It looks as though your side pipes exit below the body.  That must have made
for some interesting clearance challenges.  What an incredible finish on
Chris' car, and that Bristol with the wire wheels is a beautiful little car!

 . . . Your Pirelli's are still doing great!  Though I'm starting to think
about replacing the rears with 315's.

As promised earlier today . . . 

This is (was) my Kirkham FIA "hybrid" along side my friend's AC Bristol
(red).  The Kirkham "hybrid" is a big block frame and a-arm suspended car
with a small block body over it.  the rear of my car was about 1/2" narrower
than a big block car.

Next, my friend Chris built this big block car - 500" FE motor, tremec RR
600.  He has about 400 hours bringing the body from "file" finish to
completion.  also an authentic AC Bristol pictured in black.
