Watched your video many times, enjoyed them. Could you post more pictures of your engine bay. I noticed the gray side panels, are those custom made ? Also is your engine open behind your seat or do you have a enclosure ?

CrownV8 updating brakes and POWER STEERING
I'm working on bigger front brakes, 4 piston Dynalite calipers - 12.25" rotors and adding a power brake booster.
Here's the front brakes done, booster is installed, photos to follow.
This is getting installed next before autocross season starts:

Why so many cones on the course today? Back in my day, we had two cones to determine the gates, and a few in line for the slaloms.
Today's courses look like an explosion in a cone factory.

I've dreamed about having power steering and brakes in this car since bigger tires came out way back.
Photos of the power steering installation, trying to get it done for autocross season and 2015 convention.
