Does anyone know of a Tubonique Drag Axle for sale?

Jody morgenstundellc@mail.com wants one

He writes that he is going to remanufacture them, and needs original parts to make engineering drawings, molds, and models from...

I have been able to find technical info on the thrust engines, micro-turbines, even working units of those for sale, but have had no luck on obtaining anything to do with the drag axles which are the real power houses.

Yes, if you would not mind, I would appreicate it if you could post that I am looking for turbonique items.

I do buy other parts as well, because I intend re-manufacture turbonique items and existing parts are alot easier to make molds from.

Ron Pratte collection update, his collection is shown in a video that was used to show his sale of these four cars at Barrett Jackson auction this weekend

Best video and interview of Randy Grubb (Blastolene Brother) artist / maker of the Deco Liner

this is a 15 minute video, and I can't wait to see if the Pulse Jet bellytanker gets to El Mirage. What am I talking about? The interview happened when a pulse jet expert was at Randy's, and they seem to have collaborated on a bellytanker with a pulse jet the power equivalent of the V1 rocket
