The pilots were the same two men who tried to sail a converted 1951 Chevy flatbed truck to the U.S. last year. Nine other Cubans, including wives and children, were intercepted by the U.S Coast Guard on Tuesday Feb. 3, 2004. (AP Photo/CBS4, HO)

i've got a friend with a 49 chevy truck with a olds toronado front wheel drive set up sitting under his bed and the really weird thing is the corvair suspension in the front. rear disc front drum. differnt yes but when he punches it the thing hooks so damn hard it can pull the front wheels on street tires.

 

OYVEY and i thought i was twisted!!
Went thru a ford v6 stage..into a 73 Mazda 808,and 808 wagon,
58 Anglia(still have it),back end of 67 beetle(still have the adapter!!) ,MG midget,
and SBF'D a 240Z,a 78 Volvo(short lived),a 67 Anglia(VERY short lived)windshield said aloha!
and a Mazda rotary in 57 MG for a friend(that one was fun!)
Had another friend that put a 500 Caddy into a 68 Olds(EEEE)
The 70's were good to me!!

 

A 500 Cadi in a Pontiac Feiro. The engine was still in the rear. Some guy was selling kits to do it at a local show.

 

270 Offy in a Triumph TR6- seen in Chicago in about 1979.
I've been waiting for days for the wife part of this post to start!

 

What about this puppy?
The wife had just crawled out of bed wandering what the noise was when I fired it up.

 

Nor car related, not built by me, but pretty radical all the same.
And they are built and ridden in Thailand!

 

How about this one,sorry, but again not car related, but with a 5 litre V twin it might have a slight appeal to some of you guys
The motor is the front two cylinders off the front of a V12 Merlin aero engine, 24 litres of it. And he dropped a blower on the top too!

 

The guy I bought a rolling chassis from a 46 ford four door was putting the body on a 80's Toronado FWD.

Also a local neck has a 65 Falcon Ranchero on a 4x4 chassis with Swampers - oooo eeeee!!!

 

I've got some friends dropping an Rx7 engine into a triumph spitfire...
