Anybody looking for a good driver 356 or possible club racer for a good deal??
I helped build the 356C and would like to see it go to a new home so i can help with the D project.
I especially appreciated the before & after pics of the rear cowl. I have never had such a good look at the differences. Then I thought, "Why not use a C rear lid?" (I'm finishing resto on a Roadster, and beginning to worry about cooling of an SC-big bore engine.) Now the only problem I see is that it is so perfect that it will look like a real one.
