Does anybody know good seller of lexan? )  :cheers:
My sponsor sells Lexan and if you send accurate templates I can help you for sure. I think the price would be good as well. Mike.
What kind if thick do you use 1/16" , 1/8" , 3/16" or 1/4" ?

   1/8 Lexan is pretty easy to work with, and is also stronger than it looks. Still it's flexable enough to bend around curved areas.

We used 1/8" Lexan.

Cool build, I'll look for it, if you're going to make the salt this year!
With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly overhead. -- RFC 1925

Maybe there is no Heaven. Or maybe this is all pure gibberish. The product of a demented hill billy who has found a way to live out where the winds blow. To sleep late, have fun, drink whiskey, and drive fast on empty streets with nothing in mind except falling in love or getting arrested.    H.S. Thompson

You know, looks maybe good, but our engines sucks =(( it's really truck... us big blocks are more beautiful! It was experience and now it's finished. Only US parts - only hardcore =)

ZZ, may I respectfully disagree?

I understand the American Hardcore vibe you're looking to achieve - you're work is excellent, and you do it very well - but you are in a position to really take the whole game in a new direction on an international stage.

I could easily see a 7.7 liter ZIL engine out of a 4104 modified and put into something like these

That could be something never done before.

Rather than following the trends, you could really start one!

Imagine any one of these sedans with a chop and a big Russian rumble.

I'm looking forward to meeting you on the salt, and I'm enjoying watching the progress here.

Good idea of course, but no... I don't want to change history and make a new culture, no... And our russian engines are so bad... Our racing history is dead and i don't want to be a pioneer who will grow up it, it's a lot of money for nothing.
You can see a few shots of our last moscow exebition - race car theme

And the lady on the car doesn't look like the stereotypical Russian lady -- babushka, hunched over, no teeth, etc. :-D :-D

You must not be shopping at Russianbrides.com to find your stereotypes... put away that book about Russian labor camps... you know lots of the ladies that work at the Wendover Casinos are ex-Eastern Blockers.

What car?


     Nothing like keeping a build in proper perspective!
