I'm sane! I'm sane! I'm sane! I'm sane!
I now have proof.
For some of us that live close the border proof is required now and then of just which side we lay on.
I had a similar machine 2/3 built when I was about 15 years old. 327 Chevy, Crosley rear and trans, frame made from an old crop cultivator. Was sitting beside it one day contemplating how to steer it and Dad said, You cant be from me and be that stupid,,,,
I tore it apart and put the motor in a Chevy Nova. Later on a friend and I put a big motor in a bone stock 66 Chevelle.. bolted on some big slicks and it went 9.90 at 135 mph first time down the quarter mile. We got our butts chewed but good by track personnel and they said dont come back until we had an 8 point roll bar and met minimum safety standards for that time and speed. And they gave us a rule book, lol.
Stupid? Insane? The rail birds can and do judge. , what we did was fun, I lived through it, kept us out of the bars and (mostly) out of trouble.
Who said that machine had one garden tractor part in it beside the hood?? Did i miss something?
Looked pretty stable at speed to me. If I was 25 again and had the chance Id be on it!!!
