The 30 hp engines...
Thanks for those nice words on my 1957 lowlight engine. It's a long project guys. Bought the car from Bob's (BBT) private collection in 2000, the engine is allready finished since 2004. Hope to have the car finished in a couple of years...

Sarge check your mirrors before backing up next time dude. Hmmm, good idea. Normally, I just back up until I hear broken glass |

here is my 1776ccm: Hopefully in 2009 with IDA`s and some more cc`s.The parts are already hanging around and waiting that's a very clean engine Felix! Hi Jim, thank you ! I think with those IDA`s and a decent linkage it will look even smoother & cleaner . That`s even a thing I really like about those 24,5 & 30PS engine`s, they are so simple and "smooth" build. I love the overall "clean" and simple look with the cooper fuellines and the way the distributor cables are arranged. @Basti: Hey when will that beauty fire up again? |
