Cool , wish I had done the Gurney bubble!

Hank, I like what I can see of the side vents. Do you have any better pics of this and of the top of the hood? And can you tell us more about the cowl scoops that were used under the hood?

[John Dol]

Nice look, no stripes?
Wonder how much the stretch is going to influence the handeling.

Tim,

Here's are some shots of the nose before the painting, basically Carl used 65 Mustang Brake Air Ducts, turned back wards, using the negative pressure principle in working to evac the engine compartment air. We'll have to see how well it works.

On the cowl scoops, those are basically the scoops that come with the kit that are used on the cowl to bring in cabin fresh air, Carl just used them, with a round hole in the top of the nose for air to enter.

John,

No stripes, Carl was going for the more subdued look, as to the longer wheel base, it should be a bit more stable, and Carl needs that, the engine puts out 550 HP!

Looks good in silver. I'm looking to see a side shot not that it;s all in one color, cant wait to see how the extra length looks.
Seeing the finished inside of the front clip brought back a few nightmares! :-)
