Bill's table
« on: February 29, 2020, 10:25:50 am »
Greetings,
My apologies for the last minute effort on my part.

I guess my theme is dig out a few things I haven't seen for a while, sorry no time for polishing off the patina and grime. :)

Here is one of my favorite Wilescos, D15.

Great presentation Bill.

I am particularly smitten with your Wilesco Mods. 

Your matching bases on the Graham Industries engines are also really nice.

Thank you for participating in GPU 2020. 🤠

Love that modified Weeden made to match the workshop  8)  and was that Mamod a custom order? or something they made for a limited time?

Remote controlled Hotrod

I believe I remember a V-twin car out in your workshop from my visit 3 years ago... is that still a work in progress?

And thanks for participating!  :)

I think I got one of the first Mamod Beams produced, I pre-ordered it when it was announced.
The larger flywheel is one that I made for it because I thought the engine looked too plain.

Here's another little workshop resto, this one is electric.

New pulleys and paint for this one, it was pretty rough

The car had a Saito v4 in it, a three wheeler, and still a work in progress.

Nicely modded wilesco, and I also like the Weeden sprayed to match the workshop. They look swell together

Hey Bill, like everyone else say's that Weeden looks new with a killer paint job, good choice.
I wish I would have grabbed one of those D 15 with tile looking base. Well done on choosing what to put on the table.
