Looks real purty Scott!

Thanks Kate. She still needs work, but coming along real nicely.

BTW I really like your wheels.

Me too. AFAIK, they are original Minilites from the late 60's early '70's. Probably worth ~$2000. Picked'em up at a swap meet for $300 and restored them.

Damn! Hope you have em locked on!

I thought they looked pretty fresh, new even. nice restoration job!

Hi Scott, I like your car. What color is that? I'm not too crazy about the braded lines, though, just my opinion. Also you should toss that clear glass filter. They look purdy but in a mild accident they could break and you wouldn't be too happy with the results of that. Pick up a standard metal filter from your LPS. You can get one with 3/8" inlet and outlet if that's what your using.

Check out my website, the story is pretty much all there. The color is from the Audi chip book, "Nogaro Blue". The braided lines were kind of an afterthought. I had to run braided fuel line to race here at Bandimere. The rest was just for the hell of it since the kit was cheap. I've had a few problems with leaking now since the braid doesn't allow for any expansion hardly at all in the line. The coolant has to go somewhere, so it squeezes out the end. Which could then disqualify me for safety reasons at the track. I thought I'd give it a shot. The glass filter was the only replaceable filter I could find at the time I was buying, and the chrome ones are just plain ugly. I think I'll buy the threaded adapter for the Edelbrock fuel line drop. I can then run a Russell or whatever directly into the carb. No splicing.

Sweet.

lmfao what a s***ty paint job i gues the orange peel is in?
