Guitar Car

[tnomud]

Ok, I thought some might appreciate this. Many moons ago, I worked for a Tire Company, and a company that made performace parts. We somehow got roped into a charity event (March of Dimes IIRC). For this contest, we had to take a 12 foot long Fender Stratocaster and paint it to compete agains others. Well, since my friend any myself were both avid SCCA guys and kinda........."think outside the box" guys, we decided to build it into a car. We made it a tube frame, dropped in a 350 Chevy, made corde from Accel Spark Plug Wires, knobs from Hurst Shifters, and made it into a car....

It was a fullsize to scale model of a 350 Chevy. We took a mold for a block, and duplicated it out of plastic.

[redneckhatch]

Lol thats something different

[b17a1db2]

that is pretty neat. i know guitars usually have 6 strings or in this case spark plug wires. It has 8 cylinders, and 6 strings (plug wires). But it seems like i'd rather stick with this than 8 plug wires looking like the strings though.

[thesammy]

Yeah, we were on the fence for days about using 8 wires. Our logic was that most of the people looking at it would know more about guitars than V8's and went with 6.
