Guys, this thing can't make up it's mind what it wants to be...........what would you like to see happen?
Just a few pics of the parts...........
I used the cowl from a T kit and scratch built the rest of the body, a kit T frame as a starting point & a VW engine from a Manx kit.
The engine will have dual port heads & more than likely a couple of Weber's or fuel injection?

Water Cooled Manx?

11 September 2012 - 09:24 AM

I wanted to build a Manx with a bunch more beans than the VW engine could muster "reliably" without having to rely on air flow to keep the heater cooled down.
In the foggy recesses of my mind I conjured up an aluminum water cooled 170 cubic inch V-4.

I started with a re-issue AMT Manx kit and swiped the V-6 block from a '77 Revell CJ7 Renegade kit.

On with the pics.......I put a couple of bolts in the torsion bar tubes to look like those old adjustable "select-a-drop" deals, when I add the seams for the center sections they should look cool....yeah I'm old enough to remember them.

Cut the middle 2 cylinders from the V-6 and spliced everything back together.

The A.R.K. (Alien Rat Killer)

The giant alien rats have invaded, armed with strange weapons riding humongus poisonous spiders and they are intent on destroying humanity.......

Well a bunch of hard core gear heads got together and decided there was no way we were going down without a fight........the A.R.K. was created!
