Ok, so it's not brand new.. we've been working on it for a little while now....








She's coming along quite nicely..
Chevy Small Block 6.6l V8
Hedderman Headers
PowerGlide 2 speed with transbrake.
MSD 6AL ignition with two stage limiter..

And all in a dirt floor workshop..



She's going to sound sooo lovely

does the third pic shows somebody with dislocated elbows or is the steering wheel a bit offset to the right?

that thing is going to go like of a shovel - but where are brakes? The steering? Or is this a dragstar?

Brakes come in the form of LARGE disks on the rear wheels and a 7ft parachute..

Steering.. well I wouldn't want to park it in a multi-storey.. that's for sure! but's it's enough for what we need!

And yes.. it will go like poo of a shiny shovel.

you appear to have purchased your spoiler from the same place as I got the one for my Chimaera after seeing Venom500's one

I'll admit that the spoiler uprights are somewhat.. interesting.. but it's there for a reason!


And there's ample space for Pistonheads stickerage on the wing too!
