After building - by hand - a scale 427 Ford from the NASCAR past, Leonard Wood got tired of people saying it was just a model, so he built - by hand - a pair of Holley double pumpers.

He doesn't own a CNC machine.
There is a vid of him running the test stand engine with one of the true scale articles.
He's 89.
