In a bold move that can only be described as audacious, Rob Dahm undertakes the Herculean task of squeezing a monstrous 12-rotor engine into a dragster. Armed with cutting-edge 3D scanning technology, he meticulously maps out the frame rails to ensure a perfect fit for this engineering marvel. But as with any ambitious project, challenges rear their head - particularly in the form of the turbo assembly, which threatens to throw a spanner in the works. Undeterred, Rob dives headfirst into the intricate world of CAD design, meticulously planning every detail to overcome these obstacles.
Not content with just revolutionizing the dragster's powertrain, Rob decides to add a touch of luxury to his endeavors. With a mischievous glint in his eye, he surprises his father by chauffeuring him in a majestic Rolls-Royce, courtesy of Turo. As the project progresses, Rob's attention to detail becomes increasingly apparent, as he meticulously aligns chassis components and fine-tunes the design to perfection. The prospect of extending the chassis by 10 inches to accommodate the engine's girth is just one of the many challenges that Rob fearlessly tackles.
With a keen eye for precision and a thirst for innovation, Rob and his team embark on a journey to reinforce the chassis with slip joints and optimize the dragster for peak performance. As the project nears completion, the meticulous planning and attention to detail shine through, showcasing Rob's unwavering commitment to excellence. In the world of high-octane engineering, Rob Dahm stands as a true maverick, pushing the boundaries of what is possible in the pursuit of automotive greatness.
