Hi Lambotsavy!
Well, George and Mike will probably finish it this week or next but I won't be able to take it out until the salt is off the road. Probably April. I have a few things I want to do to it wants it gets delivered. For one thing the rear wing is off a late model Countach so the angle is wrong. It generates lift! So that has got to be fixed.

Here's a few more photos

The Clutch Disc is Kevlar.

Here's a couple of design pictures of how I modified the Air Box Posts so I don't tear out the fiberglass. I installed a M8x8 set screw first to use as a lock for the new "Stud" set screw which is an M8x30. I then had my shop machine threaded adapters which are long enough to be turned down for correct fit to the upper Air box as needed. The final item was the hand nut on top. I can post a pdf of the adapter print if anyone is interested. You'd probably need access to a metal lathe to adjust the depth of the adapters.

and the engine is in the engine bay!
