  6. Congrats to you guys. Have it ready for '06. If my math is correct, the HAMB will have four tanks there then :)

    That thing looks REALLY straight. What's the history on it? War surplus, or found abandoned on an old base, or..? What kind of airplane was it set up for?

    WAY cool project. You guys always have something neat brewing.
     

  16. Just an Ebay score. Loupedal may have more info for you.

    Update:
    We have been doing a ton research and working with some very experienced Lakes Racers (who each have a red hat) to make sure we don’t go out and ‘lay an egg’. We are going to lengthen the tank to accommodate a transmission and build a chrome molly tube ch***is. A Liberty transmission and the big Winters Quickchange will be used. We are going to do the initial set up and shake down runs with a SBC for ease of attaining parts. After that (it may take a couple of years), we plan on using a vintage engine of some sort to go for a record.
