This is a pretty amazing amount of work. He also built his own english wheel, dimple dies and a few other tools along the way. I was pretty impressed.

A lot of nice fabrication there. I'm guessing the guy is either retired or a part time farmer, or something like that.
He's using a lot of thick steel, hopefully it isn't too heavy when he is done. |

One of our local guys designed and built an Ariel Atom replica without ever having seen one in person.

Wow. I wonder if changing the optispark on a MG is any easier than on ANY GM body? :-D |

I guess it might have been a good time for an LS1 swap in the C4. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
There isn't much MG left, I thought it was still a pretty impressive undertaking. |

He'll probably master and cast his own intake manifold and construct his own dry sump pan and tank. :-D |
