LOL, That is so awesome, i need to stop watching you, Conrad, Chilebean, and lets not for get Dave building these Tumblers or sooner or later i am going to catch the sickness, and want to build one too. I can already hear my wife...."(sigh) you have too many projects as it is!" (crosses arms and smiles)

| On a seriously joking scale of things, i did consider making a Tumbler about the size of a Geo Metro. for those of you who are unlucky enough to know the cars i'm talking about. Put a 2800 V6 in it, and use the 33 inch tires of my 4x4 on it. Thought it would be cool.

| Hey Shaggy, You'll need to excuse my ignorance but you've some pretty cool drawings there. Did you make a 3D CAD model? And... sadly...YES... i've been bitten by the tumbler bug. I can see absolutely NO logical reason why I should want, yet I seem to persist in my drawing and toying with the idea of building it from the ground up. I recently purchased a book on mid mounted engine cars to see if I could gain any insights into another builders knowledge. Which I must say is an interesting read. But even he says its not a good use of your time building something you cant actually drive everyday... But Im guessing a lot of you here would disagree. Brad.

| Not a problem, sadly no i didnt make them, i recieved them in a packet someone sent me several months back in a folder of 1,000+/- Tumbler pictures, including screen shots. Here are the other pictures like that, maybe they will help you out in the long run. 
OH, and i talked to my wife yesterday while trying to apply for a Mastercard, and jokingly meantioned the idea of building the tumbler. And she said "thats fine, it think it would be cool, BUT you gotta finish your other projects FIRST." Thats not her EXACT words, but it was on those lines. I was shocked!
