Works on the principle of evaporation of water and air movement (ram effect). Designed to hang at the top of a partially open window, probably wouldn't work on your roadster very well.Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

Yes it does, I have Air Speed bookmarked on my computer... I have been following the Hebrod build for a while and talked some with the builder... What an awesome Hot Rod... I will definately be using a few of his ideas on my build...
Just an update on my project... Bought this nice set of 35 Ford wires the other day...

I really like this VW look, found on VolksRODS.com
I need to put this tunnel ram SBC under the hood, ahhhhh, trunk lid.
Right after I finish my '50 Stude Retro-Rod.

I'd like to make a stude amphibious some day. Front end is like:
begging for it..
Education is expensive. Keep that in mind, and you'll never be terribly upset when a project goes awry.

I love the whole look of the brown bug. He really did a fantastic job on all the elements.

I read an article years ago stating that the VW Beetle is the only known vehicle that was completely designed/engineered by one person. That person was infact Dr. Ferdinand Porsche. Originally Posted by Bob Parmenter

Looks like someone done squashed a bug!!!
Kustom Coach Does some good work... I also like the Volksrod that was on the cover of VW trends a couple of months back that they put together...

Sorry for your loss of friend Mike McGee, Shine. Great trans men are few and far between, it seems. Sadly, Mike Frade was only 66 and had been talking about retirement for ten years that I know...
