That's a nice car but historic?? Most of what made it historic is gone or atleast altered. In my opinion he has a fast race car with some historic paperwork........

Whosever car that is....
The trick with the hood prop and fberglass hood is to rig a slider on the strut brace wth an aluminum stick on it.
when you close the hood - slide slider to right and long stick across top of engine.
When you raise the hood, slide slider to center and prop hood under front reinforcement, so as not to crack fiber braces where the factory struts attack to under high leverage loading

It's a custom made tank. Very easy to do if you can TIG weld or know someone that does.

(I really need to proof my posts before posting )

for that amount of money, I'd put extra $$ with it and try to talk Jason out of the #4 968 Turbo RS

PCA requires an X on the back of a rookie driver for like the first X races. I am pretty sure X is like 3 or something. That way people know what your experience level is. Anybody want to verify this.

That, or these were shot at a NASA event and it's an instructor's car (NASA uses the "x" to indicate an instructor in some/all regions.)

Hmmm I have access to TIG. Just putting this out there... would CF work as an expansion tank material property wise?

Why is the alternator so high up. Could they not afford the A/C Delete bracket?
