Steve
I have got to say it is amazing what a person can do and in the scale at the same time. How you use the metal to do what you want is just brilliance. I enjoyed the 396 build and that has always been my first love in cars. It was the first car I drove and it scared the h*ll out of me at 14 years old. My cousin came home from Vietnam and bought a brand new 1969 Chevelle SS 396. Loved that old car.
There is one other car build that I have been following now for years (mid 2010). I hope I do not slow your progress down any, other would hate me, but here is the mans build of a 1956-7 Lincoln Mark II. Take a look what he has done in 1:12 scale.

Hi Steve, these are fantastic and very realistic details. Once started in the world of CNC , there is so much to discover and  things are getting possible you never start thinking about before. I like it and it will push me to use my little CNC Mill quite often.

Thanks guys. I have been a little distracted with something I have been trying to get done for NAMES. Once NAMES is over I should be able to get back to biz on this one.

Hello Steve

Wow, what an incredible masterpiece in three dimensional sculpture. It's an anatomy lesson of a drag racer.
Even at 1/5 scale, it's gonna be big.
