Saw that one on the NE tour. Sounds as good as it looks. Ol'Ron can fill the details. I think he had a hand in the engine build.

Not only did I have to take off my shoes to count that far, I had to take off the wife's shoes as well.

Yup! built the whole thing myself. George will kill me if he reads this.
This engine was build bt George Perry, he's is a good friend and was at the Chili party. He also brought his Ardun powered 40.

The true beauty is in the detail.

That is a fine job, George. Very eye popping. I have seen some pictures previously and wish I could see it in the real.

Yup we had a good time at the party. Not many cars, but the ones that showed up were fine indeed. That Model "A" is for sale.

Youse guys will have to ask George about the engine. But I'll tell you this the care is special from the shock brackets to the windshield posts, there one of a kind.
George spent several years putting it together, not sure if it's done yet.

Have to laugh, the younger generation is baffled by a normal flathead, used to ask us why the motor in the rail had four plugs and three exhaust openings so this should totally blow their minds!
