I grabbed a couple because I have a feeling they might be fast. (Looks like I'm not the only one). Also in any case I figured that big chrome engine could come in handy in the future.

A little too much chrome IMO, that's why I painted the headers.

This Tundra holds the current 'Custom Import Truck' track record at KIR. It's been reworked as is even faster now!
Built this F40 to hopefully break the "Custom Import Car' track record currently held by a Lamborghini Estoque out of Florida.

oh, yeh ! ......i don't mind losing my track record to a rig that cool.... i here-by knight it ... "way 2 mad"
also being a way 2 fast racer... i would slightly narrow the headers... check with a straight edge against the front and rear wheels....
rubbing headers are kinda like draggin' a stick in your home made soap box derby car

i would slightly narrow the headers

I wonder if you could heat them and bend them up?

Aluminum flat bar. It's easier to file than steel!

Congrats Carl! Wow, that was a close race. Your little Honda looks good in yellow. What was the other car? I've seen that casting before, just can't remember what the heck it is.

Good luck tomorrow!
