Burke bellytank re-creation continues

When we last left Geoff Hacker’s Bill Burke re-creation bellytank racer, Geoff had just dropped it off with Ted Kemgens and Tom Bambard of Creative Motion Concepts in Tampa, and left them with instructions to replicate one of the most important historic land-speed racers – and to do so before August. That was in May, and Ted and Tom have made significant progress in the last couple months. As for the Ford flathead V-8 engine, Geoff trusted the build to Jon Phillips, who has tried to make it look as authentic to 1946 as possible.

Also, if you have a few minutes, a local TV station visited Ted and Tom to find out what they were doing with the car. I wonder if the anchorwoman always tells the audience she doesn’t care about the subject matter of a segment?
