Ok, not to hijack the thread or anything, but did you look at the picture of the engine in that truck? I don't think I have ever seen anyone wrap the fuel line that runs from the fuel pump to the carb -- including the fuel filter -- in material like that. Common practice? Anyone care to tell me what they think that is? Practical? Effective?

Looks like it has Vapor Lock issues. That's just reflective tape with likely insulation under it.

I may have misunderstood the original post. Did you say it needed to be easy to park?

Ok, there have been some really cool cars and trucks posted in this thread, but this one is my favorite thus far...

Actually by far it's my fave, and I would drive it back for you Chris, just because I think it is really, really cool!
