Thanks for the link to the build on facebook. Super interesting stuff, I'm excited to see it come together. Won't all that torque twist the poor little fox body permanently?

Having watched this build from the start, I can say that a lot of the inherent chassis-flex issues have been addressed, even before the cage was added.

Bringing a true gentleman's Mercedes Benz 380SL (and Rosa Barks). Drag race is good.

I need some motivation. Your still gonna need gas.

Engine builder had to have surgery which has held up progress

Then he had the crank Nitrided twice, the second time a chunk broke off from the keyway, so a second, hand built, one of a kind, crank was turned and the Nitriding was done successfully on this one

The engine builder had the carb built to spec by the factory for my use, so expect it to take the turns well
