IT'S MOTORHEAD SUNDAY

Today's offering is a Souped Up 1947 Hudson body hotrod with a 392 cu in Chrysler Hemi mill.  I can't testify to the carburetion but it appears to be a 4bbl Weber.

With basically "no weight" to the body, this puppy will go!  When the driver kicks in the 4-barrel carb, it's a race between the fuel gauge and the speedometer.  And the sound is even better.
