Coming together faster than thenothers ive seen the shop build. Inknow there are many variables to why this build is coming together faster. All i can say is that the Cleteus team made the right decision on having CJRC build his next ride. Do it Right the first time, instead of doing it over again and again. Racers who went with CJRC have their cars in the Winner's Circle, in some class at some track almost every weekend. If you have the luxury to afford it and want it done to perfection. Give Cameron Johnson Race Cars a call.

Danny would probably like the 1/2 inch SK ratchet that I bought at Habitat Restore for $3. I researched and discovered that it was made during the war years. It's cadmium plated, not chromed. There aren't any dents in the knurling. This wrench caught my eye for two reasons. I've never seen a non chromed ratchet. Most all ratchets are smoothly rounded in all directions on the working end. This one is roughed into shape... fairly smooth, but it needed a few more finish passes to make it look smooth enough for chroming. I saw 4 on eBay for $125. 😱 I think it was $3 well spent. Escuse me for rambling. I was thinking this was about me, not the engine. 😁 That is beautiful.

You guys are definitely in a class of your own. The quality of work and attention to detail are amazing. Really like nothing else I've ever seen.

Came here to check out the Cletus build. Subscribed because of the genuine character of all of them. Makes you feel like dad or grandpop is teaching you things in the garage all while building an awesome car.
