Lovely work! Did you do all the machining as well? Do you have a presence on the builders' forum?

I can't keep up with all the names, so I will try to answer your questions you asked. I did indeed machine my parts , using just crude tools ,bandsaw, drill press,polishing machine. I used scrap 60/61 billet alum. from molding machine.I live in Old Fort n.c. about 20 miles east of Asheville n.c. or about 90 miles west of Charlotte. Thanks for your kind words.4th
