I’d like to see the pile of scraps left over after carving a fender or a gas tank out of billet.

Nonono no.

The entire car...there are no bolts or even motor mounts...one continuous piece.

It must have been quite a feat cutting the clearances between the "bearing surfaces" of the rods, mains and the crank all done inside the block with no bolt-on bearing caps.

I'm just not too confident how well an aluminum crank and transmission gears would hold up.
