Sieg - you aren't the first to notice the wheel. I broke the top half the last track day I was out right above the three spokes, and since I will go to a nicer wood wheel design in the Nova, I just flipped it over to the rigid half
Gotta make due for a couple more track days this year.
Payton - thanks for the compliments on the car! A full frame 68 would be pretty cool as well. I plan to grab the car the weekend after SEMA and trailer it back here to CO. I will plan to get started on it over the winter - they are predicting a light winter and if so I will track the 914 for as long as the weather holds out. Once I am done with the track days, the engine and trans will come out of the 914 and mock up can begin. I will mostly be plotting and planning at first as every day I come up with a better idea than I had the day before, so I want to try to capture all of that brainstorming first, then cut metal.
