The workmanship looks great, but I see the potential turbulence inside of the cover going into the tubes into the fuel system.
An opinion, Lee
My next drag beetle build.

Re: My next drag beetle build.
Awesome work! (as always)
Addendum to Newtons first law:
zero vehicles on jackstands, square gets a fresh 090 and 1911, cabby gets a blower.
EZ3.6 Vanagon after that.(mounted, needs everything finished) then Creamsicle.

Re: My next drag beetle build.
I've been busy with tuning clients cars, but now when season is over and I started working with my own bug.
It was an awesome season and I learned alot. Fastest and the only methanol car I tuned with my own ecu is in 7s now. (~1200h LS) I also had a chance to push 2 little engines to their limit and I was able to see 750nm 511kw from hubs on 1.8L audi and 820nm 512kw from hubs on 2L opel engine. It gives me really good push to wait for my saab engine. i really beleve that 600kw 900NM from hubs can be done with 4 cylinder engine.
Now some pics of last week works on front axle. Wheelbase was set to 108" That was max I could fit under hood. (No wings)
I'm not pleased with that front end look. There are pipes that are not needed and some parts would look better if they would be different but I have to live with that, or I just make 1 step forward and 2 steps back and It will never be finished.
