Some photos of a 30-year dream come true:    I would like to thank my father, Larry McDonald, and my friend Norman Steinman for providing the inspiration for this dream. I found it to be a 6-year project that required dedication and thought. I also want to thank my wife Cindy for putting up with my "addiction". |

Thanks for the comments. The motor is a SBC with alum. heads and high rise intake with a healthy cam. I made the motor adapter and fly wheel to connect to the trans. All the work was done by myself except for the paint job. (I don't do paint.) |

Looks nice but it needs a 5 or 6 bottom plow and then the wheel won't fit in the furrow so you'll have to set it up to run on land. LOL

I like the black frame rails with the chrome bolts. That make her look mighty thought. You have done a boat load of work and I don't mean to affend, but maybe a roll cage could/should be added?

Is it safe to assume you have converted to foot brakes? Hand brakes would be too exciting on the track.
That is a very nice machine! I like the name you have given her, too.
Excellent work. ------------- If it weren't for the last minute, I wouldn't get anything done! |
