The Mach 5, 20B?


I just saw the new Speed Racer Movie, and i love the look of the car and i think i want to build a full car and fiberglass it.


I'm going to build a full aluminum tube frame and then hog wire it fo form the fiberglass

The only issue im going to have is with the dash, and the red leather.

I decided on the 20B full aluminum front middle and rear plates, lightened rotors and street port big signal turbo.

I figure the 3 rotor will be the best sounding engine that i could put in the car.

If you guys have any ideas that would help me on getting this dream to reality let me know!

Thanks guys

Hey Man, more power to ya' if you can pull that one off. That's a lot of work, fabricating and ingenuity you are talking about there.

The "Orbitron" is just begging for a 20b
IMO, there are a few "big Daddy" cars still missing, why not recreate one of them

^ ^ ^ Right.
Damn that looks similar to a model car I built when I was a kid!! I don't remember what it was called anymore. I think I just called it the bubble car for obvious reasons, but the front end was much cleaner than that one is.

Oh, and Big Daddy would roll over in his grave if he knew one of his inventions was being powered by a Japanese rotary.

How's your math???
