it wiggled and pulled its self free and bolted away.

The same thing happened to me about 25 years ago, but the cat wasn't so lucky! (The belt survived.)

Curious - what's with the metal cover on top of the K&N air filter? Is it part of a mod kit?

Wow, what is that you have hiding in the background of your spider?? (Which looks great, by the way-digging the chin spoiler)

Do you mean the car in the background or what's in the barrels? Or both? :P

Well, I would just assume that those are charred oak barrels and that you are aging home-made whiskey :wink:
But the car looks stunning! I recognize it, but can't put my finger on what it is. Looks like it was born in the mid-'60's, am I right?

It Looks very "Maserati-like," but I'm no expert.

gritracing, i noticed you have a heatshield around your air filter. I assume that is to keep hot air from the exhaust away. is it effective. Have you run your car both ways to see if there is a performance difference. I'm thinking of doing the same and would like to know if it is worth the effort.

Not much done in there that a couple rattle cans of paint, a bottle of Bad Dog aluminum polish and some elbow grease can't accomplish. Also, being retired and having the time helps. :P
