...Trying Mat. Tx...

We're doing a late car but are trying to keep everything as good as we can and last week opted to keep the vents behind the rear window. Whilst we could have panelled that in  the curves in that area mean that it would be difficult to do with zero distortion so we've opted to leave them as they are. Good to see a car detrimmed retaining them and looking good. I wasn't sure how it would sit and now I know.

 Cool

Now i understand, maybe this helps a little as well, got no better pics from the vents. Thanks Mat.

Harry

Okay, I have been looking into this warm beer myth. Apparently the beer is not warm but room temp and usually from a cellar. So it is still some what cold, just not ice cold like us Americans like it. True?

Thanks Harry, we're keeping the uprights on ours but if a car looks OK maybe there's no need to change it?

Don't really have any good pics of my 57.
Suppose this is my favourite. On the other hand i forgot to close the engine lid (added cooling on a long trip) and it makes the wheels look color coded, they are not! Have to take some better ones this year..
I'm also running without the bumpers now, makes it look very different.
