Nick is a city kid; he doesn't even have a learner's permit. His brother Peter, who turns 22 in January, just got his license a month ago and hasn't been behind the wheel since the driving test. One of the biggest advantages of raising teenagers in Manhattan...

Just got some pictures from Jim Inglese of the new Weber setup and throttle linkage. He plans to post these on his site. Looks yummy to me! Can't wait to fire it up!
For comparison purposes, here is a pic of an original 289 comp car:

Some more from Jim Inglese
Jim sent me two more pictures this morning of two critical components he had fabricated: the waterneck with the fuel log attached and the footbox throttle arm.

Thanks! Looks like they are going to make mine right-hand drive now...
Also, I didn't mention this before, but they have installed a fuel cell up where the standard fuel tank would be (behind the aluminum panel), so I get to keep the trunk space! Pretty cool by Doug and the boys! Not the biggest tank (13 gallons, if my memory is correct), but it can be filled through the filler cap and I'm not likely to take long trips.
