Good shot but would like to download it. Just a question: Is that air scoop on backwards?
When that car is moving forward with the hood panels removed, the area just in front of the firewall would likely be a high air pressure zone. In that case, better performance with the air intake facing the high pressure zone. Some testing would be warranted, and perhaps that was already done. Yes, I am a retired USAF aeronautical engineer. After a few beers, we make bets on stuff like this. Great car, I like the photo too.
These are so clean looking and wonderful despite the rainfall in the one image. I love old cars no matter what condition they're in and please send me more like these. Really enjoyable and never boring.
