This is my, almost completed auto-x/street car. It's a '75 California car, retrostyled and switched to Webers. Plastic bushings, stiff springs, Bilsteins, sway bars, stiffened, KH header, lightened. It should come in right around 2k pounds. Dave

Excellent, looks even better in the big picures.

I have one of those passenger foot boards I'm getting installed...first time I've seen one in a car!

Nathan- I couldn't find anyone selling the passenger side floorboard, so I made this one, to look like the driver's side. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif)

I ended up making these doorpanels, too, from locally available materials. They look kind of "GT-esque" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

What's the advantage of the taller stacks on the carbs? Very nice car.

More low end torque at the expense of high rpm HP.

Generally, low end torque is much more useful for a dedicated AX car.
