Would this be considered a rail buggy? Notice the TWIN engines!

That is awsome! It appears the front engine drives the front wheels. I can only assume the rear engine drives the rear wheels. Through some 40" Boggers all the way around and go Muddin! :mrgreen:

Thats what I was thinkin.....not much room between those engines for a transaxle, but you never know.
Wonder what the apparatus is with the polished aluminum top on it sitting behind the left bank of the front engine?

Front engine prolly empty, just there for show. :mrgreen: :wink: :mrgreen:

I mean at the REAR of the front engine, between the two engines.

If you look in the cockpit between the seats it appears to be a cover over a transmission. Thats why I think the rear engine drives the rear wheels. Both engines could still be tied together.

That thing you see is the power steering reservoir. Both engines are linked, but only the rear is running accessories, so the front can be removed. It uses a dana 60 rear end, and is only 2wd. 900 hp in a 2300lb car!!!
