    SO here at bag of crap engineering we have spent a whole couple of hours working on our latest creation. No before all you start whinning on about colapasable columns etc I am well aware of all the legalities. At this point we are concentration on getting it running and driveable but not for the raod. We still neeed a bit of engineering to sort out before we contemplate rego. It can and will be done just not yet as time is of the essence.....

    So....

    Nice work. Great start to a cool project! X2 on fenders for the Gasser look. It's gonna be a neat car when it's all finished! Good luck with the rest of the build. Hope to see more progress pics soon!

    benflathead lives on nothing more than red cordial
    (for the Americans its basically mix it yourself Redbull)

    Ben loves to throw something together for our Open House, he started this only a few weeks ago and in between last sunday when it ran down the street and starting in, I'd say mid-September...and we spent 2 weeks in the USA for SEMA!!


    here is a video of its 'cruising' down the road open (turn up the sound!!)
