It looks like a good product, but I haven't seen any finished or even in-progress. Anyone here working on one? I'm finally at a point where I...
I did ask in the Pictorial History thread, but it went to page 2 pretty quickly.
Did they ever give any HP figures. I'm fascinated by the car. I love that glass nose and think it's just a beautiful shape.
What kind of HP did it take to get that shape to 280mph?
If you go with Race@Rockets idea of starting with a Ford EFI intake lower half, I may have a spare. I'll check tomorrow.
Have you looked into a "Phill"? It's a pump that gets installed in your garage. It will compress the (extremely) low-pressure gas off your house...

I moved a Bridgeport by rolling it on black iron gas pipe with a pinch bar to help steer. I heard of someone moving a 12,000lb Kearney Trecker...
I'll try to get some tomorrow when there's better light. I used a project box and perf board, both from Radio Shack. I used plumbing fittings to...

I thought he had a black coupe with a Boss 429, circa 1985-ish. Am I thinking of a different car?

IIRC from the Rod & Custom article, it was plywood covered with fiberglass. I just did a Google search to check on that and lifted this from their...
Before I was deployed to Afghanistan, I bought a bunch of stuff to have sent over. One was a set of hair clippers at Wal-Mart. Just give myself an...
Specifically, the beltline. A buddy of mine said one sheet, steamed and bent, but that seems impractical to me. Is it two sheets of plywood joined...
I just sent an e-mail. I'll call on Monday. Thank you.
A year or two ago, I saw a fiberglass repop of a 315 gallon tank, along with a 20" stretch version. I could swear that the seller also offered a...
Yeah that's what I thought. :( I picked up a 1/18 model of a V-1 "Buzz Bomb" on clearance at the hobby shop today. Sand all the bumps off and it...

Another buildoff will start soon. The category has not been announced yet.
When I was in second grade back in the mid-'70s, I used to check out a book with land speed racers in it...all the time. I kept checking out the...
