firehawk, I am building the "Bugatti" as a toy for my 8 yo son. He is now 22!!  I have recently divested myself of many projects and a couple of vintage cars and now have just 2 FJ's and the "Bug" which I will  finish just for the fun of it. The curved tail section was fashioned from the hood of a 50's Simca Aronde. It is powered by a Honda CT110 (Postie bike) motorbike unit, 4 speed / centrifugal clutch.
The FJ motor is simply stored there because I hate stuff on the garage floor. Don't think the obvious hasn't crossed my mind many times, I even made a mental note of all the things I would need to beef up to make it work.

DOOOOOOOO EEEEEEET !

Randy or Bob W. should have everything you need to get it hooked up............Mount the engine in the front (where it's supposed to be ) and away you go!
If I ever come down there, I wanna drive it! (sorry got a little excited)

I took an interest because I absolutely LOVE pre-war Bugatti race cars!

if you get it ready for the 013 rally, you could tow it up there behind the FJ
I have kleptomania,
but when it gets bad,
I take something for it.
