Thanks, folks...I'm glad you have a connection with this little guy, Don. I've always thought it was cool especially with those folding gear. This model really fills a gap in a collection.
I got the spinner pretty much ready for paint and started assembling the cylinders. I know they are not as complicated as most, but for me, they are at least difficult. I'll need to do some touch up, but I do think the engine will look great in that cowling!
Here the progress so far.
More tomorrow when I hope to get the rest of the cylinders installed and start pushrods. I'll be adding some bolts and an ignition harness as well.
Cheers,
Dan
