During the auction of the original blueprint I contacted the seller and was
told that he and the original owner of the drawing (George Kudasch) were
reserving limited rights to sell reproductions of the original. I figure that
this is that sale. I believe but cannot positively confirm that George is in
on the deal. If that's the case I think it's neat that the original draftsman
is making something off of his work.
I originally thought about making a serious bid on the original with the idea
of recreating the full size original style blueprint reproductions. After
some investigation I abandoned the idea. One reason is that it's no longer
possible in this part of the world to get a commercial printer to make old
style ammonia process blueprints in the necessary scale. Those guys have all
abandoned that reproduction process due to pollution and worker safety
issues.

Sounds like the story I was told by an ARDUN owner that there will be 100 of
these available. Someone paid $3,000.00 for the original on eBay a while back,
must be trying to recoupe his expence. Bob in connecticut (Former Ardun owner
BIG one and a V8-60 set)
