The stainless steel and engine lid shocks came from Hall Pantera who did most of the work on this car for Lou Agro.

Thanks,, I'll give them a call,,, It looks very nice,, I'd like to do the same thing.

Heres another!

The engine on my '74. I fabricated an aluminum panel for the passenger side and put all the electronics and the overflow tank behind it. I ran all the wires and hoses under and to the front of the engine so they wouldn't be seen. It looked great when it was first done. This car is a driver, so it got a bit dirty.

This was Saturday:

That's why you don't see any pictures of MY engine or tranny!

I know what you mean Charlie. My car is a driver too.

Here's how it goes. First you spend the day detailing it. Then you take it for a ride and it gets a little dusty. You dust mop the car and admire it. Then the next day you drive it again, a little harder and the rear gets a little dark from the exhausts and dust collects near th eopen of the rear deck. Then you drive it more. Now the engine bay gets a light oil spray. Now I really drive it! Then some grease splatters from the half shafts. Then I drive the shit out of it. Then a hairline of oil starts seeping out from the manifold and trickles down the block. Now I take it everywhere. After a few days it's really dirty, so I dry wash the car and detail the engine bay. Then I stare at it for a few days. Then it starts all over again.

Ahh... but you California kids have sunshine every day and don't have to put up with weeks of pouring rain and months of snow and salt - which is why we do all that detailing in the first place.

That's really funny David. I don't think anyone could have explained it better. I'm still laughing.

What pretty pictures. Sure are nice.
I will shoot & post pics soon of new motor in at present with all sorts of new goodies: AQUASUMP Oil Presurized kit. Full fire supression system, carbon bodypanels, GORAN's pop-up Headlite conversion, Glass out, door panels out, center instrument consol out, etc. ( See GORAN's excelent "Weight Loss" article in this latest P.I.'s fabulous Newsletter.)
To see good pics of new motor / trans with Webers, 180 degree exh., on stand,: SEE under Technical Enquiries Forum, Page 14 under 180 DEGREE EXHUST by ALAN B, on page 4. With shots of rear of car showing exh. exit points and 'Bunny Eared' scoops on page 3.
Lets hear more from DAVID! His post re. 'how it is, detailing, cleaning, driving' etc. was absolutely hesterically funny & spot on. Well done ALL., tai
