PETER EXPLAINS THE WORKINGS OF THE FUNNY CAR TO A RESTAURANT PATRON.
NOTE THE STARTER HANGING OFF OF THE FRONT OF THE ENGINE WITH THE THICK RED CABLE. THE ENGINE REQUIRES A LOT OF TORQUE TO TURN IT OVER, SO WE USE AN AIRCRAFT ENGINE STARTER FOR THE JOB.  ONCE STARTED, IT’S GRABBED BY THE HANDLE AT THE TOP AND REMOVED BEFORE THE BODY IS CLOSED.
