    that takes some thinking!!!! my grandfather told me when i was a pup that they took a ww1 airplane engine and turned it backwards and put it in a model t or a ,i dont rememebr just what. and that that think scared anyone who tried to drive it.is that even possible?or was he just bs me?
     
  7. At minute 0:50 It sounded like the Mexican Band that played at my Cousin's Conzuelas Quinceanera/wedding/baptism after 2 bottles of Tequila...Actually it was more like 1 bottle but I mixed it with water to make 2.....
    Anyways..
    After that that was the sweet sound of Death From Above....
    I dont care much for the look of the "truck"???
    But the thing is Awesome!!!!
    That is plain Chuck Norris Level Bad ass.
     
  8. I was thinking Professor Fate in the Great Race movie. Sure is different and certainly has the cool and wow factor.

  13. You're supposed to yell contact before you try and start it. :D

    Radial engines have always intrigued me. Pretty neat idea.

    The sound it makes when it tries to fire could be enuff to scare a whole neighbourhood.
    Fuckin legit.

    On a side note, it needs straight pipes, aint loud enuff.
     
  18. Now that is just straight up bad ass. I'd love to hear it run/see it in person.

    My guess is it seizes from overheating before it gets 10 miles down the road. Air cooled aircraft engines have very exacting cowling and ducting requirements to keep them cool and that's with a 10' propeller pushing air over the cylinders. I just wish I had the money somebody can waste on a no-go like that for my project.
