    It should be rule, every HAMB member has to have a single seater, so we can run around in swarms like hornets har***ing Toyotas and livestock. Gary

    Look at all that F'ing ROOM! Most excellent.
    GREAT to see you back in the saddle!!! The 3 Amigos ride again!
    (Just watch out for splinters from that pressure treated- put on your Kevlar undies!)
    Car looks better and better, Mon Ami.

    Very clever use of the parts Koolkat. Perhaps a Aluminum Cap/Head rest to follow in the upper fender void?

    I love how you've already allotted for a gas filler opening on the left rear of the fuselage(cause it's gonna fly).

    Man that car is awsome. Those modified wings are a stroke of genius
    If I ever steal the idea, forgive me
