Sweet.
Kinda looks like something out of the movie Death Race
Driving up to the Sonic in this thing! They'd call the cops.
Very steampunk!
Please post video of it making a run, if you have any.
That thing is just cool!
Rolling out a body for a Bonneville car now. Running for 264 mph.

Awesome work Tin, she's a beauty!
That thing is a work of art, Tim!
I don't know much about salt flat racers. Is the black square mounted to the differential so you can push start it with another vehicle, or is it some sort of protective plate?
That thing belonged in the new Mad Max movie.. very cool! Tinny as expected always makes some unreal stuff.Quote:

Tail lights and part of the hood. Beyond that, your guess is as good as mine.Quote:
