Motor last trial fit before the supercharger(S) yes S are fitted. Rear suspension is going in now so the motor / trans / exhaust need to be in final mock up for clearances. Motor bay trim / heat shields / gas tanks (30 US GAL) and push-rod suspension will go in while motor is getting blown.. The AUDI logos will soon morph Notice the motor bay is all seam sealed plus Rhino lining. No rust, no muss, no fuss.

Hello Carlton- I hope you get this. I'm using my son's FerrariChat account. My son, Andrew, spotted your blog and remembered you from Arrowhead. After reading about your HUGE project, I had to say hello. I bought a 1987 Ferrari 328 GTS and after joining the FCA, we seem to be more involved every day which includes FerrariChat. When you finish you car, you must bring it up to the lake so we can see it. Good luck with the March finish date. Larry Olson
Are the same Larry Olson as in The Lazy O? LAYC? Yes its going to come up the hill I had Rob Jeavons get the garage ready for the Bulls arrival. I get teary eyes just thinking of the first drive up the hill after 30+ years. Did you know it burned on the way up 18 in 74! We have a on board fire system for the "next time" up the hill hehehe. Yes it was Paul Spencer's of the LAYC before I had it in 78 -79. Its a wild project! Fact is I found Paul in Upland he did an interview for the film about the car! This is why we are doing the rally in March at Cask and Cleaver as you know he was one of the founders of CNC. THANKS for the POST! I have a FB blog going over 250 likes https://www.facebook.com/LamborghiniLp420SvmUrraco Yes Peter, I am sick LOL but I hope in a good way..
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!! Small word wide Web.. See you soon! BTW do you remember it when Paul had it or when I had it up at the club? Would be cool to have an interview with the film crew if you do. SMALL cool world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Save March 9th for the rally! I see Lisa T. all the time at Ferrari Club events.. Happy new year to all the Olson Family!
Sorry, I barely remember Paul Spencer. I vaguely recall a Lamborghini at the club but I don't remember any details. I guess at 60 years old in February, I'm past my memory prime. BTW, the only Lisa I know at the lake is Lisa Daily. Who is Lisa T?

Karlton. As long as there is someone out there more insane than me, I feel good about myself. Keep up the great work, Geno
ROFLOL.... That is high praise coming from a fellow V8 Lambo lover with "Kinky Tubing" Did you find a 90 degree rubber hose to fit yet? We should be driving the car by Months End. Dominic is arriving from Belgium tomorrow we stick him on the project Thursday. Alan, Patrick and Dominic are kicking it into high gear now that motor is in suspension mounts are in, seats done, electronics done, wire harness in and all major welding is done. Now its time to bolt her together! Paint will be the last step.
You know you are making progress when Italian aluminum tube are getting sawn up I was going to take a road trip down your way once I get the engine back in, to see your handiwork
It would ab really cool if you made the rally!!!!!! March 9th get that motor together. Its just parts.. LOL Tony waters is coming from the UK next week he plans a peek at the car BTW.
Hes BACK! The full team is on the build now as we charge to the launch date. Two Belgian builders (Alan and Dominic) from the USA Patrick and a host of Alan's four elfs from all over the world..
