The World’s Fastest Road Grader

The original diesel engine is gone, replaced by a massiveblown V8 “Rat” motormounted inside the chopped and customized grader body.
At the rear arefour giant dual drag slicks, giving this fantasy construction machine the aggressive stance of a quarter-mile dragster.
Up front, vintage-style side lamps add an old-school touch, while the large chrome grader blade looks ready to flatten anything in its path.
