It Takes a real "WAGENETTE" to CUT ONE UP!

paint by number

This is the original "napkin sketch" of the SPEEDWAGEN, now we need a paint scheme! What do you think would look fast?

the BIG DOGS

This is the squadron of GM 2.0 Echotech racers. They have hopped up their naturally aspirated ride, with nitros and E-85. This got them a fuel record. They tried some pump gas, but they didn't bust the 152 record. Thats the one the Speedwagen is building for (G/GCC). The HHR crashed, but the driver walked away AOK. These are some mean little machines.

road trippin

This is Jim Linders old ride, the Gizzmo hang'in on the window is a ---do you know? Here is real big one!http://66.34.72.138/gallery/section/image/11247.JPG

CARB-A-RU

How about this as a street motor set up? Get rid of all the electronics, put on a Holley set up (a couple down draft webers would really be nice) hook up a mag or distributor, and presto change-O its some old school motorin

VolksCast Radio Visit

We had a visit this evening from Ray Iddings, the "VOICE" of VolksCast Radio. We had a good time motor mouth'in about the Speedwagen and land speed racing. And to top it off he loaned us a trick BERG shifter that he got from Clyde,as a gift. We hope to get some salt plus a world land speed record on it for him. I'm not sure I followed the mounting directions correctly. I better read them over. Check out VolksCast Radio on Tuesday night for a show about the Speedwagen (how stink'in cool)http://www.richchristensen.com/radio/volkscast.php

VolksCast Radio

This is our late enrty into the VolksCast Radio photo contest. This is the Dash of the corrosion test lab. It has a root that has grown into the car, and across the dash. We might list this on ebay as a custom wood dash kit.

Speedwagen "BRAINS"

The "BRAINS" for the Speedwagen is a LINK engine management module. The Buggy guys use these a lot. They have a PLUS module that has more "handles" on it for more sophisticated tuning. If this doesn't get-r-done, then Santa can bring us a Modec! (and a Dyno) . Check out the old guy gang sign on the noggin above.

Indiana Patina

Bugs are on the endangered species list in Indiana. Rust has insomnia in this part of the country. We have our corrosion lab set up in back of the Speedwagen Motor Werks. This specimen has the ultimate rat patina. This is what we call Hoosier Metal Flake!

How low can U go

Wageneer LOW-GUN Miller left his sled in front of the shop the other day, This cat is serious about his VW's. He drives this chop around like he just car jacked it.Slammed bug's----The BEST!

MOON BASE SPEEDWAGEN

The SPEEDWAGEN now has 2 Moons in orbit around the shop, Thanks to Wageneer Jungle Jim Burke, who blew in the shop today from up Windy City way. This is just what the Speed Doctor ordered for shoeing the Wagen in style. This is the first set of Moons that I have had since "65". These bad boys were on the the back of my "36" pick-up. They kid on the roof is now 40 or so years old,I was supposed to be watchin lil Mikey--but instead we worked on my truck together. --check out the passenger car dog house. I used to tell people it was a 36 Ford Ranchero (some believed it)
