The top picture is of Tom Ruttan's replica bike. Used many original parts.

Sold recently for $25k.

Thanks for the tip. I fell hard for Tom's replica last year though both Wayne's blog and Mid-America. I ran into Tom last weekend and he mentioned he is now building a real GP from one of the original factory replacement engines. I can't wait to see it.

I'm currently reading Edward Turner's biography and all the GP discussion in it has me a little GP obsessed.
