Brian Rupnow.?. I met up with him on a machinist forum recently, here's what he had to say,

"34-40--Hot Rodding was my lifetime hobby up until about 10 years ago. I got arthritis so bad that I couldn't lay on the cement floor and roll around doing all the things required to keep a hot rod in fighting trim. I sold the little yellow roadster pickup and bought a lathe and a mill and started designing and building small engines.--A hobby that can be done standing up at a machine or setting at my computer. Fifty years as a design engineer designing special purpose machinery and automation is a good background to have for doing this.---Brian "end quote. Just thought some of you might enjoy an update.
