2002 Beauty Shots

Ian is a great guy.  He's always tinkering.  What worked stayed; what didn't was taken off.  He was one of my favorite people to work with.

The car is obviously sorted, so it must work well for him.  I do know of some multi-carb guys that have struggled with turbulent air off the cooling fan causing odd mixtures in the front barrels; especially with filter screens such as on that car....not so much when using bigger sock filters, but sometimes.   I know SteveinNOLA suffered from that at one point with his Coupe.

More race car pix...

You can never have enough pictures of cool cars.

Pulled fenders?  Wide angle of the 1st shots I figured it was a pig cheek at least in the back.  Love all of it

[zinz]

Opinions please... Turbines or Cosmics?

 

Polished 13x6" Cosmics, ET12

...I don't need comments on the chrome fender lips... those were installed by the PO and I already get enough static about them

Cosmics!  Way less common.

No doubt what so ever - it has to be the Cosmics!

Why you may ask?  Well...

1) the Cosmics are actually period correct, which the Turbines are not.
2) the Cosmics are also soooo much more rare, and thus a more individual and stand-out choice.

Ed...I really like the Cosmics best...we all have the turbines.

...........................I can't see beyond the fender lips at the moment; DAMN!

Another view... of the blinding chrome fender trim  

 

 

Thanks again...

Ed, Cosmics are a classic, never-lose option.

 

But... with that color paint, the tinted windows, the big bumpers, un-shaved reflectors, the fogs and, yes, the chrome fender trim, you've really got a late-70s/early-80s, trying-to-look-like-those-new-320s vibe going, and to my eye the turbines actually fit that "theme" better.

 

Simple solution: Send the Cosmics to me for disposal.

 

Or put them on your Manila car when you feel like swapping out the Panasports. You could call the Cosmics your "winter" set just to freak people out.

 

But sending them to me would be the best option.

Cosmics

We all have turbines just because they roll better than cinder blocks

A couple of glamour shots of the latest race car build (many thanks to Mike (http://www.mikevillavisuals.com), who came over with little notice to shoot as we waited for the transport truck to arrive). With Mike's eye, even the 'guts' photos look artsy.

 

We'll sure want a shoot like this of the Bristol street* car as it comes together. -KB

 

[zinz]

wow... that is NICE, Ken.

 

BTW... thanks all who chimed in on the Turbines v. Cosmics pics.  With the Cosmics and new tires on the car, I'll repaint the Turbines and make a decision.  I got lots of comments that agree with Dave's exact comments "  with that color paint, the tinted windows, the big bumpers, un-shaved reflectors, the fogs and, yes, the chrome fender trim, you've really got a late-70s/early-80s, trying-to-look-like-those-new-320s vibe going, and to my eye the turbines actually fit that "theme" better. "

 

I will say that the Cosmics fit under the fenders better... but I'm leaning towards the Turbines for the "look"

 

We'll see...
