Re: Torpedo Jones
Did you know this was fashioned after a real race car? A 1911 FIAT S76 It's 4 cyl displaced 28,353cc's and would take it to about 210kph! That's haulin' butt on balloon tyres. I'll post you a pic when I can find it. Yours looks good by the way.

Re: Torpedo Jones
Yep! That's it. That's the first time I've seen the left side. I always figured the exhaust came out that side. I suppose those two rectanlge ports are for exhaust? Makes one wonder how they kept from burning valves. I see the 1912 model did have a header. One can only imagine the noise a 28+ litre engine would create. I understand the things were pretty competitive.
The treatment you did on this one actually makes the car look smaller.
