I didn't think to ask any of you when I saw you at DCS:
How do you access the engine on a Time Machine conversion?
Thanks,

The whole thing lifts up. Typically hinged at the back but different builders do it differently. In some designs you have to remove a section of the "vent" where it hooks around the fascia, in others you slide the panel back to disengage, and I've seen some where they just don't make the vent true to the design and it will lift up like the normal engine cover. It's insanely heavy no matter what, and the more "true" the design the harder it is.

On our cars, you just lift it up and hold it up with a steel pole.
