| Dashboard Restoration | EI Dizzy |
This page features "Scooter" AKA "The Screaming Metal Death Trap". Scooter is a 1970 SPL311, SN 29938. I was lucky enough to find it right here in Fremont, CA just about 5 miles from my house. The car is pretty complete but as with any 39 year old, it needs a little work. I will try to post as much info on Scooter's progress as time allows.
The original dash had been covered with a dash-cap but this had begun to crack and buckle due to exposure to the elements. I pulled the steering column and then the whole dash.
Here is the dash without the old skin. Fitting the new skin. Make sure you have a lot of clamps before you start. Solution: Black conductor from Romex Wire. Stripped a small amount of insulation from each end, drilled small holes in grill and inserted the bare wire. The single biggest improvement I have done for this car has got to be the EI Dizzy I bought from Dave Brisco at East Coast Roadsters. This small investment made a huge improvement in performance. Original Suspension and Wheels I have no idea what a PO was thinking when they put pieces of 2 x 4 in. After
