WOW !! The talent to build this is beyond words. What an awesome project !!I do have to say why ,why, why would he put a Jap engine in it?? Oh well, to each is own. A question comes to mind with this project though !! How is it licensed? I'm sure as a homebuilt, but how small can you legally make a car?? Could I take a go-kart, use one of those small fiberglass bodies and put turn signals on it, wipers etc.. and drive it on public roads??
I saw that at Back to the Fifties this last year,,there are usually a few of them rolling around...guys with an awful lot of skill and time... In my opinion the Minnesota State fairgrouds is the best venue for car show,,,beats the hell a big paved lot with the sun burning the crap out of you..

Im just impressed with guys who can make panels trim etc from sheet steel . I love the fab process and i get it but these guys really take it to the next level. The scale process is what gets me,because the overall look is really good and the proportions are bang on. Love to spend time with guys like that,its kind of a lost art. Darn good post thanks,fowarding to some others.

Here is some more pic of Ernie's stuff If was 10 and started now I could never accomplish that in a lifetime..Some people are so talented but they worked darn hard to learn and hone that talent.. Sure have to appreciate whar he has created..
I was at the Earlton steam show couple years ago and one fellow there had built a scale Ford 302,,was about the size of a lunch box.. He said it was something different from his usual scale steam engines that he builds from scratch. We usually go to that show every year as our summer cabin is nearby.
