The theory that Ghanian materials are shipped to China for pre-processing suggests why the fit and finish of the SUV are light-years ahead of the armored car and robot army.

Flathead Fords had sand-cast blocks. It works if you get all the sand out of the cooling passages.
That's a great link, hey. Dude has been busy. Kantanka "toilet roll dispenser"! The man is a FORCE! Clearly. Lol. But I think these pics you found exhibit a long development of his enterprises. There is one shot featuring a sign from a tech fest in 2002. And the wooden motorcycle (so whimsical).

Maybe his manufacturing capability has been improving in fit and finish, too.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
