This is the only picture I have and its not even a picture. Just an old slide.

It is a 1963 double door panel bus with a 4" chop.
I installed a 13B rotary engine with a radiator located where the engine lid was. I used a Kennedy adapter and fabricated mounts. My first custom build.
The tranny and reduction boxes were replaced with a Type 3 tranny and custom axles.
A Bus Boys front end handled the lowering in the front.
It ran with 195/50/15 tires on 5 lug chromies.
It was so low I could see over the top of it while standing next to it.
The door windows were tinted plexyglass and the back window was blacked out with spray paint.

It was stupid fast but had stock drum brakes. Almost got me killed a couple of times. I blew the rotary one day and dropped a 1600 DP back it it then did something really stupid... I traded it for a Mazda RX7. I wish I know what happened to it... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
