This is actually made by a Filipino. Also its using a GTR chassis including its engine.
 
Hmm, a Peugeot hot rod... I really want to see that finished, I really do. It's been hacked beyond recognition, but perhaps it could become something unique (and good, mind you)...
 
It's got the makings of a fixed-roof lakes streamliner, that's what I like about it. As I said, I hope it's a project and wasn't intended to be driven as-is.

They had these old race cars lined up like a starting grid, then started up all the engines. Quite the audio experience.

And a blast from the past. Can anyone name the supercharger? (I dropped a huge hint by saying it's a supercharger. ;))

There's a Mustang for everyone in that picture, huh? Not a bad set of Mustangs, either. That 2015 GT could've done without the color it has though, I've seen better combinations... But good post, nonetheless.

I was gonn a say Mc Culloch but not, that thing is round and lumpy. I can't for the life of me remember what that thinjg is called. Or maybe it's a later version of the thing, I do remember the round ones were for Flatheads, but I don't recall ever seeing a later version of the thing wih side-draft induction. Custom manifolding?

It's a Latham axial-flow supercharger (works like a turbine but with the front of the shaft driving the impellers). There were options for existing single 2-barrel or single 4-barrel manifolds, hence their presence on a wide variety of engines.

..Meh. I'd say questionable but, I don't know. I'm used to seeing this on a mustang and not minding at all, but I don't think this feels right for the Challenger, just my opinion.

AH, YES!!! A Latham! I swear I knew this :lol: I always remember these because of this car:

Jimmie Vaughan's '61 Cadoo with a Latham-blown 500ci Cadoo mill. It wears pie-crust rear slicks. So delicious I want to lick it all my life.
 
The third gen Camaros and Corvettes have really been growing on me the last couple months. Seeing the post on the last page...hhhhhot
