    Spotted this on the side of the strip during the Grand Run last weekend. I thought it was really cool...and outta my budget to reproduce. Just curious if anyone here had built it and wanted to share the details.

    Who ever built it definitely has some Steve Tansy genes.

    Man that things cool. I know Dave Shuten is building one of the Bug Zingers. I don't know who built the 57.

  20. Thats cool. Reminds me of this (not hamb friendly) Mustang with an 1100ci Sherman Tank DOHC All Aluminum 32-valve V8. The video makes me pee myself.

    I know Guffey and Moriarty know about these things. Surely one of them knows who owns this one. Hell, it may be one of them....

    Man, that's cool as hell. I remember seeing a couple of the Zingers at a car show when I was a kid. I don't know about all of them, but I saw the Vette actually DRIVE off the trailer! Brings back some memories, for sure.
