DannyBoy Streamliner crew soon to be Hard at Work
« on: January 01, 2010, 12:25:12 PM »
Ed Tradup had a good Christmas.  I have noticed that He got several things for Christmas and all are in the shop.
1.  A new big Band Saw
2.  A tubing notcher
3. Several dollies to move things around
4. A jerrico transmission core
5. A plastic dummy motor for set up
 6. A 20 plus foot very large I beam.
I think something is going on.  There will be more later.

Brian, build diary's take almost as much time as the build itself.

I am learning. You have been warned.

Frued: You know I was thinking about that.  You guys are the experts.  We will have some some updates and pictures now and then but nothing like you guys are doing thats work. Thanks for the warning.

It is going to be 4 wheel drive and two engines.  WE are planning on picking up the tubing in Portland when we go to the NW Reunion.  Along with a new dyno that Socci got.  He had a good Christmas also.

Four wheel drive and two engines, this is getting to be a recurring theme here! Looks like there is going to be a need for a 400 club! What color for the hat?

Do you guys plan to uses a shape similar to your existing car?? Probably one of the very best aero shapes on the salt. Keep us posted.

I'd vote for no hat at all -- but windswept hair blown straight back, and squinty eyes to keep the salt out of them.

Okay, back to you, Brian.  See you in Portland?
