15 years of his life; 20,000 hours to build.

Hmmmmmm......can you spell committed? Perhaps that's what should happen to him!

Very nice, for all that.

That had to have taken tremendous skill to machine all those parts including the valve springs

Retrofit some servos and a remote control!  Worlds sickest remote control car.  I couldn't live seeing that thing sit immobile when I knew it could actually move.

Either that or build a fleet of them, train some monkeys and WHAM, new racing series.

Wow, cool idea.  Mebbe he could build a mini-cyborg that would actually drive it.
