Now that is one cool pic......

 

If I’m seeing this right……..it doesn’t work very well.

 

I like the red one, and the purple one. The other ones got a little weird. Now I can't remember his name. Oh wait, here we go.

The black one, the Blue one, and the maroon one he can keep, I'll take the other 3.

 

Yeah, sez has hardly been driven.....overpowered fork lift.

 

That's why they're in an "UNUSUAL ROADSTERS" thread.

 

Those straight 8 look so cool.

 

What in tarnation?

 

I think he nailed the straight eight engine detail.

 

I think you just nailed a good name for it.

 

Wasn’t Dave Gale the guy that did the fab work on these. He was a really an innovative craftsman on another level!

 

Jim Anthony did this one.^
Dave Gale did the purple 23, the maroon 27 and this one.....and yeah fantastic workmanship.

 

I'm thinking of building a roadster for the grandkids to putt around the yard, maybe 1/2 scale, using a Continental engine from a welder. It won't need much horsepower.

Maybe something like this..

 

Ohh ...My!

 

All of these cars come from the imagination of Steve Grimes, designer extraordinaire. We worked at the same place back in the 80's. He can design anything. Jim Anthony worked there also. One of the best welders I've ever seen.

 

Cool. Yep.....Jim Anthony, Dave Gale, Pat Brewer and Zack Sikola all helped Steve with the welding on various cars in the collection.
