Steve,I am so glad I installed the carb access panel on my car. It is incredibly practical. I also installed one on the 100 I am currently working on. Gary

 Gary,The front fenders are still steel.  I took a rubbing from Pat Moss's car when I was in England many years ago... that's that pattern I gave Brad to duplicate... it's the same one I used for my Works Rally Tribute car. The carb. access panel is a shameless duplicate of Lin Rose's panel.  It is similar to the Works carb. access panels, but executed a bit more elegantly than Works panel.

 Steve,It is good to hear from you again. Your project is looking & sounding great. You are very ambitious & your workmanship is flawless. Are those aluminum front fenders on the body? Thanks for the description & photos.Gary Hodson

 Gentlemen,My friend Lin Rose just gave me a heads-up that my old EFI system was being discussed.
That car, 1963 AH Works Rally Tribute, ran great and is now living in Australia.  The new owner has had it on 3 continents and roughly 14 countries... still running well last I heard.  And, yes, on that build I did as much as I could to hide all the EFI stuff.
I'm working on a "new" restoration now... another 1963 BJ7.  This one will also be EFI.  But, and some may have issue with this, I've decided to take the EFI to the next level.  To do that I needed to accept that it would look higher tech than the last one.  So, this will definitely look like a EFI car.  I'm hoping to maximize the overall EFI aspect of this engine... meaning improved efficiency and power.  I'll enclose a few images.  I started with Weber aluminum castings, which were heavily massaged with 6 injector bungs, fuel rail mountings, custom mounting brackets for plenum, port matched to the heads and a custom ("bespoke" in English terms) plenum with a single throttle body... to hit the high points.  The overall engine is more aggressive than the last one with the head extensively worked over by a AH head Rockstar, Hap Waldrop in South Carolina, hotter cam custom cut for the engine by Dema Elgin, headers and a bunch of other details.  As I said, this may not be for everyone, but I'm excited about the project.  The engine is together and running with the 3rd, and final, iteration of the manifold.  It is patiently waiting on a stand in my shop for the receiving car to be ready..  Unfortunately, the car that it will go in is quite a ways from done.  I had hoped to have it on the road this summer, but that's looking like a stretch.
Oh and this will look more like the Sebring Healey's (yes, Gary, more like yours) than a rally car.  
That's for the codos Gary, I hope I can live up to your expectations this time around!
Feel free to ask questions.

 Yes, Steve's FI system & his workmanship is outstanding. He has several YouTube videos showing his system. Gary Hodson

Subject: Re: [Healeys] Fuel Injection  More than a decade ago, during several of the USA West Coast meets that we attended, there was a fellow that had developed a fuel injection system that basically looked like a stock SU carb setup. Over the years I have lost the contact info but it was slick.  The injectors and plumbing were mounted out of sight, unless you happened to be under the car and performed nicely. Any one have any more info on this fellow or his work? Perry
