Trabant, but not as we know it.

[Shelby 427 1965]

There's a few old Irish sayings out there - one of them is "Where there's a will, there's a Trabant with a V8 stuck in it."

Stay tuned.

Now that is different. If there is one thing I like it's different. Carry on !

A hot Ford motor in the plastic bomber? I love it!

Man, did those cars stink when driving behind one in traffic!

Put some tires on the back of that thing and turn it on!

Really cool idea, looking forward in seeing this build proceed!

[1930fordpickup]

Good idea.

Gonna need some room for a radiator, but otherwise it's a great idea.

Cool project. That looks like the 1/24 scale 289 from Revell/Monogram's '66 Shelby. I love that engine but am AMT 1/25 scale 289 might be an easier fit. Either way killer start.

nice start...that motor is gonna rip that tin can apart!

Interesting project, it would certainly get past Checkpoint Charlie quicker than a standard Trabbi ....

That's what happens when people put the photos on this site. They fill out the small amount of space given, then have to delete the photos to put on new photos. So all of their threads look like this!
