Gary: Yes it will, and with a surprising gap! It is a full 73'' wide.
I have thought of running it naked mainly because i don't like the body colour much..
That IS your oil guage in place and to my mind looks just right, even if a bit hidden here!
Realy pleased with the way it's coming together, but only 8 weeks to go and I'm on hols for 2 of those

Not brave enough.
You must not upset the sponsor....
The car has a few bits to go:
Plumb the brakes lines to the rear
Get the -20 size feed pipe for the dry sump
Get the carb jets from Webcom or PMO
Check the electrics
Pour in a gallon and stand back...
Vroooom (I hope)
Set-up suspension with fishing lines (Old Skool stuff)
Finish body mountings and buy some DDK stickers
Only have 5 working weeks worth of time so after this sat racing the Bitza my hillclimbing will stop and my next hill will be in the Lola Porsche.
You have been warned.

Looking good Graham !
Why don't you do what many of the VSCC competitors do - arrange a 'firing up' party & invite a bunch of other enthusiasts round to witness (& hopefully celebrate) the inaugural firing up of the engine ?

I am sure a few of my hillclimb friends will come along to the Big Bang especially as they are fully trained Marshals with fire fighting experience and general emergency proceedure veterans...
It's been a long time since I did this kind of thing, so a party it will be.
9 months hard slog so far and only 8 weeks to go..
Bloody cars.

Well done Graham! Loton Park in June then?
Terry was with us at Wiscombe at the week-end, and he's getting the hillclimb bug again.................
He definitely wants to see the Lola running.
That noise must make it all worthwhile!
Keep going!
