    Default OCD Lola almost alive

    I just got the body back from the shop. This thing is finally coming together. The only problem is that I will have to pull the transmission since the new annualr release system is leaking.

    Looking good Dr. Jones!

    What's the plan for its first outing? Are you heading to Eagles Canyon, Hallett in July?

    I still have a bunch of small things to do. So Texas is not looking like it will work out. I want to take it up to MAM for a Friday test and tune. Then we should hit Blackhawk first.

    Nice Jones. Glad you added the little scallops to the airbox. How did you get the number. CVAR or VSCDA? I tried to reserve 88 but naturally they both didn't have it. I theoretically have it for VSCDA. It was a compromise so I can easily change to an 83 for CVAR events. Are they actually going to see yours against that screaming polished AL panel?!
    Later, M.B.

    I don't care if they see the number or not. It is a contrasting shade per the GCR.

    By the way Mark, Welcome. The number came from CVAR.

    Mike,

    You are one sick puppy. The car looks too nice to race. Maybe the concours at the BRIC, excuse me Kohler Invitational at RA by SVRA, should be the first entry.

    Cool splitter modification to the nose, I like it. I think a lot of people made neat noses for those cars back in the day. And you have to love the air intake!

    Cliffy,

    Your right it is one sick puppy, hence the OCD Lola name. All this started with the new aluminum panels and went down hill from there.

    A friend raced one YEARS ago and I got it from him. I even got one of his valve covers with Lady Godiva on it. Cool garage art.

    Wow, that's beautiful. I have a '74 T340 (#HU62) that will never be anywhere near that nice. I like the mirrors - I have seen very few T340/342s with the original style mirrors and supports.
