some awesome pics .. than you.. im hoping to achieve a really simple packaging look like a race engine, un cluttered. im removing the brake servo and re routing / removing as many wires as possible, alloy rad, catch tanks.. just a simple mechanical look, no original i know, but done right it will work for me...

Yes those black forest roads are nice but at 8500 rpm you would keep up with the traffic in the middle lanes at least :lol:
