You had me at slot mags and white letter tires, but the Continental kit seems to prefer some form of highly chromed hubcaps and wide whitewall.

Going through the EAA Sport Aviation yearbook for 1983, I'm seeing things common to me, in what would have been the first time for anyone. The first retractable Glasair, the first Hummelbird, ultralights, Rutan's creation of Scaled Composites. Then I get to Tsunami...

Patrick Bedard wrote a column once about being at Chrysler as a junior engineer when they were working on that car.  He designed a lovely light wing, and his boss said "This is for a damn stock car! Make it sturdy as hell."

In reply to Appleseed :

Unfortunately lost in a crash while landing.  I believe it was a the result of only one flap going down (!).

They are attempting to rebuilt it.  Pretty sure they are not working with a lot of original parts!
