Thanks for all the kind words about the Trevoux replica. The sectioning took a lot of time and head scratching but I am tickled to death with how John Reinhart's nice design responds to the removal of a little metal. Heaven knows it worked on the Panamericans. It is resting just now because I have allowed myself to get sucked into roadster fever. Right now that vehicle (Scrapula) has finished the mockup stage and has been torn apart to be made pretty. The body is smoothed and painted, the frame was just painted today, and the engine block is bored, ported, and relieved and hanging on the engine stand.

I am planning to have it at Gettysburg as an aid to keeping folk's skin loose. Friends from Packardinfo who make themselves known are welcome to take it for a (chaperoned) drive. It is wicked fun to drive.
