Projects Seagrave 531 V12 Special BuiLd Up in Brazil

Wow... what a hot rod!
Big, beautiful and badass.
Sounds really good.
Looks SO nice all rubbed out.
Congratulations, Gui.

 

Hola Gui !
I was just looking at the penatabua.com web page and I discovered this very cool racing car that Nelson Piquet is driving. I hope he will be participating at this years race, I hope that some one will get a shot of the " LEVIATHAN " side by side with it, or even better, the " LEVIATHAN " passing this beautiful blue vintage classic!
Be safe, be fast and be first across the finish line!

Dennis.

 

Bravo Gui ! It's ALIVE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Last weekend happened the Pe Na Tábua 2020, abs old car and motorcycle event here in Brazil, in the DIMEP Farm, a particular racing circuit here in São Paulo, Brazil.
I went with my Leviathan, the V12 Seagrave Speedster, for the first racing test drive , and with my 1948 Indian Chief too

The Seagrave runs great in the circuit, but I must make some modifications to make the car more usable.
1- put a Ford F600 Truck steering box, much more low geared than the 1926 Buick that I’m using. The 1926 Buick steering is much more heavy than acceptable.
2- upgrade the cooling system, with water deflectors inside the radiator box.
3 - put a more efficient voltage regulator. The dynamo don’t charge very well in idle.
4- make a complete overhaul in the starter.
5 - make 4 wheels balancing and aligning.

My 1948 Chief. A great bike to ride.

Second place in class.

I stopped before the end of the 6 laps race negou-se I felt the engine a little hot. So I try to avoid any damage.

I will post some videos in YouTube later and share with my H.A.M.B.ers friends.

Excellent!

You and your family need to enjoy your creation. With all of the sweat and blood that I am sure went into building it you deserve the enjoyment.

I can’t imagine the big beautiful beast not being very well received by all that attended.

Fantastic.

 

Great job you and the teem should be proud.

 

Fantastic photos! Thanks for posting.

 

Collecting trophies already, I see. Well played!

Did you get to lap the course on the Indian too? Looking forward to seeing, and hearing, the videos.

 

Hola Gui and family.
Absolutely outstanding. The Leviathan looks stunning on the track. Perfection achieved, looking forward to further development of the components of this great creation!

I will work on another poem for the Leviathan.

Congratulations @Drmalacarne...reaping the rewards and already planning your next performance upgrades...some things just don't appear till the pedal is to the metal...

The Racer looks really sharp...

 

not your average speedster!!!!!! great show Dr, you have done well. best wishes to you and family

 

That is a beautiful machine! Well done sir!

 

What a fantastic adventure and pictures! Thanks, Gary

 

Excellent job! It took me a couple of years to get my vintage race car sorted out after I got it all together, so just keep at it. I'm sure you already know it, but keep a logbook and record everything you can think of. This is especially important if you run on several different tracks.

 

Well done!

 

Magnifico.

YAY the infamous CHRISTMAS AVATAR is back

 

Absolutely beautiful in its final form, and a great job done Gui. You sir are a master!

 

What a great day you had Gui, looking forward to the video..
Do you have any plans for a belly pan?

 

Thanks for sharing your adventure you had with your family. You must be proud of your accomplishment and well deserved to you and the builders.

 

I noticed that myself. However, I will ask Ms. Hansen for her permission before I look at it.

Been waiting to see this!
Yes yes yes.
The day... beautiful.
The car... beautiful.
Your family... beautiful.
Gui, you really know how to live!
Thanks for taking us along.
Good luck with everything!
Looking forward to you fine-tuning the Leviathan and then really putting her through her paces. I wanna see fishtails and rooster tails!

 

Last month I had to disassemble the engine because one main bearing turned inside the block and damaged the block.
I send the whole inferior block to the engine shop to make corrections.

I believe in 4-6 weeks we could put the engine together again.

A lot of work to do all again!!

But we have some energy to spend around here!!

Thanks for all support, my friends H.A.M.B.ers!

Ouch! Sorry to hear about that.

 

Bummer

 

It will all be a distant memory soon...you and your Team are hugely motivated @Drmalacarne...The silver lining is it's repairable and no one was hurt...
