I think the bulk of thew money went into Chrome moly and carbon fiber :D

I can;t wait to see what that thing does in shakedown. I will be real curious how the dual carbs work

Should be able to catch him at Milan, Columbus, and maybe Norwalk. He is also talking about coming over here for a day ;) Lot's of shakedown on that new combo, but it should be SWEET when sorted out.

Please stop posting cars like this. Every time I see one it makes me want to scrap my project plans for something different

**PaxtonShelby** · 12-26-2009, 10:09 PM

Wow - that has to be a hoot...

I hope he ditched the stock fuel tank for a fuel cell...

Different is good :D At some level, I'm really considering blow through carb as the set-up for my Pinto. We will see how the new Capri combo works before making a final decission ;)

That would be the big black tank in the nose. Seems like I would rather have it in the back on a drag car :D

**phillysrt4** · 12-26-2009, 10:56 PM

either way that thing is going to fly!

**AdamantiumSilvr** · 12-27-2009, 01:01 AM

If I was that close, I would be using Fred as an engine builder :D I'm a good distance from him and he will probably do my next shortblock :D

BTW - I have not heard of him doing much with the Pinto lately. They are running those pro-stick races pretty serious with the Probe.
