currently a functional ...yet impractical vehicle.

But moves under its own power.
Right now~! Ready to be the most awkward looking thing at SEMA 2017!
*anyone need a booth car?*

this new hybrid chassis / drive-line platform was conceived for me to incorporate / explore / and develop different technologies with ease into the distant future.

Shooting for track ready before Jan 1 2018

Attempting to recycle everything I could from the 9C1..
the factory ebrake pedal and release was used on the Datsun.
Well, it did not work that great in forum or function
So a 3rd Gen Camaro Ebrake handle was in order!



Beginnings of the Body Panels starting to lay out
Getting things level and straight is a chore
trying to make a clean sexy defined Horizon / Body line is difficult to obtain with my vision and direction for the body.

Okay I'm Not The Only One Wants To Know

- What year tank did you get to fit?

:
.-functional Homdepot / CTSV pump and tank combo
.
.

And of course it's functional, if only to antagonize errone on that Datsun forum.

The first time that sees the track I bet there's 20 stop strips thrown in your path. Keep up the good work.

Hi ole buddy. This is Ida from the old Cali-ss group. I post under azbob even though he is no longer with us. He lost his battle with cancer on July 4th.
I have his old 95 Impala race car for sale. Still in the work in progress state but almost done, just really minor things. If you know anyone that would like an Impala race car send them my way. I need to get this car sold. I have a detail sheet and some photos I can send.
The complete car package includes a 26' Enclosed trailer and many extra parts, if I don't sell them first.
Nice to talk with you again.
