as you can see the gages out side are mounted up high so the bonnet can clear them when closing.
Image
side pipe is only a temp till i install a twin.system but mind you ,she sounds mean lick this.

this is wy i did away with the spare wheel tub. ,s/steel dummy tank. Image

I thought i would show you some photos of my engine, first painted it chev red .chainged my mind ,desided to paint it in the same color as the car .2 thormo,s instead of one .ran vacum pipe through fire wall .wireing all hidden.washer pump hidden up under guard.you will also notice the brackline /vacume pipes +cross support in bonnet,are all plated in 18ct gold.as is the new seat surrounds i made ,still to pick up .when i get more time i will fill you,s in on the other mods i have done up to date.
