Been steadily making progress and improvements along the way. More details soon, but it's really moving along!

Today the engine went in. I decided to do some more small details to add more "authenticity" to my fake! A carburetor drip pan was used that drained the fuel off the intake on the original BMW V8. Yes, that's correct. Leaky carbs? No problem. Just getcha one of them drip pans under it! I fabricated my own air cleaners to look close to the originally installed Knechts. Still a few more details to fix on those.

With vacation coming up I should have the car back on the road by the end of the month or early next month. Far from the finishline, but its really coming together and I'm happy with the progress.

More to come soon!

Cheers
Dave
