nitrous as fritracer said. I question his logic of mounting those two nitrous tanks back there with the engine and exhaust, too hot. The bottle pressure could rise to disastrous levels.

When I saw that car, I immediately thought of you! Did you notice the fire extinguisher? If it was on fire, I'd hate to have my hands in there trying to remove the extinguisher!

Maybe he can drive over to get his tanks filled, I'm all setup now to do it.

**@ Viv** · 12-01-2010 05:29 PM

I wonder if it's even driven! Some of the cars in the museum are never driven.

sorry, hit the enter key by accident. Now, where was I? Oh yeah, Jim, is there anything else in your little chest of goodies you would like to show us? You seem to have a little bit of everything in there! Or maybe you are a closet dentist and that is your painkiller!!!Fritracer

ahead of your Dinan supercharger! Not really, that's just the original tank distributer, you didn't see all of what was around the neck, "Maine Oxygen and Acetylene Supply Company." Don't know how it ended up done here in MA. I got it from a Plymouth welding supply house.

**JimLev** · 12-02-2010 05:21 PM

of sulfur dioxide in it to prevent wackos from buying it to get high.
Yup, a little bit of everything, 103 octane race fuel, M1 methanol, your typical go fast assortment of goodies, and lots of tools.
