Yes it's a Hustler. Wicked airplane (in every sense of the word). Same engines (well... mostly) were used to power the Convair 990 commercial jetliner. Also a wicked, and, when all was said & done, wickedly unsuccessful aircraft.
Cool as heck, though.

Politics killed the Hustler. Then they chopped them up real quick. -
It just dawned on me -- I don't think that beautiful white Bronco has any windshield wipers. Mine had a big plastic cover thingy over the mechanism -- at the top of its (hinged) windshield.
Were that white one mine -- I think I'd invest in a roll bar, too.

These probably ended up beer can pop tops. Probably not, pop tops weren't around yet.

IIRC, I think they had a tendency to kinda kill their crews.
They also were bombers when the strategy was moving missle-wards.

I really like the Raptor. When I arrived at my Squadron HMM-764 in April 2001 at Edwards AFB CA, they were still testing the F22. Our squadron was moved there from El-Toro when Bill Clinton closed a bunch of bases. On a almost daily basis while working on our CH46E SeaKnights we would see the F22s testing. They would roll right past us and head to the runway. Got so see a few up real close at the wash rack. Cockpit was unlike anything I had seen before. The skin of the aircraft has a very unfamiliar texture.
We got to see a lot of cool things at Edwards AFB. Airbus A380 testing. My very first day on the flight line my wife and I watched an F35 doing a vertical take off. Did not see much of the F35 after that. They must have been wrapping up their testing there. Seen two Space Shuttle landings. Seeing a 747 with the Shuttle mounted on top take off was pretty amazing! I never saw it fly but there was a SR71 with yellow NASA printed on the tail and a large long aerodynamic looking contraption on top, parked near the wash rack. I think it might have been an experimental ram or scram jet engine on top. Watched a U2 take off. It looked like it was going 45 mph but pitched up and just climbed out of sight. We had a B17 parked behind our hanger for a week during an air show. Got to climb all over it. They are a lot smaller than they look on TV. That was a treat as my Grandfather was a Crew Chief and door Gunner on the Judy J B17 over Germany based out of England. We would see several Global Hawk/Predator drones. I think they were practicing from what was then Indian Springs AFB in NV but is now known as Creech AFB. Us Marines did all our night vision flight training at Indian Spings AFB before it became Creech. Our training unit HMMT-164 was based at Camp Pendleton San Diego CA. Air space was too conjested and there was too much light pollution for safe night vision training. So we went to the NV desert north of Vegas, Indian Springs.
Well, I think that's the longest post I've ever made.

They are just outside Edwards AFB. Lancaster and Palmdale are the main areas outside the base. And the closest In-N-Out burger. Lockheed's Skunkworks is in Palmdale.
The A12 was the predecessor to the SR71 right? Or was the A12 the CIA plane and the SR71 the USAF plane? -
Currently helping a buddy. Home made harness, hot stamped wire all terminations finished by hand. Anyone know what that is by the color? -
What kind of car???

Correct. Depending how diehard some of you may be about this vehicle, the color should give it away. It is a stock color for this particular whip.What kind of car???
Need to get some better pictures, but we’re closing in on the finish, and I never think ahead of time to shoot my work.

Ford something??? Mustang or a tractor? Or a Lamborghini Countach? AMC Hornet? GTX?
Oh, maybe a Cobra?
