This Blows Away The Tank Rod !

If you thought Leno's Tank Rod (aka Blastolene Special) and the Pete rod were wild...
This beats all!
Take 12 minutes and watch this - what workmanship and, I guess, vision!

I love it. He should have painted it yellow and called it he yellow submarine. I wonder if he improved the fuel economy with that nice shape and lightweight body. I have always wanted to design and build something like that, but I wanted mine to look like a jetliner. I thought I could improve the economy enough to make it worthwhile. But I do not have enough time nor money to devote to such an undertaking, and I do not care much for motor home camping anyway.
