Looks like the radiator cap is your work too.
The leaf is a nice touch.

Nicely done!! If I didn't know better I'd say was a real V8 engine.

Are we sure we are not looking at a 1:1 engine there?

That is some extraordinary modeling there.

Thumper flat head!

Beautiful job on building that engine.

Thanks guys.
Keeps me busy (and distracted) healing from knee replacement.

Working on a tool cabinet for the machine shop.
Stay tuned up!

Hope you heal quickly and the knee replacement is a huge success.

Ouch! knee replacement I will never get one.
Good luck to you though.

Excellent modeling and well wishes on the knee recovery.

You're far too young for a knee replacement.
Hope your recovery is going well.

Philip · January 03, 2026, 01:25:29 PM

Ouch, Oh fun. NOT!

Get well soon!

labdad · January 03, 2026, 04:51:13 PM

Thanks guys. It hurts a lot less now than before surgery.
That's what happens when you take 15,000 steps a day on concrete.

Anyway this is my Christmas project.
I needed a cabinet for stuff.
Based on a picture from the Sierra Nevada machine shop.
Mostly sheet styrene and some strips.
The junk took the longest.

In progress pictures.
