Dan, I can tell you for sure RQB 1984 was built with square headlight enclosures. I installed the round as that was the look I wanted. I can not tell you if it was an option. I seriously doubt it as there are very few Avanti II with round trim that I have ever seen.

Is there a way to find my membership number? I can not locate my card. Thanks Dave
-
You can have if you pay the shipping from Des Moines, Iowa Dave 515-975-8970 call or text is fine
-
Sorry for the late reply. These are cardboard back with foam. I think the pockets could be cut in. Let me know what you think Dave
-
Gunslinger is correct. The armrest I have do not have the pocket like pictured above. They are smooth, I do not have the covers just the backer and the foam pads. If you can not find others I am sure these could be modified to work. Dave

I have a pair from my 73 I did not use. Not sure if they will work for you. You can have them if you want to pay shipping. I am located in Des Moines.515-975-8970 Dave

I will answer two questions in this reply. The steering wheel was turned 180 degrees from orig position. I cut out a spoke and then took the Nardi signature off of upside down spoke. Sent to Kraft Customs in Texas to have wrapped. Made horn button from blank center. A lot of time and effort! Yes the seats are the orig 73 high back seats. I cut the backs down to orig height. I also made hard backs for them for a slightly more modern and clean by look. Put new adjusters on them with a little more adjustment as well as mounting them back a few inches further than stock.
-
That is the orig. Nardi wheel that was in the car. I have modified it to resemble an original Avanti wheel.

My choice for all builds in my shop is a heat and sound deadener material installed first. I use Hushmatt or any similar material. I then use jewt from an automotive interior supply co. The jewt is available in different thickness so it is helpful in getting a level and smooth surface for the carpet.
-
The carpet has a fairly stiff backing that helps. I also spent a lot of time and effort with sound deadener and different thicknesses of jewt padding to get rid of ribs and bumps before final fit and installation. Carpet is glued but sparse in center, mainly edges. Dave

My modified 73 is just about complete. I need to complete console /armrest top and complete and install door panels to call it done.

I received the 1 1/4 inch ID hose today from McMaster-Carr. The hose fits very well. The hose is flexible but a little heavier than the original. This is a rubber hose with spiral core. Part number 53145K19 and is sold by the foot. I think it will do the job just fine as I have no concerns of turbulence in this hose. Dave

I just ordered some today. I will receive it tomorrow and report if it is correct and going to work. Dave

I tell my customers it is easy to shove the first domino over but it is hell getting them stopped.

Looking for dash inlay that gauges mount through. Am only concerned of condition of outer edge. Inlay color or condition does not matter. Dave 515-975-8970 or d.carnock@carnockcreations.com
-
someone ask about bumpers. Here is the rear I modified for this car. This is my ideas as to the way it should have been built.
-
Yes to new hog troughs. Installed with epoxy and avex rivets for more strength. Chassis is custom fabricated using Art Morrison components. This is a 73 that I have modified to look like a 63 as I prefer both the original rake and round headlights.
-
Yes chrome with slight modifications
-
Modified Avanti’s are not everyones cup of tea but this is my 73 coming together
-
I have removed all of the square headlight parts and installed round on my project. If you are interested I will make you a deal on all removed parts. I will send pictures of all parts if interested. Dave
-
They all list but never have any stock
-
