Mal, thanks. The description Ross gives in the Owner Registry satisfies my curiosity. Thanks for pointing me to his registry.

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.

I wish I could be there! Sounds like it would be a hoot!

It is wicked fun to drive. A very generous offer, Ross. If anybody needed that little bit of persuasion to go to Gettysburg, a drive of Scrapula could be just what's needed to decide in the affirmative.

Love that Scrapula, must be a blast to drive! The replica is sweet too! Too bad PMC didn't do something similar as their sporty offering...
