CNC machined case

Hi Fred,

I do appreciate it. Can you share with us more about the engine? I believe yours is the first I've seen of a CNC machined case, not just the timing cover like Ibrahim's.

I like most of it, but do not think the rear lights work. Look cheap like a Chevy product IMO.

I Mark , I understand what you mean , I have to say that the rear was the most difficult part to design , I hope that will not look cheap .

A close rear view ...

Doesn't look cheap to me - the inset is rather cool and does not allow the lights to detract from the flow of the body. Great design all around!

I guess cheap is not the best word, maybe too modern. It just reminds me of a Corvette or Chevy product with the recessed lights. The front is an excellent interpretation of a classic look, but the back just does not seem to be in keeping with the front. IMHO.
