    A while back, somebody was wondering if there are any street legal blown Hilborn 4 port mechanical injected dragsters/modified coupes out there. Here is a short video of the one I just got done with. I have been working on it for 18 months, and built everything in my garage.

  3. You are one wild and crazy guy!!!

    I love the license plate, by the way.

    Very impressive, but a pretty loose interpretation of street legal! ;)

    Thanks for sharing!

    That looked pretty cool and seemed to be very reliable on the street. Good going!

    Your a talented guy to be sure. Would love to take it to the local Safeway just a mile away. I'm sure the local boy's in blue would stop me every block or so. WOW, love it.

    I am sorry, but having current plates does not make it a street legal car.

    Here in Utah it is quite street legal. It has a VIN#, licensed, Registered & Insured. and the cops here in So. Utah are cool and love it. the give me a thumbs up, smile and a wave. Just obey the laws and your o.k. thanks merek

    What about the head lights? They don't look for those?
    Jay
     
  27. Headlights? Front turn signals? Fenders?
    Can't believe it would be "Legal" - certainly not here

    Utah either has some really lax laws, or it's not quite legal ......

    nice looking build either way

    thats cool looking & neat for an occasional cruise nights but I don't know about a daily driver. I hope you compensated in some way for excess chassis flex for common street driving & I have to wonder is there any other way out of the cockpit if the body is ever pinned shut? good luck with it & be safe!

    Terrific car, merek. You are a fine craftsman. Did you make the body?

    I've watched the video a dozen times. It looks especially cool out in traffic.
