Please show how those rear spring perches mount up, I'd be really interested in converting my 70's mounts to the 240 style just to run these things.

Jeez louise. Both of these cars have been awesome. I love what you're doing with the blue car. Cannot wait to see where it continues to go.

New rear spring setup showed up this week from Kaplhenke Racing. Looking forward to not having a raked out car.

I was going to run 40 dcoes but changed my mind. I thought about using quad mikunis but didn't want to deal with tuning 4 carbs and they're really expensive.

^ Radical. I am going to use r1 mikuni carbs on my 2002 but for the 145 I am going to use twin weber 40's. I can't wait to see/hear you car after those itb's. You are really doing a good job with this 142 keep up the good work.

I was drooling the entire time reading this. Also, I think the Aqua color is much nicer. This is just so fabulous.

Love the shot!...how do you hook up the new wheel? Does it just bolt right up?

I scored a vintage hub adapter with a vintage nardi adapter already bolted to it on ebay. It was pulled out of a 1973 144. It came with an old volvo horn button too, but it's pretty beat up and the nardi button looks much nicer. So in short, you need a hub adapter.

Here's another shot, but in color. Had more sun in the sky when I took this one, however I accidentally spun the zoom ring on the 14-24 2.8 so it messed my comp up.. But the colors aren't all jacked..

YUM!

If I saw you on the street I would definitely have to flag you down and talk to you.

[SheaMoose]

Nice shot!

Wife got home late, which meant I had the kids while the sun was dropping fast. Ran outside when she got home, threw the rig up on the car and rolled down the street a few times. Color temps were way off because of street lights and home front lights, so black and white it is for now.
