    With 2 motors, this car will have to be a rigid design. Is there a chance anyone might say anything about the brake lever attached to the rear axle housing anywhere you go?

    This car will undoubtedly get major attention everywhere it's seen. This could become a magazine article!

    I only plan on events like our Eagle Field Drags (I have some pull:D), the Billetproof Drags in Washington, and the HAMB Drags. Everyone else don't get it:rolleyes:

    and that's a shame, but I bet they get more than you think if you got this jewel where it could make some exhibition runs with a little tire smoke and some exhaust flame.
    If the economy was right, you might even be able to go to part time at work and do a little traveling.

    Yea, I'm central time and already been up a couple hours ago. Guess I better stop daydreaming and get back to work. But thanks for putting my daydream on the HAMB Toymaker. Wish I was there. Tom S.

    SLOOOOOOOW but sure:D We're getting there! Working on the Driver Controls and have the Brake Rod fabbbed and the VW Steering Box layed out, needing some gussets and the Cowl Steering Shaft support before I can check it of my list. Only have about a week to get it ready (fingers crossed) for some 300' test runs on the 8th!

    The car has brakes now and things are looking up! Lets see Steering support, Steering "Drop Arm", Drag Link, Clutch Pedal install and cable brackets, Seat, Seat Belts, Throttle, Gas Tank, Mount Battery, Oil Drain Back holes in heads, wire it up, and a Belly Pan and I should have the MINIMUM requirements covered!
