Mad Slammer Posted May 24, 2010 Posted May 24, 2010 I've been working on this for a couple of weeks. Hope you like it. . .
dartman Posted May 24, 2010 Posted May 24, 2010 I like it so far.What are you thinking about for a motor?
58 Impala Posted May 24, 2010 Posted May 24, 2010 Neat idea. Definitely have to try and stuff a blown motor of some kind in it.
Mad Slammer Posted May 25, 2010 Author Posted May 25, 2010 Well, the engine is going to be an Offenhauser indy car 4 cylinder. Not much detail here, just some wiring and hoses, etc. While this engine wouldn't be a "real" option, I'm using it as a "what if" type of build, after all it's just to be different. . . Here's a pic of how the engine fits. . . The radiator is from a 37 ford street rod.
Guest Johnny Posted May 25, 2010 Posted May 25, 2010 Anything you do to that car is an improvement! I like your idea!

Check him out. Any decision on color yet?? See ya'
Mad Slammer Posted May 26, 2010 Author Posted May 26, 2010 No color yet, Thinking of something a bit Psicodelic. . . or maybe a heavy metalflake with candy clearcoat. . .

rustybill1960 Posted June 3, 2010 Posted June 3, 2010 WOW! Nice build! Huh, never thought of it before, but, that would lend its self very well to a salt flat car, huh. How bout that! Thank You for sharing Later Russ
