 If you invented it, then you should get royalties from the Russians.

Glad you guys did well! Glenn's gasser was very cool, and so was Ken's truck. I though all the stuff inside the ELTA area was cool. Great to meet the guys that were there! My wife took pictures while I was yackin so I'm not sure what's on her iPad. I'll take a look. HRD

please don't be comparing grapes to apples there PeteBil - however that is a cool plane for sure - and i am sure that plane design doesn't go back to 1977 lololololololololol - so maybe they do owe me some royalties

no one has done this to a car/truck for hot rodding purposes

its hard enough to be original these days!! :)

these are some of my race truck on the internet, but not of my 62 Falcon sedan delivery from the 70s - pre internet and pcs lol

this is one of my trucks from way back when - with other mods too like the 6" chop, and the unitized box/cab - this truck was built back in about 92-93 if memory serves

this truck had many things on it no one had ever seen before like the only holley 6 barrel in existance that i built from scratch, and the still to this day only front drive 460 distributor, and the heads that pioneered the 1.88 2.20 valve set in a big block  ford head

Well excuse me for showing interest in this truck cry.  It just so happens that I DO build and I DO have "fresh ideas".  I have done virtually the EXACT same modification to a vehicle I own.  Here's a pic for those of you needing proof.  As you can see, in my case the end result wasn't quite what I was looking for but it was most certainly innovative biggrin.
