"ALL THE WORLD'S A JUNK YARD"

"All the world's a junk yard, and all its cars are RACERS"
---William Shakeysteer
The Speedwagen is a classic example of the (soon to be) famous quote above.
We have scrounged the Junk Yards of the Globe for the componentry necessary to GETRDONE. When J.W. and I started the scheme for this car we had no preconceptions. We started with a rule book and looked for a class record that looked like it would be a challenge, but also an obtainable one. Then the formulation of the components to fill the bill was conceived on the back of place mats at the local greasy spoon. Only at Bonneville would you find a car with a chopped German body, grafted to the nose of a stretched French car, that is pushed by a Japanese motor from the rear of a VW tranny,that turns Porsche axles, and steered by a model A Ford front axle that has GM brakes. And last but not least, the Nuts behind the wheel were made in the U.S.A.
