What a slap in the face for Cyclone shareholders.
Here's a shot of the shop, that shareholders have been paying so dearly for all these years:
100% of the building has been leased by Cyclone for how many years now? Let's see, 2004 to 2017 at $65,000 per year rent with all but the last year or two going straight into Harry Schoell's pocket.
Now for the skill testing question: what in that picture has to do with making working steam engines? Hint: it's on the left with junk piled against it.
Front and center is Frankie's custom boat that shareholders paid Schoell marine an undisclosed amount of money to build. You know, the one Frankie was scheduled to set the water speed record for steam boats with in 2012. No sign of a Cyclone engine, though.
Then on the right are production molds for building fiberglass bodies of the custom land speed record car. Harry had Cyclone shareholders pay Schoell Marine an undisclosed big pile of money to make high-quality production molds, because, of course, every Cyclone engine dealer would want an empty body of the land speed record car on display in order to sell more engines.
The first photo of the article is Harry leaning against the roll cage of the car. The engine compartment is at the bottom right of the photo. You can see the details of the electrical system because there happens to be no engine in the engine compartment. Sorta like the boat.
Not too surprising how little progress there's been on the Cyclone engines all these years when you see how little time Harry actually puts into it.
And as Molten Salt said:

Celebrating someone's death. I'll bet Cyclone has a place for someone like you. After all, after Chuk Williams had crashed at the Bonneville Salt Flats and was in the hospital Harry Schoell went on twitter with a boast of how he was going to set the speed record. He even included a photo of Chuk's car calling it the Cyclone car. Sleeziness and Cyclone just seem to go together.
