Wow. You could eat off the engine.

You could eat off'a mine too if you like greasy deep fried stuff. :laugh:

Get er done. It is going to be even better than the old days my friend.
I have a new AWESOME road for us to relive the good old days.

Absolutely fabulous. We want audio and video of the start.

 

[HealeyRick]

Simply gorgeous. Looks like a Mike Lempert wheel, too.

 

[drooartz]

Very nice. Love the gauges too -- neat way to have modern gauges with a reasonably factory appearance. Very clean.

Good luck with the first engine start!

Very nice!

Thanks everyone, details consume copious amounts of time for which I would "much" rather be driving, soon I hope?


Yes Rick, that’s a Lempart steering wheel. Lempart is no machinist, just a good Woodchuck.

Lempart is no machinist, just a good Woodchuck.

That's funny, and true. I picked up my Derrington from Mike and he graciously showed me around his shop (while his wife kept my wife and kids occupied chatting with them). Not a metal chip anywhere--just lots of wood dust. He has the metal water jetted if I recall correctly.

Hopefully we'll get a video of the lighting ceremony!

Even Miss Agatha wishes she looked like that.
