built almost completely out of stuff the guy had laying around his shop
its 37 inches tall to the roof
the top of the engine will be higher than the roof.by allot.
it will be a driven regularly
his only 2 purchases needed to get it to this point were the grill shell, and a set of rear tires (not shown)
^^^ last pic is the trans cover, with embossed flames 🙂

He needs an access panel in the trans cover, so he can fix it while driving down the road.

Thats hot. Ive seen a purple “thing” that looks like that on a show on History. It looked a little over the top but it seems like this guy is going to make it look good. Deffinitely nice looking tho.

:tup: to creativity, but im not feeling it at all. He’ll have like zero visability in front of him, the inside of that car will be hot as hell with the tranny there, and like already said the front tires are too big and dont see to fit it well.

Would be cool if the wheelbase didnt look all sorts of fucked up from being dropped that low. Good thing those were never meant to handle, suspension geometery what?

:tdown:
It wont look good cause you’ll just be thinking about how uncomfortable it looks.
It wont be fast, cause you’ll die.
It wont be driven far because roads aren’t flat.
What are the approach and depature angles?
