I like the direction. For the money should have real Fuchs and steel flares

The gas cap arrangement could have been done more cleanly

What is the tank in the trunk? If it has a 914-6 tank then what is the plastic tank? I don't pretend to know much about conversions so I'm curious what role that serves

Why isn't the oil cooler connected? Kind of strange to go that far and not connect the cooler

tank in trunk is the catch can from the oil tank.

nice car, but there are a lot of little things that make it not a GREAT car. Bill, you're right on those points: wheels, oil cooler, steel flares...

Hey Scott
Yours? I didn't mean anything negative, its a really nice car...just a couple things would make it a really GREAT car! I assume you don't have it anymore? (being sold out of GA and you in CO)

The tank in the trunk is a oil vapor catch tank, thus the large diameter hose.

It looks like quite a bit of money was spent here, yet it's not a track car.

I must say it looks amazing. Did the present owner change anything?

It looks like quite a bit of money went into building this, yet it's not a track car. Amazing job though.

I like it, I have always loved the Martini livery, and would love a car like this.

Given the shortage of teeners here in Australia I don't think ill be getting one though.
And there is no way I would ever cut up Violet.

If only I had money, could buy it and ship it here..... It's sad being poor.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

having said that, my wife has told me the next toy needs to seat at least 3
