Hopefully some one on this site (Mike ?) will post the pictures that I just looked at on The Hamb, under the heading "Kent Fuller needs photoshop help".
With all the high dollar Streamliner's being built it is nice to see what a true craftsman for the past fifty years has accomplished with very little help or money.
This car puts new meaning to the term "Low and Slippery".
It deserves a spot next to Marlo's in the Smithsonian. Bob

I "snipped" this from the HAMB site and as you can see it is typical Kent Fuller, outside the box thinking and nice. It will be fun to see this car in inspection as it is formed from 10 gauge plate (.134 thickness) and is monocock, i.e. no frame and I am not sure what Kent has done in the drivers compartment area regarding a roll structure. Sure hope to see him at Bonneville. I do see him at the Tuesday "Hot rod lunches" at Fred Stokes once and a while, I'll ask him what the schedule looks like.

Thanks for the pictures. Was wondering how it was going. Looks great. Can't quite see where the driver is located.

Again. My third try with this post.Why isn't it less of a hassel to repost?
-
I also linked these goodies down in the LSR general chat (an unessesary section that should be scrapped Slim) to an older thread. VERY cool progress. :cheers:

Is this an RC car? Or maybe a tether car...

another periscope car? nice looking work, anyone know when he plans to race it.

I believe they intend to run it this year. Nice chat yesterday, I appreciate the tips. Dad still had to ask me why I am doing this as we cooked those BBQ ribs. They were good, you would approve.

Will the rules let you run without any side vision, looks like just the front window?
Cool looking liner.

Who can fit in that needle, Slim? Hes the right shape, long and lean. That is one awsome looking liner.

I wonder if THAT's who's been calling and leaving those "Please return this message" messages? :?
-
It has side and rear vision with mirrors built into the canopy, I am tolde.

I agree a nice car! Another question would be what association will let it run? I think he can run it under FIA rules perhaps at cooks meet or buy private time @ Bonneville?

Where can one find more build pics, or did I miss that?

Rick, unfortunately FIA isn't particularly kind to Flatheads as far as classes go. :roll: Wayno

I know but no other association likes periscopes plus I don't think it meets the role cage rules.
at least running FIA he could run the car.
-
To my understanding, the periscope is for rear and side vision. The wind screen shown in post #8 is for forward vision. Don't know about roll cage. Don't see much.

Hello!
It's so wonderful to see the interest in Kent Fuller's streamliner through this thread. I just wanted to offer you all an update, and ask for a little help as my grandfather moves into the final phases of his project. We plan to run at Bonneville this August, and your support will be HUGE in bringing this dream to fruition.
I will be launching a Kickstarter campaign in Kent's name mid-March to raise the funds to put the finishing touches on the liner, and if you don't mind passing along the link to friends who might be interested, please do. I will post the Kickstarter link to this thread as soon as the site goes live. Just wanted to get you all in the loop as early as possible.
Thank you so much, in advance, and if you have any questions regarding the project, please feel free to send them my way!
Best,
Jenna

How fortuitous that I just happen to be heading to Bonneville this August.
Look forward to seeing this in person and catching up with my old friend, Mike Bishop. Mike... hello... where are you? :)

Well... in my defence. I have been to Lake Bonneville before, but it was December and it was well... a LAKE! :)

As it happens, my back fence neighbor will be the driver. He has been drafted into making the car legal for SCTA-BNI in order to get the ride.
The car has been looked at by several tech people and suggestions made. Andy, my neighbor, has started the required mods. In fact just last Wed. he was cutting some tubes, the angle grinder jumped and he cut two fingers and a tendon. Thats the way lsr people do.
Andy, Jan, Joanie and I will be at the Gas Up in case anyone has questions. The car is now in Canga Park, CA. Across the street from Ron Main who has generously offered all the flathead support he can.
Check the post by Jenna, Kent's grand daughter for team info.
Stay tuned,
DW
