You can also strip the cloth jacket from parachute cord, slip over regular insulated wire, and get the look of cloth covered wire.

Sweet ride

Anybody else read the timeslip? 11.72 / 132mph, I'm Impressed.

Sweet! Maybe in the future an intake/carb change would be cool (if you’re like most guys you’re always tinkering) . You could make a manifold and run some crazy carb combo on such a big motor.

Fantastic all it needs is a nice coat of paint

Correction. Trunk lid has 114 louvres in it. I counted 'em.

[@thomastaylor2450]

too bad your camera isn't as good as that car, it's junk. love that very cool engine!

[@Baribrotzer]

I wonder how it compares in weight to the monster American LaFrance lump. Like this one, it's a flathead V-12 - but with a weird sideways version of the flathead layout, halfway between L-head and OHV. It's a 527 rather than a 460, and is said to weigh some 1,000 pounds.

Old guys can still do badass

That's. Head turner for Shur. How could 2 dummies give thumbs down.

@ Old School - Unfortunately, we cannot give out Bob's personal information on here, however, if you have a message you would like to pass along, we can certainly do so for you.

This is what hot rodding was REALLY about from its start. Guys using thier individual ingenuity and imagination to make their rod their way. And in doing so cause, either directly or by the stimulus they exert on car makers or specialty equipment manufacturers, a long line of innovative advances which, in time, have benefited all car owners in on many levels of new car designs.

Well done, not cookie cutter.
