[@jimf5160]

Watched this circulating at the Le Mans Classic, absolutely incredible sound track. Missed hearing it start up though, thanks for posting.

[@chrisallen2005]

All of the technology of that car and they used Cortina tail lights. So perfect.

[@apancher]

Hah, I was there, too! I was lucky enough to talk with Bob about how it all came together.

[@projecthondarod]

That startup is wonderful! What a cool car

[@MH-ev3wr]

The funniest part of this video was watching the chick with the stroller IMMEDIATELY get the hell out of there at the first sound of startup, LOL!

Remember it well in its day.

I was watching one of your older videos from 5 years ago in which you were using a wire form buck. Your newer work seems to use wooden bucks. Could you talk about the pros and cons of each and why you changed?

Yes I will explain this in an upcoming video on the series👍🏻

[@markmark5269]

Yuh gunna build one Chris? Certainly some styling cues that are right up your alley there!

It definitely has some design ideas that I’ve thought would both help functionality and look super cool!

[@georgeallen2124]

Awesome!

[@MF-rn5os]

I like the taillights, they look good

[@LightBranches]

From a Ford Cortina!

[@creepingjesus5106]

Technically interesting, and beautiful to boot! What's not to like?

[@keithhoughton4308]

One of these ran at the Le Mans Classic this year. Looked and sounded amazing. Are those Ford Cortina Mk 1 rear light clusters?

Yes I believe they are Cortina lights!

[@LightBranches]

Inspiration for a future build?

[@Spade_Caller]

Holy crap this thing sounds like a Messerschmitt 262 😂

The video hardly does it justice. Absolutely amazing!

[@quas392]

[@JohnJones-oy3md]

Design safety doesn't seem to get much of voice.
