Why, yes you do see a Wiggins clamp... the only purple part in the entire car. Anyways, thanks for noticing.

As for the Big Baller part, that's just a natural by-product of becoming an "old fart!"

As for his taste in ricer carbon fiber wings, though, that's another matter

Can't pass this up Carlos......not only can you eat off the suker, you can roast and bake in the cabin ! ! ! ! LOL all in fun ma man ! ! ! ! did you ever get the drivers window fixed ? ? ? Jack

Ok on topic, Here's Tom's car (not current)

I don't think anyone knows the amount of work you have done there. I just want to cry thinking about the struggles you went through to get it working since you've changed the entire design practically. Inventing your own type of engine is the next step no?

It looks good. Good idea about the loose wires.

Wow, I see some very nice engine bays and some of you have huge singles. They all look great, minus the one that burned to the ground. Sorry about your loss.

Here are a few of mine, this was before the 62-1 went in. It cleaned up the turbo area greatly. I'll have to clean up the engine bay and post some new pics later.

I have to agree with you some of the engine bays in this post are just awesome. Gunk Foamy Engine Brite and CD2 Engine Detailer is what I used on mine.

An aluminum AST will be going on along with a few other items while the FD is in storage.
