Let me start by saying I'm not doubting, but those are some stout numbers for a 1915 at that elevation! Is that corrected??

great numbers there froma 1914 and I'm loving the sound of the DQP's, I used to be a big fan of the A1 style mufflers but I think I was just been brain washed those DQP's look and sound so much better |

Cool engine and good job, Tom. I remember the first time that I saw your car on The Lounge and noticed the rear wheels and their offset... but please refresh my memory; why do they differ from the fronts, again? Are both sets aftermarket or factory?

Thanks Mark, Havin' a blast with it. Won't be long until I break the trans Fronts: KPZ "1585" 4.5x15 356 wheels Rear: Lemmertz "1555" 4.5x15 356 wheels - They have 1" more positive offset than the 1585's I don't know what the original application was. |

Tom, small favour? I have a cab deck lid for mine, which I think is slightly earlier than a 66 lid as it still has the T-handle hole rather than the push button catch and a second skin on the inside. It is however the latter style semi w shape but has had holes drilled for a popes nose rather than than a later number plate light. The later holes have been brazed up. If you have a picture of the inside of the lid would you mind popping it up so I can see what it should look like as I need to fake this one so it is correct? Thanks Alex

Alex - Not a very good pic, but I had it already on the hard drive,
I can shoot another in the daylight later this week, if you want.
