I'd better start thinking about building a car for this engine !! Been looking at these orange rails for a number of years. Only thing I can think of is that these are from an Orange Blossom Puller that I got for parts a long time ago. The more I look, the better they do, for this build   |

Now THAT"S funny! Let's build an engine then wrap a vehicle around it! Reverse engineering for reverse induction! It will be a great build, I predict.

Too late now, but I think it looks good untubbed too.

I am liking those tubs. Kinda gives it a Tractor puller look.

Today solved a couple of other items. Cooling and where to put a gas tank.  That gas tank was a suitcase or something similar. Was an accessory in a kit that I ravaged a long time ago.   |

I'm dinkin' around with incedentals,now. Rounded up a couple of radius rods, old headlights, and using one of the old lanterns (dechromed) for a taillight. Turned a caddy type lens from red taillight sprue. Seeins as I cleverly located a radiator between the frame rails, I will be using an empty model A grill shell (deblinged, of course,) with the center hogged out. I'll be painting it body color.  |

I see more surprises (and weirdness) ahead! Surprised the frame isn't a longer one. Everything looks so close together, tho maybe it's the foto rather than reality. Good luck!
