Yeah the guy drew up the prints, had a 12 cylinder block cast, then machined it. Also a crankshaft for a 12 cylinder, a cam for 24 valves. Oh yeah a workable transmission. You can imagine the engineering involved in that and 1/3 scale. And I call myself a machinist.

I am sure he had things sent out of house like grinding and casting but he probably did the vast majority of the work in his little shop.

I dunno, it seems like he should have just made it full size instead. I guess that would require MUCH bigger cnc machines and $$, but still.
Impressive skills one way or the other.

That, and it would mean someone would want to drive it 
As a model he doesn't really need to worry about performance, safety or regulations.

i agree he seems very talented, but not really a designer. He didn't design anything, just coppied. He is a fantastic duplicator.
I find it a little creepy, but hey, whatever floats you boat....
