    Pretty much where I stand too. All depends on what you want to do with it. By the time you get it fixed/modified, I could build one to my needs. I'd try to talk him down some.

    Out in the country near Alvin TX south of Houston is one of the original Monorail cars from the Houston Astrodome complex when it was new in the 60s sitting in a guy's yard!
    These were powered by Hemi Chryslers I am told.
    Amzing the stuff you find when you're just riding around following no plan and don't have the foggiest idea actually where you are but you're burning $2 gas and having a good time.

    I'm thinkin' on the lines of a 1/2 scale Bonneville car, with a little V8-60 in it or if you want to be different, put a Crosley motor in it :)

    Hmmm. Just had another thought... Harley Powered (insert evil grin here)

    There is absolutely no doubt about it. It is a escape pod from an alien spaceship, probably from Roswell. BE CAREFUL, it maybe radioactive!
     
  23. I am sure Bobby Green would love to have it. He likes everything that shape. Or owns it already.

  28. Looks like a giant suppository with a drivers seat.

    Do you really want to know what you should do with it?
