Brudda Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Ok Claude, you fit it in a van, I’m trying to fit an Allison in a jeep. Not going very well. But I’m still trying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an Allison Salt Flat project sitting on the shelf of doom, so I'm looking at your details for the engine. Hi Kurt! Thank you, and to your point, please note that I have no pretention as to be DRIVING this thing... Let's call George Poteet!

It's good knowing I'm not crazy, that others, or you in this case, think much like I do. I've got the same van kit, in planning a mid-engine, funny car like drag racing machine. But, thanks to you, I now have some aerodynamic body modification ideas for it. To me, these wild, endless possibilities, are what I like the most about model building. Hi Ken! Happy if it is "fuel for your projects". I build 1/1 cars for customers, and you are right: styrene offers endless "affordable" possibilities! Model on.

But thought you'd get a kick out of this mid-engine VW bus funny car. Like what was said, "the endless possibilities" of dreaming up creative engineering solutions and building "just realistic enough" fantasy dragsters, race cars, and sportscars got me hooked on modeling early on and kept things interesting. I enjoy the challenge of diving into the parts bin and coming up with enough fodder to build my next somewhat plausible creation. This happened when I put a chopped and sectioned 29-window body, reshaped, and relocated the wheel openings on a truncated top fuel chassis.
