Hi Tom,
I have replied to your project on another forum but couldn't stop from adding another here. Man that is one sweet project!!! Your craftsmanship on all the components, from metal to wood is outstanding. I can't wait to see it finished.

I think there is some Amish man missing a set of wheels for his buggy.  :lol:

WOW, that is some excenllent workmanship I've ever seen. A nice vid of it with you piloting it would be nice when it's finished.

I was at the Benz dealer the other day getting a part for my car. While I was standing at the parts counter I noticed a picture of the car you are building. The title was something along the lines of "if cars had DNA..."

Very cool because I recognized the car as the one you are building.
