No backyard project here: Before construction began, Lynn Yakel—an aviation design engineer, fellow hot rodder, racer, and friend—fashioned a model of the streamliner. Eddie Miller of Edco Brake shaped the aluminum body. Plywood bulkheads were used to outline the skin. After two years, the body was finished the first day of Speed Week at Bonneville in 1966.
