  19. I like where this is going, I'm very interested. Goodluck buddy Well that explains why they just flat out ignored me...

  20. Wow, fantasitc work, very beautiful car.
  21. Alright, ya talked me into it. Well, that would be very interesting and fun, but I was never very good with bikes so that's out of my leage. lol Your words are wise as always, this whole thing is suppose to be for fun, I was over thinking it a bit and got carried away with typing. Alright I will just build something I could have alot of fun in and try not to dwell on the realistics of it too much as long as it's street legal right. Thanks man I'm off to the desk for designs and planning, I'll have a pic of my entry later. Thanks for the advice everyone.
  22. Well now that Christmas is over, which I hope everyone had a good one. I guess I can start thinking about my entry now. As soon I saw "unlimited" back on the voting thread I had the idea of a twin 426 Hemi hot/rat rod. The engines would be mounted long ways, chopped top with a few accessories. Try to make something sinister looking I've got most of the parts on hand to build and I haven’t come across anything like it yet in terms of models. But considering this is a cross country race one thing keeps coming back to bother me and that is the problem of fuel mileage. After some researching I've learned that on average they get about 7-12 mpg on a two carb intake. If both engines where running like that I would be stopping very often for gas. Which is not an effective to win the race. So I had a few ideas on over coming this problem, I'm curious on all or your opinions on the car itself and the ideas below. My first idea was to build a trailer with suspension that would house a secondary fuel tank. But then I read "Permanently fixed fuel tank that is not fully exposed." So my question is would a secondary tank inside on the trailer be allowed? I've seen a few rat rods locally that had beer kegs mounted to the back for fuel tanks out in the open so I was just curious. Either way I'm mostly likely going to build a trailer for it anyway I just thought I would ask about the extra fuel tank part. My main idea for story purposes is to have both engines able to run but only have the back engine running all the time and a have a 2 piece adapter setup to connect the engines together along with a few quick links for the carb. Turn on the it’s fuel pump and it should be ready to go in about 20 minutes should I need the extra power. Another would be single carbs on both engines limiting the power I shouldn‘t need a lot push this car. A 5 or 6 speed tranny out of a viper or a vette or something. If the tranny didn't pan out then taller gears in the back. Or I could go with the cheap way and leave the front engine only being for show to conserve fuel mileage. What do you guys think about it? Does it sound realistic or am I just speaking nonsense (cause I do a lot of that)
  23. A Black Beauty it is, awesome job. I also like the plates, Gran Turismo forever.
  24. Awesome job man, I like it alot.
  25. Congrats guys, you did amazing jobs on your cars. Zen's panel just goes to show how popular they still are. My dad owns a 64 suburban, it shows it's age and scars but everyone that goes bye it looks and smiles. A cop even lowered his radar gun and smiled as we went bye once of the interstate. So Zen I can confirm that a cop would just look and smile if you went bye in it, I would too. Again congrats to the top 3 and I big salute to everyone who finished. I eagerly await being apart of next years run.
