    If I wasn't in the current project, this would be on my radar.
    Just like rods, buying someone else's stalled project is a great way to get in.

    IMHO Seems like it needs more motor like a BBC or at least a tunnel ram or blower stinking out the hood! Now like sheep in wolfs clothing :confused:

    These are fun! You can't image how quick a car can be with only just over 100 horses, but they only weigh 1000lbs! It needs a manual trans, though

    @squirrel likes building his own stuff. It is pretty close to the 10 seconds for 10K though!
    Just a little over budget, which most of them are.
    Vice Grip Garage bought a race car and drove it home in one episode. He didn't look too comfy.
    I bet it gets fewer ' Nice Dune Buggy" comments than a T-Bucket.

    Yep, another T-Bucket.
    Has nice straight spoke Americans, and that sure looks like a Dodge or other touring front half. Last pics show it apart.
