    Naw, it'll be OK, it's just for mock-up till he can find some fenders for that poor F-1. I hope.

    It likely doesn't matter as that is likely where the truck sits for the next 20 years.

    Somthing tells me that guy does'nt have the ability to finish his deathtrap. I like how one rail has a bajillon holes drilled into it and the other side does'nt.

    OH come on! he just didn't get to the lightening holes on the other rail yet ! and angle iron is already 1/2 the weight of box tubing looks like he was planning on building a really fast coffin

    Those aren't lightening holes, they're there for a MODULAR engine set up! This way, when he blows up one engine, he can place the motor mounts any where he wants to!

    He almost deserves to die in that thing, lets just hope he lives out in the middle of nowhere!

    naw, it's all good...he's engineered the thing to be able to flex instead of being rigid and breaking. by flex I mean like cooked noodles. maybe he just hasn't gotten around to adding angles to the opposing side to make a box tube frame??
