What a piece of work!

I wish I had the patience to make something like that. CNC would be
cheating.

He's doing another 312PB, a P4 and a 250 GTO.

1220 hours used to make that :-)
CNCc would cut that drastically but I agree with you, it would be cheating.

I'd love to see his plans. Cooling fins on the jugs would have been a
nice touch.

I cringed when I saw him take the crank shaft to the grinder. Even a
well dressed wheel can get messy.
