While this is not aviation, it germane, and thought you may be
interested.
This is a new street rod built by Arnie Karp, who is a funny car drag
racer.
Built by himself, (not from a kit), he chose to use complete running
gear from an RX-7.
His main reason was the engine's profile would not disturb the clean
Fiat lines.
He narrowed the rear to suit, and the car is just beautiful.
In talking with him, he is interested in installing a rootes type
blower
on it as well.
I will pass this site on to him, so he may pose questions from those
who
may have some experience in that area.
BTW, did anyone spot Dave Atkins "sleeper" at OSH this year?
It is an RX-7 that one would not give a second look. (until you pop the
hood).
