----Yup! That's as it appeared on the cover of Corvette news. It sat way too high initially as we didn't have time to adjust it. The 1st showing was at that years B-Gold and the car was finished the night before. You could almost stick your whole hand down one of the Weber's throats....Bill S

hard to find pictures of the Grand Sport from 1963 when the Yenko Gulf team had it

The Corvette #1 is Don's "light weight" 57 that he built to run in B/P

Pictured below is Bill Scott ( Scotty) with what looks like an air hose in his hand. I know they had pneumatic jack system installed in car for quick tire and brake changes. Perhaps they were in the process of lifting the car.
