Works on the principle of evaporation of water and air movement (ram effect). Designed to hang at the top of a partially open window, probably wouldn't work on your roadster very well.Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

Yes it does, I have Air Speed bookmarked on my computer... I have been following the Hebrod build for a while and talked some with the builder... What an awesome Hot Rod... I will definately be using a few of his ideas on my build...
Just an update on my project... Bought this nice set of 35 Ford wires the other day...

I really like this VW look, found on VolksRODS.com
I need to put this tunnel ram SBC under the hood, ahhhhh, trunk lid.
Right after I finish my '50 Stude Retro-Rod.

I'd like to make a stude amphibious some day. Front end is like:
begging for it..
Education is expensive. Keep that in mind, and you'll never be terribly upset when a project goes awry.

I love the whole look of the brown bug. He really did a fantastic job on all the elements.

I read an article years ago stating that the VW Beetle is the only known vehicle that was completely designed/engineered by one person. That person was infact Dr. Ferdinand Porsche. Originally Posted by Bob Parmenter

Looks like someone done squashed a bug!!!
Kustom Coach Does some good work... I also like the Volksrod that was on the cover of VW trends a couple of months back that they put together...

As I've gotten older the excitement is just figuring out how to "Gitter Done" is what counts. I thoroughly enjoy your posts with the details of how you figured out the steps to not just get it done,...
