At 6:45 this morning, I took these photos of Mulholland. The fog is here, at least it has been for the past few nights and early mornings.
The Identicals are clearly not visible
(looking west, above the houses) in the fog.
In this view looking east towards Marlon Brando's old house (left, barely visible) and the Racecourse (right side of photo) the fog obscures nearly all landmarks.
Tonight we are having a Mulholland meeting at Truckstop.
Jeff Dyer of the SCCRA with be there to talk about his group being in the filming of King of the Mountain in 1980.
This will be a rare opportunity to talk to someone who was there almost every night of filming and who was a big part of the old Mulholland Racing scene.
We will be showing parts of King of the Mountain while on Mulholland for a real fun time.
Don't you just love it when Dennis Hopper slides his Vette around Deadmans and scares the crapp out of those two young chicks walking on Mul.
(They must have been from out of town)
Today we start to prep the motor for re-installation, I will post more as it gets done.
Overcooling problem:
The air blow tubes on the 911 motor that normally feed the heater boxes air to heat the car were blocked off before cadmium plating the sheet metal.
This allows all cooling power of the generator/fan assembly to be directed to the cylinders and oil cooler.
The 17 feet of stainless oil lines in the car are sufficient enough to cool the oil without an external oil cooler. I had one and had to remove it because the car never reached operating temp with the aux cooler.
