2.0L Race Engine Updated Photos
Hung that amber fiberglass sheet metal today. Its kinda ugly
in its own sorta "correct way" I think it will grow on me. Milt what do you think? Time to take a shower that fiberglass grinding and fitting makes me itch

Wear long sleeves and gloves - you don't want the fibers getting into your skin.
It looks nice (albeit in a vaguley sort of medical equipment way). I'm not sure how the translucent shroud will look with gunk on the inside, but even if it does not grow on you, remember: you are period correct and the others aren't. |

Thanks Randy, Im done w the fiberglass, but in the future I'll take your advise. The engine wont have a chance to get dirty on the inside, I'll either blow it up, or tear it done in 40-45 hours.

I saved over 5 pounds, and I have raced this car for over 5 years,
no major mishaps just been hit in the right rear quarter panal 3 times and numerous off track excursions. Driving the so cal freeways is much more dangerous

Shuie 2 reasons: I like the look and we run a 2 hour Enduro at willow springs. I also add 2 more lights for a total of 4. 2 lights in total darkness does not cut it

Ok, thanks. Yeah, I guess lights would help if you guys are running in the dark
. They do look great. The standard front lights are removed for airflow to oil coolers? |

No I dont remove the std lights i get plenty of flow from the front openings. car holds 20 quarts of oil. Never runs over 210 degrees
even when its over 100 ambient
