Never enough front turbine threads...  

I know I swore I would never make another one after building my original one so long ago. Then Big Wave Dave offered me a deal I could not pass up.  Okay then I swore again that I would never build another one.

Well two guys asked me to do it again and again.  Yep two more will be heading out soon.  I still have to sand these, do the final bodywork, (special) paint, and then assemble them. 

I hope to have them ready to ship this week.

Yes that is an electric fan motor and the 16 gage steel blades will spin.  I still think it's nuts but the owners wanted them to spin.  Disclaimer: They will require a resistor or something to slow them down.  There is no guard over the blades so don't get any fingers close when it is operating.  Not intended for use as a cooling fan and should not be run for long periods of time.  Only quick short burst to show that they spin....  Yeah I still think it's nuts..

You make the front and back of the car so well. Now if you would just make that pesky middle part, it would be one stop shopping for all the 89' lovers

Thanks...

Hee hee I do a pretty mean side mechanics and dash... ???  Seriously I really need to stop doing so many side jobs and work on my can.  I really do enjoy helping other with their, especially when they are nice enough to share their progress pictures.  You know I live for pictures.  Without pictures its just talk. 

Wait until next weekend....
