Hi all,
Ran across this, and wasn't sure if it had been posted here or not.
If it has been, sorry :-[

Holy flying carp! That is a magnificent piece of work! The fact that the engine actually runs makes it even more mind-boggling!

Ray,
Not only does the motor run but the transmission, drive line and rear end
are fully functional.
Pretty incredible

I was lucky to have a chance to see the car in person at the Cabin Fever Expo in York, PA a couple of years back.  The photos don't do it justice - the level of detail and superb machining are simply mind-boggling.  Mr. Chenot is very pleasant, and quite willing to share all the how-to information.

This is top tier building. Can't imagine how it could be better. Goes for most of the builders on that craftsman site.
