Thanks Fabian. Those photos were taken by R.K. when John Howe still owned the car (and is driving it down Sierra Madre, in San Marino, in that picture). As many others have stated here before, that car was scary fast. The paint was DEEP and the wheels looked just right. It made me nervous just to work on and be near the car, afraid to hurt the paint! On a side note, I was at El Monte Airport last week and ran into Jim Behrens, who built John's engine and trans. We had a good chat about that car and others that came through his shop at the time.
I don't want to hijack this thread, but I wish there was a way to trace where many of those cars ended up in Japan. Just to see into the crystal ball........many a good car went there..........

Fabian, I promise you photos, if it's the last thing I do. I will post them soon, and thanks again for all your help. P.S. If I can get someone to help with my children that day, I will have the Pepco running at Drag Day. It is running very well, thanks to George Schmidt at the Butcher Shop. I owe him a ton. How well does it run? Well enough to put Allen Wiess on the trailer..............   |

Russell, you asked if Dyno had the R&R Machine drag bug on the cover of Hot VWs. I have it and I'm in the process of restoring it. The bad part is it's kind of gotten on the back burner because of time/money and other projects. But check out my blog! http://web.mac.com/larry_mckenzie/ Photo by Brian Watts. |

oh that car is so nice. even with the exhaust exiting before the backwheel. i like it how in the 80's there have been a lot of nice simple looking callooks, but upon closer inspection they have details that are seldom seen on cars of today and still would look good in my honest opinion
