It looks like this digressed a bit, but I guess I can add my 2 cents worth.

I built a TP '23 in 1986, sold it in 2000. Generally was very happy with Micky his staff and his daughters as far as parts and help.

The body was mediocre and did require a lot of straightening, and never did make it completely smooth but it was still nice in Ford Electric Current Red.

The frame was well made with only a couple of minor complaints and one BIG one.

The Watts linkage is about useless - a panhard bar would be better

It will not accept a SB Ford without moving it ~4 inches forward so the back of the engine clears the firewall. This in turn moves the radiator forward. The actual "look" is better as it balances the distance in back of the engine with the front. Comments were "why is this one different than that one and it's the same car"

BAD - The slip joint to the steering box. They split in half !!!!! I am aware of three that have gone bad and Mickey is well aware of the problem. Engineer a u-joint into the steering and it will last forever.

Comments from anyone - as it looks like I might be a hijacker, but.....
