[DeTomaso] NPC- Multi Engine Hot Rods and Land Speed Record Cars

[Mad Dog Antenucci]

I love Monster Garage.  I saw a couple episodes of "Monster Garage" where Jesse and a team built back to back cars, one  for Silver State and the other for Bonneille. They didn't set any records but I was impressed by the talent he had on the shows.
 
He had a team master race fabricators to do the job but they only have 7 days to get it done. They strip the doner cars down to frame, kick ass for 7 days  and if they complete the build and the cars run they get $3 grand worth of MAC tools.    I want to donate someone's Pantera so let me know if you want to volunteer to be on the show ;-]>

I love to go to large car shows to see both great specimens of history and
to see what unique concepts people do with cars.  Every year, I hit the
Moultrie GA swap meet the weekend before Thanksgiving and the Turkey Run in
Daytona FL the weekend right after Thanksgiving.  A few years ago at the
Daytona show there was a truck with and extended frame and twin V8s end to
end.  The guy tied the flywheel of the front motor to the front balancer of
the second with a short shaft.

This truck was cool, though not on the topic.  You are looking at the front
of the truck.  In the back (where the cab is) there are wheelie bars and the
entire cab is installed facing the other direction.
