v8 sand rail

[flatheadgary]

when i was a we lad, i went to the sand dunes. most of the things running were very crude with just a car frame, seats and a drivetrain. there was a few nice rails too. i liked the rails. well, i got older and haven't went back since. i imagine it was the distance for a young kid and when i was older, i was more into drag racing. back around the '80's a guy sold me 4 huge sand tires and rims and i have been thinking about building something like this ever since.

Dude that thing is awsome, id build it, you always have the coolest things to build, great job

[flatheadgary]

josh, ya i have a lot to build. i seriously doubt if i will live long enough to build them all. to give you an example. this weekend is our organizations drag race (ANRA) at Formosa. well my brother is coming an his son's family is coming from northern Calif. i know i have said this before, he is giving me a vw body shell. now i will have to build one of those vw cars i have built in 1/25th into a 1-1. the trouble is, i have built so many, i don't know which one to build. he has 2 more bodies for me too.

My dad built a rail out of a car back in the day. I think the car was a rusted out '56 chevy. So a Rail and a Car can be the same thing. Don't know if it would count as a rail since it was just a '56 he took the body off of, but thats what he called it. He said he ended up cutting out the frame in the middle and shortened the car up to the point where it only had a 9 inch long driveshaft, lol. He did some donuts with it and measured the diameter of the circle, but forget the exact length.
