Bonneville Car 80% complete
« on: April 06, 2011, 07:08:49 PM »
This is a brand new vehicle that is approximately 80% complete.  The hard work has already been done!  Built to SCTA/BNI specifications, and has been pre-inspected by an official.  Built around a f86 jet fuel tank with 137" wheel base and is 17' overall.  Currently set up for a small block Ford with a 3-speed reverse locked out. 8" Ford rear end with 3.0 gear.  Includes tri-pod work stands that raise the vehicle to waist height.

With a motor and safety equipment this car should be at Bonneville and El Mirage this year!

Since it's 8ball's first post -- I'll ask if any off you folks out there in Forum-land know who this fellow is.  I get a bit wary of first-time posts that show up advertising a car - that's already being on eBay.

Would someone please fill me in?

SSS, I thought you had to do an introduction before posting on the boards?  Tony

Sometimes the last 20% is greater than the first 80%.
