The shirts and goodies will be after the car is painted and lettered so it all looks right! Here's some of my latest shirt artwork so you guys will know how crazy it'll be when "Breaking Wind"!

Killer build!

What's going to power it> I didn't see that in the thread
With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly overhead. -- RFC 1925

You can't make a race horse out of a pig. But if you work hard enough at it you can make a mighty fast pig. - Bob Akin

Thank you! It'll be 1000cc's of something! I'm still pondering what I'll use, but in the meantime I'll keep gluing stuff together!

Yep, that's me! When I'm not doing pinstriping and lettering or building stuff, I'm doing shirt artwork. I do all sorts of goofy things!

Bitchin' art work Brad! Jack of all trades, I see.  :cheers:

Great artwork...



I'll have to add for anyone not familiar with the truck on the shirt.... "do not walk along side of one of these trucks when they are loaded".  That might not be dirt in the foreground by the truck  :-D,

Nothing goofy about what you do. That's awesome work. :cheers:

Got the swingarm brackets welded up and tacked on the chassis this afternoon.

Tell Slim I'd be more than happy to help him on his shirt artwork! On a side note, I also did the artwork for the High Desert Racers...

Started building the rear suspension yesterday! Got the swingarm put together and all the inside welding done (I do the crap that nobody sees!) and the axle mounts tacked up. I welded caps on the axle end of the swingarm to keep the salt out and will cover the top, bottom and front with .100 plate to seal everything up and so it'll have ZERO flex!
