LP420 SVM Urraco aka the Twice Baked Bull

The frame with the vin, the doors, hood, roof, inner fenders
, rockers wheel arches, headlights, taillights, badges, license plate lights, windows, windshield and gas cap. Loads of parts and such. BUT REMEMBER THIS WAS A DEAD TWICE BURNED RUSTED HULK. Also remember that you are not the same thing as you were only seven years ago you have a whole new frame as well.

Still a Buick Riviera
Mechanic Converts $400 Rust Bucket Into America's Best Custom Car

 

The Nethercutt collection has won with a car that was found rusted in a field only the vin and a hand full of parts were left. 100% of the car was new fresh build. So yeah one can make a case either way.

For me it is still my old Lambo P250 reborn as LP420 SVM Urraco and well that is the only person it really matters to. Oh and the DMV and my insurance company...

M is for Manolete

BY the way.. This last weekend I successfully raced in the Silver State Classic in the 120 mile per hour target speed / tech speed 140 mile an hour class. took Second Place.
So in MAY 2016 we hope to have the Urraco ready for the 150 / 164 tech speed mile an hour class. Will try and hit the trap at 162 MPH making this the fastest Urraco ever.
Second place 124.9722 Mph 0.5722 seconds off.. (I tapped the brake just before the finish.)

So next MAY if all goes right, (for once) on my birthday, I will set forth in the 2016 Silver State Open road Challenge 150 MPH / Tech 164 Mph class in the LP420 SVM Urraco. Having said that there is a speed trap[ in the race where i can go up top tech speed of 164 mph I will shoot for 162 Mph so I do not get DQed for going over tech speed. That would make the Lp420 SVm Urraco the fastest Urraco ever.. Plus give me either a second chance if there is a problem or weather issues to set the record in September 2016.

OR in September if I complete the 150 MPH class in May, I will then go for the 170 mph class tech to 180 mph. Think that is a max because of the fuel cell capacity and HP of this little beast. Ninety miles at that speed drinks a lot of gas.

 

Sent in an application for a show next year.. When I got the email asking if I wanted to apply, first call / question I asked, was, will we really make it?

Before I even thought to respond to the email. I was assured by Eric to go ahead and apply for the show entry that I have nothing to worry about them getting the car done in time for the show.

Will not say what show until we hear back because if its no, not going to let the wind out of our sails. BUt if the answer is yes we will debut the car at this show for sure.

Fingers crossed. Will know if we got in in a few weeks.

 

Drum roll please...
Wait for it..
