Anyone read Sand Sports mag? There is a write up and a rhino, more like a buggy that has a vk56 in it.

I know it wasn't yours but you are getting that magazine so I figured you had a rail.

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.

I bet he has atleat 60K in it. And it only has 10" of rear travel!

for that money i'd rather buy an Eleanor replica and stuff a VK56 in it and race it around town smoking cars left and right and instead of being gone in 60 seconds i'd be gone in 4.5 seconds flat!!! LOL

Agreed....

For the amount of money he dropped into that thing. He could have a fully functional sandrail that pushes the envelope everytime he turns the keys. I like rhinos but honestly that thing looks like a deathtrap. Not enough tubing for me around the driver/passenger.

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....
