Had to lower the lift to get new garage doors installed, a bit dusty.

Right, they should have used a flat 6.

While Bill Burke didn’t introduce his belly tank lakesters until after WW II, Bob Rufi and his good buddy Ralph Schenk both worked in the aircraft industry in Burbank well before the War, and used their skills to build these sophisticated, teardrop-shaped, aluminum-bodied, enclosed cockpit, open wheel “Streamliners.” Both ran similar 186 c.i. Chevrolet 4-cylinders with 3-port Olds OHV heads. But Rufi’s was incredibly fast, running 143 mph one-way, and setting the first-ever 140 mph long-standing speed record in 1940. Note the contrast of quality of cars in the upper photo.

That is Brian, he was a wicked cool collection of bikes, plus some really cool VW experience.
I'm sure a few here on the technical side of the movie business have worked with him.
In general, a very cool and good guy.
