Danny is very nice guy, I always enjoy the time when I'm at his place in Colorado. Unfortunately, he lives on the end of the world - American Outback - but a view which is worth to live there.
To the Autolite and picture.
Yes I got a lot more (about 50) but there are all slides - this one are the digital I got - my batterie of the digital was totally down so there was only two.
Alright, some notes to the car and current status.
Correct, this car was original with a "wagon wheel" steering, like a "hearse" in 1880 - by the way the first Daimler car from 1886 - not the three wheeler Benz - was also with a wagon wheel steering - okay, Daimler was a little bit slower then Mickey.
Danny rebuild this steering to a proper axle steering. His comment to this old steering "Horroble.......nightmare.......not driveable.....".
Original the car runs two Ford 427, the rear was turbo charged.
Danny likes to use two aeroplane V8 engines, wonderful machines. He showed me picture of this engines.
Danny tried to get some sponsors like Coors and Bud, but no one was
interest.
He has to modify the frame of the car slidely - the original was a little bit weak - may be also affect from the steering. But this will happened when he got the engines in - once.
Otherwise the car is in great condition, he offers me to sit in, but I was not sure of the stand would hold the car properly, also the seat was occupied by cat's - I love animals so they could sleep thier siesta...
Today Danny's income comes from building of stainless steel fence, doors, housedoors and interior for the house like in the kitchen - and he is damn good in this.
Also sometimes he makes test drives, especially special crash simulations for new safety equipment.
See ya
