    (COSWORTH 100E)CAN YOU GUESS WHAT IT IS?

    Heres a car that is going to upset a few people in the cars owners club, but I for one think its a good idea and should have been done years ago. I'll post the biggest mod pics up in a week or so, depending on deliveries.

    looking good, nice round strong bends.
    gary, you should build yourself a "bead roller" to add some grooves for extra strenght and look.

    beads on compound curves, now your asking. Adding complication is adding cost, and i don't like adding cost if its not adding speed.

    Clint, don't rush the Mk1, i still havnt got rid of the Jensen healey yet, the bloody back axle still hasnt arrived.
