You got a rail Nick?
Not mine, I wish!
I want to see that thing run.
I know it wasn't yours but you are getting that magazine so I figured you had a rail.Quote:

I thought there was some one on another forum that has a VK56 buggy he built?
Yea, that would be my buddy Kurt. There's a video of it in the video section.
but its a rhino... LOL... sandrail, ya... truggy, ya.. some other dezert machine of substantial size ya... but a freeeakin' rhino??? definitely not my thing, lol... i'm sure she blows sand into glass but its just another example of someone with a lil bit too much money just throwing money at ridiculous projects.Quote:

Sweet jesus, the things I'd do for a machine like thatQuote:

I had (sold for medical bills) a 68 Gran Torino GT fastback that I was SERIOUSLY thinking of doing a VK w/tranny swap into it. It already had a 3.00 9" rear in it, all I would've needed was a custom driveshaft. If only I hadn't needed BOTH of those knee surgeries, lol....
Good idea! Bad execution! :)
