Coupe to Speedster Conversion
#33
Steering Wheel Position
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.

356
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.

Outlaw complete
Certainly was, and what a great thing it ended up being. Love the exhaust note.

Just an FYI: There is a severely rusty donor coupe being built into a Speedster here: http://www.abcgt.com/forum/14-356-Re...r-Project.html
