No Dimis, a nappie is what I take at around three each afternoon just prior to happy hour!
Arnaud, if our cars sat side by side, people would say, "wow, look at that beautiful work of art sitting next to that beat up prototype." Your car looks amazing!

The colors are very "English". I think the black knob would work better, also

Thanks guys. Yeah it is pretty "English" as it is owned by two Europeans I gotta say that one of the biggest downers in American cars are their interiors, even to this day, although it is sloooowly changing.
I might stain the knob a little darker. The contrast is a bit more than I wanted.
Got new pipes on order, to replace the sand filled ones, and I got the plug I needed last week... Getting close!

Great looking car. I also like the knob, maybe because of my wood-shop days in high school. LOL. Beautiful car. Keep up the pictures!

Dark stain might look nice on the knob!

A French guy and a german guy, who own a brit-american car.... Sounds like the beginning of a joke. |

Not planning on it, I don't really like the look of those. If I need more cooling power I'll make a shroud like another member on here did

It is a clean look, not sure how much additional cooling the fans add. They do pull some current.

You could always put a whisper fan on each side vent.

Most pusher fans block more air than they add. A puller with a good shroud is a much better solution.
