        My step-dad once made a Snowmobile from a Vietnam-era Alum Fuel pod that used to be on the wingtips of older jets.
        We used a rear-mounted corvair engine ,coupled to two Track assemblies from our Alaskan Ice rigs we built for Crowley.
        Seem to recall one fast test-run with it ending up buried deeply into a snowback at the lower parking lot.
        Looked very similar to the Mighty Salmon car,just 10 feet longer.And as Ralph Nader coined it,"Unsafe at any Speed".
        Wait until some future Archeaoligist digs up the treaures on the Lamb Farm.

              Having seen this thing up close, I can say the most amazing thing isn't that he built it, but that he was able to wedge himself into it! It's like a pair of metal tights.

                Tim, I wonder if my dad knew your step dad. We took a trip to a race track near Vancouver BC in the early 60's with a guy that made a race car out of an early jet fighter tip tank. I don't know what class it was, but it was a big winding track and all of the other cars looked like real race cars. Just before the race, "our" car had a fuel line malfunction and the "crew" was tasked with chewing enough gum to patch it together. The last we saw of that car was a column of black smoke off in the distance. I have no idea what the guy's name was.
