Larry, I would like to be in Tucson right now! Thanks for the info that you emailed me.

My car is painted a Vette Z06 color. It is Atomic Orange Effect. While it looks good in the pictures it is spectacular in the sun.

My frame comes to a Vee at the front. It is skinned with aluminum before the body slides on. The air from the radiator is routed out the side of the car. Hence the double cut outs. This keeps the car from lifting at speed as the air isn't trapped under the hood. I have vents to go in the openings but I kinda of like seeing the headers!

Since the pics were taken I have installed a longer throttle cable which allows it to be hidden. And, the air filter has been remotely mounted above the radiator. Now there is just a polished tube showing in the engine compartment.

And, Yes, I sell my banks at the Big E. I have had a booth there for 15 years. Various members of my family have worked it for extra money, and my kids have worked it to make money for school. My booth will be open again this Sept!!
