This car was built here in Cedar Rapids - what do you think?






This Belly tanker is unlike any I have ever seen before. The details on this car are truly remarkable. The workmanship is beautiful. It runs a 4 cylinder Toyota HEMI motor and everything inside is vintage WWII bomber equipment. Even the "airspeed" is the speed of the car on the road.

What do you guys think it will bring when it crosses the block on Saturday?

Eddies did the work on my '57 Buick and are doing some stuff for me on my Camaro right now.

A "streetified" version of a dry lakes/B'ville racer. Different, for sure. A friend has just finished a BellyTanker he hopes to take to B'ville this year: rear-engined GMC 302 inline 6.

HEY! Now I happen to think I have nice eyes - So there!

And the next time the military accidently drops a laser guided bomb on your house...think of Cedar Rapids and Rockwell Collins!

And our town smells like Captain Crunch at least once a week!

I used to love Captain Crunch. But I suppose now they make pepsi there or something because last time I was in town I saw a huge pepsico sign on the factory...

Pepsico purchased Quaker Oats for Gatorade - they are leaving the cereal side of it alone - so we get our Crunch berries every Thursday.
