This sounds like a cool Idea but I don't think it will work. I will be impreesed when i see pics and a finished product. People talk about projects like this but never end up doing them. So lets ee some progess here. Give us some pics.

Move the fuel tank(or make it smaller) and you might have a chance!

thanx freeman.i have planned on it.or i would have a dragging gas tank and 30/70 weight ratio.



lets see some progress danno.dont think it will work.man that is ignorant.i just started break the car down last week.the transmission setup alone will cost around 10k,and your supposed to see progress within a couple of days?wow.even paying a shop to do it wouldnt get far in 3-4 days.remember this is a 1-2 yr project and i work on the car on the weekends.give it a rest.plus this was an idea thread.the real thread is my rotary ressurection thread.any progress will be put there.

I didn't mean that to be a negative coment. I think it is cool that your doing somthing different. And even cooler that your doing the work your self.

I just mean that I want to see that progress as you do this project. Sorry if you think I was puttig you down.

The reason why I don't think it will work is because I have seen people try things like this before and they end up throwing it all in th trash ecause they find a glitch in the project.

.......I give you huge props for taking a risk like this. Good luck!!!!
