Hi, I have been looking into this. The only restrictionis the need for a CNC 
mill with an active 4th Axis and the software to program it. That and size. 
Yes, it would be similar to a motorbike. I am intersted in programming it and 
building one for a Lotus 7 type special. I will be probably be using the 1965 
Cortina GT motor and trans with an EFI system. Nicely, it has the shift 
mechanism forward enough to get rid of the problems of mounting the drum over 
the top of the box like a Mustang or similar application. Luckily, I am a rep 
for a CAD/CAM software, so I am going to do it and use it to demo some 
features. I will keep the list posted as it comes together.
