It looked to have drum brakes up front. If so, with all that work, they should have put at leat disk brakes up front, if not on all four.

Check out the pictures in the second link -- looks like they went to great lengths to keep it looking completely stock from the exterior. The disc brakes would have spoiled the project!

Has anyone gone throught the construction photos, I could only dream of being able to do something like that. It got me when they were showing making the wheels, all metal and then painted with a wood grain to look more like the original. I got cought up in looking at some of their other projects, amazing work.

I think I would even enjoy just being able to stand there and watch them at work. Did you see the Stalins car, they even painted in fad markes at the seams to make it look like it was all original.

Cosworth made some nice engines, the one in the 190E is a screamer.
