It's an air-cooled V8 aircraft engine. I'll post some info if I can find it.
That thing looks awesome.

The 702 cubic inch, GMC V12. What does one do with a whopping 275 horsepower at 2400 RPM?

You cruise smoothly about whilst the natives look on and marvel [cl You know, like the twin 6 you are imagining.

I'm thinking it would look better with the fenders on - more like a early 30's Imperial:

1928 Rolls Royce custom "Thunderbolt"
The first couple of photos are from http://thethrottle.com/2014/10/07/this-1928-rr-roadster-sold-for-187k-14-hq-photos/ -- who stole them from someone else.

I don't really like the wooden torpedo tail, but that car is something else.

Been away from here for a long time, nearly a year. A bit of new art

Somebody tried to log in as me today and failed, so I figured maybe I should stop by and say hello and leave a bit of my latest art work for the gang.

Nice pics, Mike. From the dirt drags, right?

Bob W - Yes. Fun event that was really well done for its first year. Headed to the Hot Rod Hill Climb in a few weeks for more from the same group of folks.
