          Its based on an earlier SDS (Simple Digital Systems) set up. The throttle bodies were cast/machined himself (we are pretty handy with fabrication, him more so than myself). Actually this car has a lot of one-off/early modifications. This was his first car and the influence of the Cal-Look movement was far from New England when he was growing up so people thought he was crazy (5-speed/fuel injection didn't come until much much later). The pictures I have are actually really old. The car hasn't changed any but it definitely deserves some better shots.

          One-off throttle bodies:


          The clock/gas gauge are Saab units modified to match the speedometer. At the time people were asking waaay too much for NOS/OEM Volkswagen analog clocks. The gas gauge came later. Also notice the tilt-column from an earlier (I believe) Oldsmobile:



          The mount for the Autometer gauges is an item cast/finished himself. The car has long drowned out any audio so he replaced the radio with idiot lights:



          Berg header to Borla muffler, one-off traction bar:



          Car lives in the shop/basement:



          Sorry for the thread jack!
