I would want to cut a common crank and build an 8-rotor Wankel, then build a roadster for it based on a Zipper Lakes Modified, using a T-56 and quick-change. I envision it at 1500 hp using a centrifugal blower and intercooler. Car would weigh in at less than 2200 lbs and would be just a little bit of fun runnin' through the mountains. IFS and IRS of course. The trans should last a few miles if shifted with a little common sense.
You gotta love grandpa munster's racecar. I think that is the coolest TV car.
That's what I dream of. It's only a dream to me.
Now I don't know why it showed that pic. I'm new at this. But then again. It would need a motor like this.
In a hurry to get into a coffin? LOL!
Maybe if you have a relative croak... you could have them cremated after the viewing, and end up with the basic material for this project. :-)
LOL! Part of me is already there. Maybe I should make a knob out of my ashes that I have. Good idea. LMAO!
Huge blown BBC dual in line seated street legal winged rear engine dragster.
Yeah-that would get me in trouble in a hurry.:eek::rolleyes::LOL::LOL:

Nope.I have had that one on file for a few yrs now.Detail drawings are coil overs a-frame R&P and four link rear end.The back haft is a custom Chassisworks because the need of a quick raise and fall to fit a Astro style body.Full tin rolled floor boards.On center driveline.18" engine set back.Quote:

woulda been fun but it was just a rusty old 4dr
building it.. I think anyway.. I may have to build a few of them before I get 1 that is ' just right '..
Next, I want to build a sedan, and I'm going give it a rake, and rounded corners. after that. 3 window coupe I think
but this 1 will be powered with a '72 350 4 bolt, TH 350 and a junkyard S10 ZR2 rear end.. cheap and reliable
Well,if I can get the Customline pushed ahead a bit more,I ll be happy..cos when thats done,our 60 Galaxie is waiting in the corner for a build..So is the T tudor,which I might part with if the money is right..I would like to build a 32/5w,seeing as I do the bodies for other people..Just something useable,2'' chop,slight rake on the front of the body,4'' dropped axle,chromies,15x8 and 14 or 15x6,bobbed rear fenders,36 Ford style cycle fenders on the front,and a Oldsmobile,or an old Poly and four speed...Maybe after the 29 roadster,,hmmm.:eek::confused:
love that merc! i would go with big block ford running gear but thats me. would be pimp on airbags!
if we go into bikes as stovens suggested i know a guy with a police issued 48 harley with sidecar- i want one! wouldnt modify it apart from a hot engine rebuild so it looked original. not a hot rod but i still like a cool bike next to a hot rod. oh and a 'rat rod' style harley -matt black wires and a model a tail light with some red pinstriping and a knuckle head just because of its name! Knucklehead is a ''friendly'' insult over here.
