No offense, but slalom, while definitely requiring skill, is to serious track time what a burn out is to a 1/4 mile run. It ain't serious until...
Most excellent build. Very inspiring indeed. A few thoughts: -Throw a barrel type b-b-q up front. I once saw a guy do that on a middie. He...
I get your point, but aluminum has always been a relatively expensive exotic metal compared to steel, and practically any use of it for attractive...
FWIW, for all the trouble that you're going to have finding rare aluminum panels, butchering them and stitching them back together, you could...
Chebby Vortec 4.2 inline 6. All aluminum, 260 to 290 HP stock. Bodacious, generally overlooked mill that can be had used in good shape for $600 or so.

To heck with you! Stealing my idea before I even did it!;) Seriously, well done. Very inspiring to get off my dead ass......
Great tech article. Thanks! Pardon my ignorance, but what holds the glass in place? How secure would such a window be at repeated 130 MPH speeds?
