John…….Garlit`s ran a couple of Flatheads for different speed records……..I am building the one he ran with a 1950 Blown Flathead………he also built a Hemi for it to go over 300 MPH but,he never used it…….the Hemi and the blown Flathead engines sit on stands next to the Swamp Rat 33 display at the Garlit`s Museum ……..thanks

John... as usual brother this is looking killer and really starting to take shape. I am totally digging the tank and atraps for it. As well as the shifter that you scratch build. Keep up the great work, she is coming along mighty fine.

Hello…….thank you all very much for the kind comments……I really do appreciate them…… just a small up-date …….I needed to correct a few issues……..what I thought were batteries at the nose of the frame are weights………so I had to make some weights and a bracket……and mount a single battery on the side of the frame behind the driver……I also made an electric fuel pump……it`s not perfect but,you will barely see it anyway……..thanks for looking.

John... fantastic work Brother! The fuel pum and fuel filter look nice. The weight ballast and relocation of the batter look great. I really like your attention to all of the little details on this
