    I love the classic styling. I wonder how the wood will age/put up with the water?

    What a waste of Ferrari V-12 ---- needs to be in an F-car ! :)

    Ditto for the steering wheel --- if it is an authentic Nardi :).

    I love the exhaust headers. I wonder if there is any exhaust baffling at all, it probably sounds fantastic.

    Can you just imagine that thing at wide open throttle? Just look at those carbs, not to mention the pipes. Unreal.

    Big assed Lampredi engine with triple 4 barrel Webers. Not the same as the one in the video. Video one is supercharged w/carbs not mounted between cylinder banks.

    Gosh.
    I thought it common knowledge.

    ;)

    I've never had a rust issue on any of my cars. They crapped out before they rusted out.

    If done right, wood will last almost forever.

    The USS Constitution holds Commission #1 in the US Navy and is still afloat over 200 years later.
