Crazy!

Did the article go into any depth (pun) about how they kept the alternator
& cooling tin from soaking/sucking water? I can see it would be easy to
protect the carburetor intake, and the exhaust with a snorkels like the old
military jeeps had, but I can't figure how they would do the cooling fan
stuff.

I have a Hot VW mag form 1975 that shows a bunch of guys that cut the top
off of bugs and welded cv joints to the lower engine pulley and hooked up a
prop to that. They had races with these things. The water line on these
cars
was at about the door handle.   Todd
