Give em a break, how many YEARS have u guys spent building a car, never to take on a project of this magnitude. They could be waiting on a vendor, or ran into an issue that is giving them a fit. I like you an chomping at the bit, but these things take time. Shoot they may be in negotiations with some big investor that has insisted they stop posting details until negotiations are finished.

And none of the reasons you listed are an excuse for not posting a quick blurb, like "stay tuned for updates!"

They are also under no conditions to reply or share information especially to people that feel entitled to it but have not put in the time or effort of their work.

Absolutely. It's more of a professionalism thing to do so (good for marketing). I'm glad they finally came forward after years of silence/hiding... I tried to track them down years ago because someone on here was interested in purchasing but we both got stonewalled at Brians voicemail.

It's a fine piece of work.
The leaks are hairline cracks. You have proposed flowing with epoxy. Now I would consider a job like that for an aircraft only if the welding gave a leakfree first result. Epoxy is a fix. OK for a car, but it's a bit difficult to pull over on the hard shoulder in a Mustang P51 ...... Furthermore some leaks are into the oilways. And the oil as it is now doesn't reach the cam galleries. BTW, he stayed in Seattle for a long period to get some progress so maybe that is why he needed to save some cost? I have discussed some possible de-leaking measures with him and intend to drop by some time during August to see for myself, then I may post some pics.

Now I am the first who would have shouted hooray for a successful project, and I was quite enthusiastic when I first heard about it in the initial stages. But it seems to me it has been hyped to more than it is.

Sorry for the lack of updates guys.

Like I have said before, we are building this v12 out of our garage. We do have actual day jobs, so this is not a 24/7 project. We have been making progress on it slowly, as you could imagine with a project like this. I'll try and post updates more frequently.


Cheers

Awesome. I wonder how well the intake will feed the back two cylinders. You may need a throttle body at each end!

All it is , is air. The fuel is introduced at the back of the valve, so it shouldnt be a problem.
