Actually the car is a 1200. Weighs nothing, goes like stink.

Yup, I've seen that car. As Bruce noted, it's a 1200 (Sunny). Watch how the thing leaps off the line...

Rob,

I live in the Granite Bay area off Auburn-Folsom Road. I know not your typical GB resident that pays someone to do things for them. If you liked my Garage project check out what my wife and I are helping our son rebuild then build a similar garage.

Dave, great to see this was already done to a Z. I just think the home brew cars will show folks that there are options other to move cars other than sucking down hydrocarbons.
