A Frame made of Electrical Conduit - Sam Wheeler Story

[Uncle Jimbo]

Here is my brothers latest
Bonneville Stories Part XIII the Sam Wheeler Story has been released on YouTube.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14oKfMNBIvg

Sam Wheeler built his first streamliner in 1961 at the age of 18 .  After that Sam’s need for speed would have to wait.  He was drafted and sent to Viet Nam.

“I found myself thinking, if I ever get out of here alive, I’m going to build another streamliner.”

He did and the rest is history.

 If you have a Bonneville Story and would like to share it, call brother Lou, we'd love to hear it.

Great video, says it all.  If someone doesn't understand after seeing this they never will.

Thanks to everyone for puting it together and posting the link.

Imerged the two topics inito this one -- under the Bonneville general chat heading.  No need to have both Bville and Bub's.  Hope I don't cornfuse too many folks this way.

I like Sam's 8" SP as much as "easy hook"
