Mickey McChesney Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Took this shot at the Hilton Head Concours last year. I know it's not a stock engine compartment but it really was "outstanding" It was a full custom Chevelle and it did take top prize in class.Mickey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Bond Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Here is a pic of our newly restored 1974 MGBGT. Actually, we've got over 3k miles on it now. Keeping them clean is tough when you drive them. Also included a pic of the grandkids helping work on the car. Got them started young.Any MG questions cheerfully answered, and yes, I've heard all the Joseph Lucas jokes already.Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Dr. Strangelove Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 There really is no substitute for cubic inches!Here we have the Pratt & Whitney R-2800, 18 cylinder radial engine. Thats right, 2800 cubic inches, with up to 2500 HP.This engine was used extensively in WWII aircraft. Installed in some of the sweetest looking, but deadly, aircraft to come off a drawing board too.Here is 2 of the 'engine compartments' it came in. The gull winged Chance-Voight F4U Corsair and the stout Republic P-47.Buy American people!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCHinson Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Nickelroadster... check the file size. My guess is that your photo is too large. I have seen that problem before. If you can edit it to compress the file size it will probably work then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
