What is that @ the left side of the engine , where I'd expect the vacuum booster for the brakes ?

maybe it's the camera perspective , the hose and it look huge ;D


Really nice work on the underside ...

PS - what happened with the rear window ?


Happy New Year ,

Engine question, it is the air cleaner. Engine is supercharged. Brake master cylinder is beneath it. Rear window, lost grip on rear window during installation, got glue on it.

Sorry about the window .
I'm always worried around clear parts .It takes so little to mess them up .

Can you post a close-up of the engine ?
The two pieces on the left are confusing me :

Thanks ,

Pieces on left are supercharger, piping and air cleaner.

 

[urumomo]

Ah , OK . thanks . ;D

That's the air filter then .
Is this part of the original or a modification ?

I don't think I've ever seen a belt driven centrifugal compressor arrangement like that -- BUT , I wouldn't call myself a car guy : ;D

Cheers ,

It was a factory option in 1957, rare, but offered.
