Race cars usually do not have a power booster and the master is often under the floorboard with a pedal coming up rather than down.

GM got it right on the PPG, but not on the fastbacks. The PPG hips IMO look far better than the fastbacks.

Nevermind the lines of the car, I think those decklid vents make much more sense than the stock ones. They look like they might actually work!

Thanks for that bump, Curly... I spent some time looking up pics of the 1990 concept but never found this thread.

I guess now that its been brought up, it'll be easier to find in the future. (hooray for keywords)

Some of the race cars had the reservoir for both the clutch & brake master cylinders mounted up on the dash on the passenger side so they could be easily checked or filled.

In recent times, the custom aftermarket car/automobile roadwheel has become a status symbol. These wheels are often incorrectly referred to as "rims". The term "rim" is incorrect because the rim is only the outer portion of a wheel (where the tire is mounted

This why I have never warmed to the stock fastback. I saw the PPG cars before the Factory fastback and never felt they got it right. I also love how they did the deck lid with the lip spoiler and coupe tail light.

The gas neck extension was on a Mera. Never mind the stick



I saw a replica at WCF using this type of gas next.

The ppg pic is very useful for me, I went over to Av8fiero's house today and started working on the body work for his hybrid chop. I basically came to the same result with the hip next to the quarter window as shown here. I have it roughed it maybe he can post some pics of it but it's far from done.

In this case the little "box" just in front of the driver on the fire wall covers the master brake cylinders and clutch master. The pedal pivots from above. I believe that this car has dual master brake cylinders. One for the front and one for the rear. This is useful for adjusting the amount of break force bias front to rear.

(edit for spelling)
