You could run a MBZ S63 with Mil-spec night vision.....


Just sayin'.....



:G-Dub: :lol:

Lol! I wonder if it could be slipped by Brock for Vintage American....

I'm 99% sure that would end up in "Big Baller" but I think it would be worth a shot...

So more progress as the clock continues to count down... Officially there are nine weeks until the start of One Lap...

Dick and company found some chaffing on a couple of the oil lines so we made the decision to replumb a big part of the oil system on the "better safe than sorry" plan. With that done and all of the coolers, tanks, etc. refilled and tested it was time to button things up on the lift and get ready to see the light of day...

Really gives a good perspective on everything. Headlights are going in today - the LED's require a fair bit of reworking to fit well - and LED signal lights will follow shortly thereafter.

Despite not being 100% ready the car saw the light of day again for the first time "in a while" and I think this gives a good perspective on things. It's difficult with the different colors and textures but overall I think everything came together the way we wanted.

The aerocatches are right at home and should work well (I've seen too many hood/windshield matings on the track to run without pins) and even at idle with the fans running the hood vents are moving a bunch of air.

Which leads us to the inevitable first road test..

No that's not Greg driving (I had to look twice to be sure) :) ... we'll play a little bit with ride height (probably bring the back up a tad) but you get a good perspective on the balance between the front and back now. We have a spacer on the front and will fine tune track width and clearance as we go but for now no rubs...

From the back:

Gives a good perspective on the work that was done to the front fender behind the wheelwell. Wing is still split as we haven't run power to the controller (on the agenda for today) but really doesn't look out of place (personally I think the trailer hitch looks stranger than the wing).

Overall it's coming... a few more bits and peices to button up and a couple more short road trips and hopefully we'll be ready for some track time at Buttonwillow in a couple of weeks.

Very nice.. Can't wait to hear how it performs. Good job BOS!

WooHooo! Congrats on the progression.
I would have to say, the wing practically disappears into the background compared to the temporary two-tone look. I saw one of these pics on Facebook and by some odd possible subconcious level of support I'm wearing a OLC t-shirt today! Might sound dorky to some but I hope it gives those who have laid hands on or dipped into their pockets to help the OLC a smile to know it.
The front airdam is pretty menacing and I hope it is as effective as planned. The only cosmetique critique I would offer is I have wondered how it would have looked to bring the look of the grill down there, making the outboard circle slightly larger to emulate the difference between parking light and headlight.
Just an observation and curiosity... not trying to criticize the accomplishements or craftsmanship.

Thanks

We did the lower opening based on a specific size goal that we had in mind (effective opening related to the radiator and the hood vents). We also had to work with the air box (the front of the rad is fully ducted forwards to the grill/airdam) shape - going wider or drastically changing the shape wouldn't work. Stylistically you might be right but to control the air flow at the volume we wanted a smaller opening was what was needed.

So... what I choose to take away from that is you think I've got style!?:relax:
:D
I knew it was more function over form and that you do your homework in addition to surrounding yourself and OLC with likeminded people to get the end result you seek.

I think once painted it is going to look pretty killer, and if you ever felt it did detract at all cosmetically you could always add a mesh grill or heck, even just paint the whole area in such away as to not define two holes are even there. For instance if the whole oval was a subdued black at a distance the 2 vents would dissapear into 1, and the shapes would resemble the grill above in a way. On that note carrying the idea a little more a small chunk of grill matching the 67 pattern might be tasteful, but is more cosmetic flare than racecar.

We're working on some covering for the everything - it's just not there yet. And I agree - once the wrap is done they should be much less noticable...

Absolutely beautiful:thumbsup:
great work to everyone who has laid hands on it.
