I keep a rag tucked next to the seat and drive with one hand

Usually the air moving through the car keeps the windows unfogged reasonably well once moving. Around the pit and grid, it can get pretty foggy.

I use the anti-fog stuff and really do keep a rag in the car with me. My heater/blower etc is long gone and I'm still trying to get the car to weight with an 89 chassis and my 250 LBs of lean muscle.

Ah,
The Hans Stuck method... I saw him doing that at sebring back in 95 in a Turbo 993. Fun stuff.

I have heard of rubbing soap on the window for that but thought it was an old wives tale. Kind of messy too.

I received a very good EM late this afternoon. Jason Schell, Head of the Marketing Dept. from GlowShift Gauges, will in part, be sponsoring our 944 build with their Elite Ten Series gauges! These gauges have a programmable min and max value with visual and audible alarms. www.glowshiftdirect.com/
I didn't forget you guys either. Jason and GlowShift Gauges have generously offered an additional 10% discount on any of their gauges. You can either EM him or use this discount code on line. Jason's EM is This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it and make sure you include the code when corresponding with him. The code is 944Build2010 and expires in June 2011. Please take advantage of this and pass it along to anybody who might be interested.

Back to the dash.... I thought I'd keep playing with this and see where it goes, after, all it's just my time so far.
This weights 7 lbs 4 oz.



I cut all the brackets out to lighten it up, made a template for the gauge opening and cut one out of sheet stock.



Here is the rough fit.





I still have a bit more to go and plan on some flange holes in the back side of the dash to lighten it up further. At this point it weights 5 lbs 11 oz.
That's 1 lb 9 oz lighter, so far.

Cool, and inventive way to make a nice, lightweight, and cost-effective dash!
